A special warning is now in force concerning the alignment of the Moon and Uranus. This is perhaps one of the most disruptive and emotionally unsettling alignments on the monthly calendar and coming so soon after the Full Moon assumes yet further magnitude.

The alignment will commence around 16:00 GMT, or (11:00 EDT) and will last until around 09:00 GMT (04:00 EDT) on the 2nd of August. Frequent visitors to this site will know that Moon/Uranus alignments, although of relatively short duration, are capable of extremes of mood and circumstance and are often the catalyst for major crimes such as the Virginia Tech shootings in the USA, earlier in the year.

Likely traits to arise from Moon/Uranus alignments include restless and changeable emotions with highly strung, galvanic moods with over excitable feelings that may all to easily turn to extremes of behaviour. As such there may be an emphasis on the very drastic as even minor problems can become the source of major confrontation with the possibility of upheaval within the family setting. In addition Moon/Uranus alignments are capable of producing bizarre, unusual, or out of character moods and behaviour, with the possibility of eccentric or even perverse means of expression.

On the positive side this mood offers great creative potential as well as remarkable energy for on going schemes and ventures. However it may not relate well to more mundane tasks and activities, and ones daily routine may be subject to tempting diversions of a strongly escapist nature. Similarly this may not be the best time for high concentration as ones attention may easily waver, and decisions may not benefit from the best of consideration.

Alert is 8 (possibly a notch or two higher) Moon 89% illuminated.
