This present emotional climate will very easily tend towards highly strung moods and feelings with the possibility of extremes of emotion. In addition there may be refined and delicate moods with sentimental inclinations, but also an easy sense of disillusionment or disappointment.

Under these circumstances emotions will easily be disturbed or upset, with the potential for volatile expression, anger, or argumentative behaviour. These apparent contrasts in mood and feeling are a result of the varied and complex celestial setting at this time.

Primarily of course this is very much a Full Moon setting, and the Full Moon is now less than 48 hours away. As a result there is bound to be an emphasis on strong nervous restlessness, with increased stress and anxiety along with raised awareness and perception. Amongst other things this may lead to fears and worries with strong apprehensions and concern. For some these anxieties may be of an acute variety and will not be improved by the consumption of caffeine whose effects will be greatly magnified.

Some measure of restraint will come from the alignment of the Sun with Saturn. For some days this has provided a balance against the more strident Full Moon emotions including the effects of the opposition between Mars and Jupiter. However the Sun/Saturn alignment is now diminishing and this will mean that the more forceful traits of the Full Moon will begin to predominate.

The reality is that this current emotional climate will be subject to varied and changeable moods, with sensitive emotions being contrasted by those of an altogether more aggressive nature. Then again there is the possibility of more zestful moods and feelings with a good sense of enjoyment that will allow for intensely pleasurable experiences.

As on other occasions personal circumstances will dictate which of these predominate, so that some may remember this time with quite pleasant memories whereas others may see it as a time of very definite challenge.
