A slow and gradual downturn in the intensity of moods and emotions is now plainly evident. However there is still enough influence from several planetary alignments to cause problems, and although this is a considerably more sedate atmosphere than of late, there is still need to be wary.

We are still very much at the height of the opposition between Venus and Neptune. This is slow moving so that its effects will become absorbed and to some extent taken for granted. As frequent visitors to this site will know likely traits include sensitive and delicate emotions with a better balance of harmony and rhythm. This may give rise to feelings of sentimentality with idealistic inclinations or ideas for future schemes and ventures. Unfortunately it can also lead to easy disillusionment and disappointment, with reduced self confidence. In addition it can result in an over sensitive disposition that will be vulnerable to emotional upsets and indecision.

Although the opposition between the Sun and Uranus is almost at an end its influence may still be apparent. For some weeks now this has contributed an atmosphere of eccentric, or unusual moods and feelings, with the potential for thoughts and actions that may deviate powerfully from the norm. One element of this is that it may invite thoughts or ideas that one may never previously have considered, with the possibility of a complete change of direction or the adoption of interests that until now may have held very little appeal.

This mood can also give way to a disruptive or rebellious disposition with high intensity, and the possibility of extremes. Much of this intensity will now be lost though some remaining vestiges may still be enough to cause problems. Hence there may be a lingering atmosphere of irritability with moods that may be prone to emotional outbursts or awkward and uneasy emotions.

All in all this atmosphere sees a definite turn towards more sedate moods and feelings, even though there still remains some vestiges of an altogether more contentious mood pattern. One feature of this may be a mood of subtle doubts and apprehensions that may not be easy to shake off or avoid.
