We are now only just a few days after the Full Moon and moods and emotions continue to be tense and on edge. In addition there will be plenty of nervous restlessness with subtle fears and apprehensions.

For some this may still prove to be a highly challenging atmosphere with difficult moods and a tendency towards extremes of thought and emotion. Under these circumstances there may be a certain lack of concentration, indecision, or trouble in making up ones mind . As well as this there is likely to be an easy sense of forgetfulness, disillusionment or disappointment over even the most trivial of setbacks. Criticism will be doubly stinging and low self esteem and enthusiasm may contribute to varying levels of depression or melancholia. Consequently forward progress may seem difficult and it could prove harder to get going.

Venus still remains in opposition to Neptune and for some weeks now this has been contributing a source of restraint to what may otherwise have been highly volatile moods and emotions. This has brought sensitive and delicate feelings with a better sense of harmony and rhythm, along with sentimental reflection, idealism and a feeling for art and things of beauty.

One of the principal features of this present period is a high Solar wind stream that has been buffeting the Earth’s atmosphere over the last few days. This has resulted in a sudden surge in levels of geomagnetic activity, which in turn is capable of quite definite mood effects.

While not fully documented or explored these effects can range from feeling washed out and exhausted with headache or neuralgic symptoms, resembling a hangover. This may be accompanied by irritable moods and feelings and a general lack of focus and concentration. In general some people may feel far from their best, but these effects never last for long and generally wear off within 24 hours, depending on the duration of the geomagnetic activity.

Alert is 8. Moon 90% illuminated.

Massive earthquake comes true to form.

Only a matter of days ago we warned that the immediate period following the Full Moon was extremely vulnerable to large earthquakes, and for yet one more month this is exactly the way it turned out with a massive 7.4 earthquake that struck the remote Mariana Islands region on the 28th of September. Once again it illustrates that amazing connection between Lunar phases and events here on Earth: a connection that bizarrely enough was more widely known and accepted by ancient societies than we do today.
