We are now just four or five days short of the Full Moon and inevitably moods and emotions will soon begin to feel under some strain and tension. This means a heightened sense of awareness with forceful emotions that will be capable of evoking a whole host of different moods and feelings. This will range from increased aggression, irritability and impatience, to feelings of insecurity, worry and apprehension.

The above mentioned moods will all be heightened or tempered by numerous important planetary alignments. These include the fast developing alignment between the Sun and Mercury. This will give rise to powerful mental and emotional impulses with intuitive impressions that may verge on the psychic. In addition there may be strong creative energy so that artistic talents will flourish to the best of their ability. This alignment can also bring one in greater harmony with spiritual and mystical values, with a greater personal insight that may open the road to new avenues of personal enlightenment.

This period also sees itself under the developing influence of the slow moving opposition between Uranus and Saturn. As mentioned before on these pages this is likely to result in self willed, practical, and mechanical minded leanings, and feelings that alternate between depressive and nervously active moods and behaviour.

As with all emotions associated with Uranus there is the likelihood of eccentric, perverse, extreme, or otherwise out of character moods.

An important factor of the next 48 hours is the alignment of the Moon with Uranus. This is amongst the most unsettling of routine alignments and has often been noted as being linked with particularly extreme events and circumstances with the potential for upheaval in the family setting. Obviously the proximity of the Full Moon with its attendant tensions and anxieties will heighten the influence of Uranus and some discipline may be required to avoid unpleasant or trying circumstances.
