We are now just a few days short of the Full Moon. As a result moods and emotions will incline towards anxiety, tension and restlessness, with impatient or aggressive tendencies. In addition there may be apprehension and concern with an increased sense of awareness.

For some this may come as a welcome boost to on going schemes and ventures, offering energy and drive, not to mention determination to succeed. It can also lead to intense pleasure and sense of fulfilment with rewarding activities that may bring a nice glow of personal achievement. However for others who for various reasons may find themselves under-employed, or without any major sense of purpose this could prove to be a difficult and challenging period as the intense energy of this time requires a definite outlet.

This month the overall Full Moon situation is made all the more intense by the alignment of the Sun and Mercury which is now at a peak. This is fast moving and of short duration only, but is contributing to an atmosphere of powerful mental and emotional activity. This means extra zestful moods and feelings, with increased perception as well as intuitive reception. Activities of a creative or artistic nature will all be boosted, and there will be enhanced spiritual awareness that may open up fresh new avenues of personal enquiry.

As with any Full Moon situation there is a risk of more forceful and assertive moods that may lead to conflict and arguments. Indeed where arguments develop there may be little restraint in what is said or done, and passions may blaze brightly over the merest of trifles. This will be especially so where there has been the consumption of alcohol and even moderate consumption is capable of producing quite definite mood altering properties.

All in all this represents a difficult and challenging Full Moon atmosphere that also has the potential to be emotionally rewarding for those able to balance its energies correctly.
