4th - 5th November 2007

The principal feature of this current alert is still the on going opposition between Uranus and the Moon. This has been influential for around 24 hours and its effects will not begin to diminish until around 12:00 Noon GMT (07:00 EDT) on the 5th of November.

As moods go Moon/Uranus alignments are amongst the top category of unsettling celestial events that need very careful handling. Likely traits include over excitable moods and feelings together with an emphasis on the very drastic and dramatic. Indeed Moon/Uranus alignments are often associated with particularly heinous acts of murder especially those that involve spontaneous acts of mass killings such as the Virginia Tech shootings earlier this year, or the murder of five Greek hunters in a field. Then there was the chilling case in Australia of two school girls murdering their best friend, because it suddenly seemed like the “right thing to do.”

This current Moon/Uranus opposition has already seen numerous acts of spontaneous violence including a crazed gunman in Italy who suddenly began shooting at passers by from his balcony, killing at least one individual.

From the above mentioned cases it is evident that the forces associated with Moon/Uranus alignments can often be extreme, and even more concerning is the fact that many, if not all of the cases outlined above were perpetrated by persons who had never been in trouble with the authorities and to all intents and purposes were just ordinary citizens who suddenly took it upon themselves to act in the most drastic of manners.

Moon/Uranus alignments are well known for their out of character moods and emotions that may involve bizarre, eccentric, extreme or perverse modes of behaviour and inclinations. These may easily lead to division or friction within the family setting and this whole period needs very careful handling.

It should be warned that the restless, changeable and unsettled moods of this time may be made even more difficult by the consumption of alcohol whose effects will currently be magnified. Indeed even moderate quantities of alcohol may lead to unpleasant changes of behaviour with the potential for nasty scenes and incidents.

Some measure of restrain has come from the influence of Saturn, with its more restrained and disciplined emotions that may limit the more extreme nature of Uranus. On the other hand there is the possibility for the extreme nature of Uranus to be channelled into more disciplined routes of behaviour, or cold blooded planning and machinations that could in effect render it even more dangerous.

The influence of Saturn can also lead to varying degrees of inhibition that may easily tend towards depression, melancholia, or low self esteem and poor self confidence. If so these are soon likely to wear off as the coming week will see the lead up to the next New Moon in just four or five days time. This will bring more zestful and enthusiastic moods, but will also increase the likelihood of tension and anxiety. However there will be more on this in future alerts.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 24% illuminated.
