Just a few days to go before the Full Moon and moods and emotions are correspondingly heightened and on edge. This means a high degree of nervous restlessness with impatient and hasty emotions. It may also feel harder to get going and concentration will be far from optimal so that decisions may tend to be made impulsively or from instinct rather than well reasoned thought and action.

As with any Full Moon atmosphere there may be a tendency towards brash or aggressive gestures, with argumentative behaviour that may ignite conflict even if only for the sake of it.

Under these circumstances arguments may start over the most trivial of reasons and there may be little restraint in what is said or done. Problems and concerns may loom large and any difficulties may seem magnified. In addition there may be generalised fears and apprehensions with strong concerns or unnecessary worrying even over the most mundane of matters.

It should be warned that even moderate quantities of caffeine may tend to exaggerate these fears and contribute yet further to what is already a mood over laden with anxious and volatile emotions. Similarly the effects of alcohol may also tend to be magnified and although there is the possibility of good fun and entertainment the precariously balanced nature of this atmosphere means that even the most convivial of occasions may swiftly turn sour.

Escapist tendencies may be well to the fore and this may be to the detriment of ones normal routine as more attractive alternatives will prove more than usually tempting.

The high Solar wind stream of previous days has now begun to diminish and for some this may have contributed to a general depletion of energy with poor focus and concentration.

Coming days will see a further increase in general tensions and anxiety, particularly the 23rd of November which sees the Moon in opposition to Mercury. This will contribute yet further to raised moods and emotions and for some this period may become a time of great personal challenge, short lived though it is.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 90% illuminated.
