Although the atmosphere is noticeably less strained than only a few days ago there is still need to be wary.

We are now just several days after the Full Moon and its effects are still very evident. In addition we are still under the influence of a massive planetary alignment involving the Sun, Jupiter, Pluto, Earth and Mars.

With regards to moods this continues with a period of very heightened emotions that may swiftly alternate between one thing and another. As with any Full Moon setting there may be feelings of aggression with argumentative attitudes, flashes of temper and irritable outbursts.

As with previous days some measure of balance and restraint will come from the alignment of the Sun and Jupiter. This may instil a better sense of balance with expansive, optimistic, and good humoured gestures with a generous and sympathetic disposition. On the other hand it may also incline towards exaggerated or extravagant behaviour with careless or unstable emotions. This may also involve serious misjudgements or unnecessary risks and a false sense of superiority. Jupiter is also in opposition to Mars which has heightened the already strident qualities of the Full Moon to produce forceful and restless emotions together with a zestful enthusiasm for on going schemes and ventures.

We must not forget that Saturn still remains in opposition to Uranus and will remain so until February of next year. Likely mood traits to result from this include feelings that alternate from ambitious hard edged emotions, with a cruel and ruthless disposition, to ones of a considerably more depressive or doubtful nature that may impose a restricted or limited outlook with poor self confidence.

To a certain extent these feelings have been blanketed by the recent Full Moon but coming days should see rather more of their evidence, even though the brighter disposition of Jupiter will act as a significant bulwark against their harshest traits.

Coming days will see a general climb down from the high moods and emotions of previous days with more easy going emotions. However this will still continue to be a highly complex emotional situation that will persist until around the middle of next week.
