With just over a day to go before the New Moon moods and emotions are likely to be tense and on edge. In addition there is likely to be raised nervous restlessness with the possibility of intense apprehension, including increased fears and concerns.

Under these circumstances problems will be magnified and seem to take on undue proportions. At the same time it may feel hard to concentrate and daily tasks may seem even more tedious than usual. As a result there may be a yearning for change or feelings of an escapist nature, or just simply a strong desire to take the edge off the atmosphere by perhaps eating or drinking more than usual.

Some may encounter feelings of unease or not quite feeling themselves, with indistinct sensations or impressions that may cause concern. Alcohol consumption may also lead to the release of intense emotions or strongly passionate feelings and this may lead to friction within the family setting.

As with an pre New Moon setting there is the potential for irritable moods and emotions made doubly powerful by the alignment of Mars and Jupiter. As well as aggressive moods and emotions there may also be strong willed egotistical expression or feelings of superiority that may not respond well to challenges that may dent this impression. Criticism will be especially stinging and hard to take as personal sensitivities will be very heightened.

Currently the Earth’s atmosphere is being buffeted by a high speed Solar wind stream that is leading to moderate geomagnetic activity. In turn this may lead to indistinct symptoms of a physical or emotional nature. For example there may be a sudden feeling of not quite feeling well with indistinct symptoms and sensations that may include nausea, dizziness, palpitations or neuralgic aches and pains.

Emotionally this may manifest as anxious and restless moods and feelings with irritability and touchiness, and acute sensitivity. Those prone to panic attacks may be vulnerable at this time, and the next few days may prove to be something of a challenge.

It should be noted that any physical symptoms that may derive from increased geomagnetic activity are usually of short duration only, and if persisting for more than a few days are likely to be of some other origin.

For some this period may be of such intensity that it brings them close to crisis point, at the very limits of what they feel they can stand. If so then be assured this is a temporary development and like all celestially induced moods will be of short duration only.

Alert is 8. Moon 4% illuminated.
