24th - 25th January 2008

We are now just two or three days after the Full Moon and the mood continues to be tense and anxious with plenty of nervous restlessness. This could make it feel hard to settle, with poor concentration and reduced sense of focus.

A major contributory factor to this prolonged anxiety is likely to be the on going opposition between the Moon and both Mercury and Neptune which will be influential until around 16:00 GMT (11:00 EDT). This is creating highly sensitive moods and feelings with heightened awareness and perception, that for some may be just a little too much for comfort.

Under these circumstances fears and concerns will be exaggerated with notable apprehensions that in some cases will reach obsessional levels of attention. Added to this there may be forgetful and confused emotions with chaotic thoughts and trouble making up ones mind. There is also likely to be a reduced sense of responsibility with a loathing towards making important choices, that may not benefit from the best of consideration.

As with any immediate post Full Moon situation there will be the risk of contentious encounters with the potential for arguments and volatile exchanges. However this is not an overtly aggressive atmosphere, and although there is the risk of conflict or friction, the emphasis of this period will be more on the tenser elements of the mood spectrum.

On the more positive side this mood offers plenty of zestful energy for on going schemes and ventures though the problem is to find the necessary discipline to harness this correctly. For example tempting distractions could pose problems and ones routine of work may be interrupted, delayed or otherwise affected by escapist tendencies in their limitless forms.

Expressional and creative activities will benefit from a definite boost, though once again it will require extra determination to make the best of this opportunity. This period may also see an increase in eating or alcohol consumption, often as a means of taking the edge off what is a very alert and acute mood setting. If so then be warned that the effects of alcohol - and caffeine too - will be heightened at this time.

Mars remains at the peak of its alignment with Venus and for some days now this has led to a powerful polarisation of emotions disposed to strong affections with a heavy sensual element that may lead to very passionate moods and feelings. At times these may be excessively inclined and have the potential for unhappy emotional relationships, but on another level may prove beneficial in ensuring improved co-operation and understanding with others.

Once again it is the high degree of emotional energy that may prove difficult at this time and those vulnerable to sensitive and impressionable atmospheres may find this period challenging. In addition those susceptible to anxiety or panic attacks may feel uncomfortable with this current emotional climate, though towards the end of the week the intense atmosphere should diminish quite noticeably.

Alert is 8. Moon 96% illuminated.
