22nd - 23rd February 2008

We are now a day or two beyond the Full Moon and its effects still continue to be strongly felt. These will tend towards tense nervous restlessness with increased anxiety and apprehension. In addition there will be a propensity towards more aggressive or bellicose feelings that could result in arguments or volatile moods and expression. Similarly there may be confrontational attitudes with simmering resentments along with a strong willed behaviour that will respond in a robust manner to any perceived injustice or criticism.

Another prime feature of this current period is the opposition between the Moon and Uranus. Frequent visitors to this site will know that Moon/Uranus alignments are amongst the most unsettling of routine Lunar alignments and although this is not a direct alignment, but an opposition the force of Uranus will still be very apparent. This will be for very changeable, restless, and highly strung feelings with a tendency to eccentric or out of character moods and behaviour that in some cases may exact heavy consequences that will be around for some time to come. Because this alignment can invite over excitable behaviour it can easily result in severe disruption to family life with an emphasis on the drastic or highly dramatic.

Fortunately some measure of restraint may come from the alignment between the Sun and Saturn. This has been active for close on a week now and will remain influential for several weeks longer. Likely mood traits include powerful self disciplinary patterns with a cool and calculating attitude together with a practical, realistic and resourceful outlook. However this alignment can also incline towards limited enthusiasm and inspiration with feelings of melancholia and depression. It can also invite fears and phobias and create conditions of chronic ill health.

On a more favourable note Venus and Mercury are now coming into alignment and will remain so until the first week in April. With regard to moods this may result in powerful mental and nervous activity with a stimulation of the senses towards gentler or more agreeable feelings as well as a greater prospect for harmonious expression. As such this will be a welcome planetary addition that will help - as in this present situation - to prevent more potent forces from becoming too extreme or entrenched.

Once again this is a complex mood situation with forceful and zestful energy balanced by that of a considerably more sedate and limiting nature. To some extent these feelings may tend to cancel each other out, but the effects of Uranus means this will be an atmosphere that will always be vulnerable to extreme of thoughts and attitude that may at any moment unexpectedly thrust themselves into prominence.

Alert is 8. Moon 98% illuminated.
