Yet again we find ourselves in a mood atmosphere that differs very little from that of 24 hours ago. Hence moods and emotions will have a consistent feel to them, although this is far from implying that this is an easy going atmosphere.

With regards to moods and feelings this period is heavily conditioned by two major alignments that frequent visitors to this page will already be quite familiar with.

The Sun/Saturn opposition, which has been active over the last few weeks is now just past its peak. Even so the alignment still remains influential with the likelihood of cool and calculating emotions along with the possibility of a reserved and cautious attitude. However this alignment can all too easily result in lowered self confidence, pessimism, melancholia and depression. In addition it may also invite a variety of general fears and phobias and create conditions that may be ripe for chronic ill health.

The alignment between Mercury and Venus is now coming to a peak. This has now been active for around a week and likely mood traits may incline towards feelings of charm and gentleness, along with a more agreeable and harmonious disposition as well as better inclined expressional abilities. However this alignment can also stimulate powerful mental and nervous activity with heightened moods and feelings that occasionally may just be a little too strong for comfort.

Venus and Mercury are also two of the closest planets to the Earth, hence their energy will be all the greater. Sometimes when this is the case the characteristic traits of each individual planet, which in this case should produce more agreeable emotions, are offset by a more generalised burst of zest and energy that can incline towards a more aggressive side of the emotional spectrum. As well as anything this can produce simmering resentments, anger, or feelings of hostility or superiority.

In the next few days we shall be entering a period where the phase of the Moon will be conducive to calmer and more tranquil emotions, although this may be at the expense of some melancholia and depression. This period may also result in lowered enthusiasm and inspiration with extra discipline and motivation required to perform one daily routine of work.
