We are now heading directly into one of the years most concentrated periods of planetary alignments, and this will bring a substantial change to the mood scene over the next few days.

Of special interest at this time is the impending New Moon on the 7th of March. Already its effects are beginning to make themselves felt and in the comings days this will lead to increased tension and anxiety with raised nervous restlessness. In addition there may be short tempered exchanges with the possibility of aggressive moods and feelings, together with simmering resentment and frustration even over the most mundane of matters.

Under these circumstances problems may seem magnified and there will be a propensity towards worry, needless fears and apprehension. These feelings will be further magnified by the continuing opposition between the Sun and Saturn. Although this alignment is now on the wane it still exerts influence and for three weeks has given a more subdued mood outlook that although bringing cool and disciplined feelings has also led to melancholic and depressive moods that may have been low on self confidence and enthusiasm.

Over the coming days the Sun/Saturn opposition will fade altogether, but will be replaced by the potentially disruptive alignment between the Sun and Uranus. More will be said on this in future alerts but essentially it means we are heading into a period of around ten days, that will be extremely high on intensity of emotion and harbour the potential for equally extreme moods and feelings.

As mentioned numerous times already we are also under the influence of the alignment between Mercury and Venus. This has been active for around ten days now and has lent itself to better disposed moods with more agreeable feelings as well as a better overall sense of balance that will have rendered the more depressive elements of Saturn a little more bearable.

The Venus/Mercury alignment is now joined by Neptune which will add extreme sensitivity to emotions particularly when this alignment comes to a peak over the next three or four days or so. This alignment will also result in intuitive and imaginative feelings with idealistic or over sentimental emotions that will be inclined towards a better overall sense of balance and harmony. Unfortunately it may also dispose towards confusion and disillusionment with a tendency to confused or chaotic thoughts and feelings.

It will be appreciated that we are now heading into a particularly complex period of celestial influence and the next week will be laden with challenging not to say stressful emotions that may easily tend to extremes. On the other hand those who are able to channel this energy into profitable activity may come to see it as a time of unique opportunity that may galvanise efforts in a way that may afterwards come to be seen as highly satisfying.
