Today’s alert differs only very slightly from the previous day, wit the emphasis on acute emotional sensitivity together with increased awareness and perception.

Another principal feature of this alert pattern is the influence of Saturn which is still in opposition to Venus, Mercury and Neptune. This is likely to give rise to hesitant, cautious and unsure thoughts and emotions, and while these may instil a degree of control and discipline they will also give rise to rigid or limited moods and feelings.

Moods may also be laden with pessimism and low on self confidence and for some this may translate into a bleak view of the future, with a depressive emotions that may touch on isolation or despair. In turn this may give way to exacting or difficult feelings with a tendency towards loneliness or feeling that events may be passing you by.

The Sun is still in alignment with Uranus and this is likely to maintain an intense feeling of escapism that has been with us since this alignment first became influential just over a week ago. Frequent visitors to this site will also be aware of the highly unsettling nature of this alignment with its tendency towards extremes of thought and action, and the likelihood of dramatic or drastic events that may lead to argumentative or rebellious behaviour and the risk of upheaval within the family setting.

The Sun/Uranus alignment is also capable of causing strange, bizarre, or out of character moods and emotions that may deviate very strongly from ones normal behaviour and could later be the cause of some considerable embarrassment or carry consequences of a lasting nature.

Fortunately some measure of control and balance will come from the above mentioned influence of Saturn, but also the on going alignment between Mercury and Venus which lasts until the first week in April. Likely mood traits to emanate from this include feelings of charm and gentleness with a more harmonious and agreeable disposition.

In reality the complex mixture of the above mentioned factors means that moods will tend to clash with one another and cancel each other out, though in the appropriate circumstances any of the earlier mentioned traits may come to predominate. On the whole however it may be the more reserved and hesitant nature of Saturn that comes to the fore, and this may cause explosive frustration fuelled by the extreme nature of Uranus. This will be especially likely where there is the consumption of alcohol as the repressed nature of this atmosphere may suddenly turn volatile with the liberating effects of drink.

Once again this is not the easiest of mood atmospheres and for some it will still constitute a time of the greatest challenge. In addition there may be a strong desire for change and where the means exist this change may be of a major variety. However it would be wiser that before making life changing decisions that ones feelings are checked against an atmosphere that is not so emotionally laden.
