14th - 15th March 2008

Today sees a phase of the Moon that is habitually associated with fairly sedate moods and feelings with no great highs or lows. However, while certain elements of such an atmosphere may well exist at this time, this is far from being the traditional ‘doldrums’ atmosphere as we often refer to it. The reason for this is the continued influence of numerous major planetary alignments that will ensure a period of complex moods and feelings that are outlined below.

A particularly welcome development for some is the fast diminishing influence of the alignment between the Sun and Uranus. For close on two weeks this has brought an atmosphere of extreme moods and exacting feelings that some will have found especially distressing. On the other hand others may have found its galvanic energy great for on going schemes and ventures. Either way this alignment is quickly losing effect and will fade considerably within the next few days.

One of the principal features of this current alert is the alignment between the Moon and Mars. This will start to become effective from around 18:00 GMT (13:00 EDT) and will remain so until around 13:00 GMT (08:00 EDT) on the 15th of March.

As far as likely mood effects go this alignment is bound to raise tension and anxiety and even though the restraining effects of other elements will mitigate against it becoming too extreme passions may run high with a keen sense of like and dislike. In addition there is the potential for contentious encounters and sharpened moods that may be low in tolerance and understanding. Nevertheless this will instil a dynamic and energetic attitude and will have the advantage of preventing other aspects of this alert from becoming too depressive.

Saturn still remains very much in opposition to both Venus and Mercury and this will mean limited, restrained or coolly regulated moods and feelings. Although this will have the benefit of more calculated and logical actions there will also be a tendency towards pessimism and melancholia, not to mention depression or lowered self confidence. However, as mentioned above the actions of Mars in alignment with the Moon will prevent these feelings from becoming too entrenched and overall it will be the more dynamic nature of the Moon and Mars that will have the greater influence during this current alert period.

Venus and Mercury still remain very much aligned and as on previous days will bring a degree of more cheerful moods and feelings along with a disposition to charm and gentleness.

It will be appreciated that this current alert period is filled with contrasting elements that in some respects will tend to cancel each other out. The result may be an atmosphere of rather more relaxed feelings than of late, but with the chance that according to personal circumstances, one or other, of the more unpleasant mood traits of this time may suddenly thrust their way into sharper prominence.

Alert is 7. Moon 50% illuminated.
