20th - 21st March 2008 - Extreme moods possible.

Happy Equinox.

Today is the day of the Vernal Equinox, which is the moment when the Sun is positioned directly over the Earth’s equator. Many believe this carries its own separate tensions and anxieties, but also advantages, and other psychological effects that this year will be all the more heightened by numerous other celestial factors that make this a highly complex period of moods and emotions.

Perhaps the main factor at this time is the impending Full Moon which is now only hours away, occurring precisely on March 21st at 18:40 GMT, or 13:40 EDT. Inevitably this will give rise to tense and anxious conditions with a high degree of nervous restlessness. Similarly there will be a noticeable increase in aggression and irritability with the likelihood of arguments, rebellious tendencies as well as volatile expression, simmering resentments, and the potential for violent outbursts. It should be warned that these traits will be made all the more likely where there is the consumption of alcohol as its effects will be heightened at this time.

Under these circumstances problems will loom large along with a tendency to worry and apprehension, with fears and concerns even over the most trivial of matters. Essentially it means that those with a sensitive nature may find this period to be extremely challenging with difficult and trying emotions, and those vulnerable to panic attacks will also find this to be a testing time.

The overall mood situation is currently made even more volatile by the opposition of the Moon with Uranus. As frequent visitors to this site will know, Moon/Uranus alignments are always times of extremely heightened tensions, and this one is made all the more potent by the factors already mentioned above. Likely mood traits include a tendency towards drastic, dramatic or extreme events and happenings with the possibility of intense emotions and upheaval within the family setting. This alignment also disposes to strange and bizarre moods and behaviour with out of character thoughts and actions that may later give cause for considerable embarrassment. The Moon/Uranus opposition last up until around 13:00 GMT (08:00 EDT) on the 21st of March.

Some measure of restraint is likely to come from the on going opposition between Saturn and Venus and Mercury. So far as moods are concerned this is likely to result in more restrained and disciplined feelings with ordered and more balanced feelings. Obviously this will have to contend with the more wayward feelings mentioned above, but Saturn will at least exert some control over what are particularly intense emotions. Unfortunately the effects of Saturn may also tend to low self confidence and esteem with the possibility of isolation and loneliness, as well as feelings that may tend towards depression or melancholia. Similarly there may be a pessimistic outlook, but once again this will be contrasted by other factors of this alert that add zest and enthusiasm to the emotional spectrum.

Some much needed optimism may come from the on going alignment between Mercury and Venus. This will add happier and more agreeable feelings with a greater degree of understanding and co-operation with others.

All in all this is a highly complex mood setting with contrasting emotions that may tend to cancel each other out. However there is no avoiding the fact that for some this will be an intensely difficult period.

On a more cheerful note this atmosphere offers plenty of nervous and emotional energy for on going schemes and ventures. This will be particularly apparent where interests concern activities of an ideological, or humanitarian nature as the urge to achieve justice or a better future will be particularly strong. In the same way there may be a powerful impetus and motivation for all tasks and ventures, as well as the initiative to change ones entire course of direction. It shows that although this period may be fraught with difficult emotions it also presents on opportunity that by means of balanced interests one can not only negotiate this period with success, but become all the stronger for it.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 98% illuminated.
