This is still very much an atmosphere that falls under the Full Moon influence. As a result moods and emotions will be tense and on edge with heightened nervous restlessness. In addition there will be anxious and apprehensive moods and feelings with strong fears and concerns that for some may turn to panic or emotional turmoil.

As with any Full Moon situation there is a strong possibility of aggression and conflict with easily raised passions that may spill over into violence. This may cause friction within the family setting and where arguments develop there may be little restraint in what is said or done. Indeed this atmosphere harbours the potential for considerable animosity and the likelihood of volatile expression. This will be especially so where there is the consumption of alcohol as its effects will be magnified and even moderate quantities may lead to unpleasant circumstances.

The reality is that this atmosphere will easily tend towards extremes, with a high degree of zestful energy that will heighten prevailing moods and feelings. For example where there is a happy and joyful atmosphere this will be raised still further, and vice versa where there are feelings of doubt, insecurity, or resentment these too will be emphasised. The problem is that under these circumstances even the most convivial of settings may suddenly turn sour, as the dividing line between a good time and more contentious or argumentative feelings is now very thin indeed.

Fortunately the harsher side of the Full Moon atmosphere will see some restraint from the opposition between Saturn and Mercury and Venus. Active for very nearly two weeks now, this alignment is now at a peak. Likely mood traits include more balanced, calculating, and restrained emotions together with a degree of much needed discipline and control. Less attractive is the propensity for this alignment to create feelings of doubt and lack of confidence that may easily translate into an easy sense of disappointment or disillusionment.

The influence of Saturn also includes the potential for depression and melancholia, though other aspects of this alert should prevent this from becoming too severe. Mercury and Venus still remain very closely aligned and for over three weeks this has brought more agreeable and good-natured feelings to what may otherwise have been a much harsher mood scene. As well as anything this will have contributed to a greater degree of personal understanding and co-operation with others, as well as moods of an altogether more gentle and softer nature.

Once again this is a highly complex mood scene with the potential for very strong and challenging emotions. On the other hand this mood provides a highly receptive and impressionable atmosphere with intense emotional and nervous energy. This will help to absorb and channel ideas and feelings into a new or refreshed outlook that may be of fundamental importance in reshaping ones life towards a more productive or meaningful direction.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 100% illuminated.
