This present mood alert differs only very slightly from the previous one issued 24 hours ago. This means a continuation of the tense and anxious conditions that result from the Uranus, Mercury, Venus, Earth alignment, as well as the now waning effects of the Full Moon of around 5 days ago.

In reality it is the effects of Uranus that exert the greatest influence over this current period. Any alignment of Uranus is bound to be disruptive and the current alignment with Mercury and Venus is no exception. Likely mood traits to result from this include strange, bizarre, or unusual emotions with the likelihood of out of character thoughts and behaviour. In extreme cases there may be a tendency to perverse actions with loose morals that may result in consequences that could be around for some time to come. This is also an alignment capable of causing turmoil within the family setting and may easily lead to splits within relationships, or serious rifts between partners and colleagues.

Under these circumstances there will be a definite tendency towards escapism and ones daily routine may be difficult to adhere to without the distracting influence of more instantly gratifying alternatives. Added to this there may be confused or chaotic thinking with poor concentration and this period will be prone to errors of judgement that could lead to large financial losses. The present emotional atmosphere will also see heightened nervous restlessness though this may be harnessed to good effect as it will be perfect for those in need of strong campaigning zeal, or indeed anyone in need of a stiff boost of energy.

As such this atmosphere will be ripe for those with a strong social message, or lofty aims and desires. However it should be warned that this current emotional environment may cause a serious drift from reality towards impractical thoughts and ideas, and for some there could be an unbeatable sensation of power with grandiose plans and imaginings. It can also inspire feelings of an hysterical or barely restrained nature and this means that parties and social occasions may see more boisterous activity than would normally be the case. In keeping with previous days, feelings of an aggressive or confrontational nature may be easily ignited and these will be especially likely where there is some perceived sense of injustice or unfair criticism, or occasions that may give rise to moral outrage.

More mundanely there may be an urge to argue even if only for the sake of it and this will be made all the more likely by the consumption of alcohol whose effects will be magnified, or made to seem all the more exaggerated.

It cannot be too highly emphasised that this atmosphere carries a considerable risk of turmoil with the potential for extreme events and happenings. Essentially it means that the perception of what is acceptable and normal may shift towards actions or activities that one may never previously have considered. On a more positive note this period offers a unique boost of energy that channelled correctly may lead to a rewarding and very satisfying sense of achievement.

Alert is 8. Moon 80% illuminated.
