This still continues to be a substantially heightened mood atmosphere but with quite noticeable signs of a more tranquil emotional setting that is now on the way.

As it is we are now just three days beyond the Full Moon and its effects still continue to make themselves known. Consequently there is the likelihood of tense nervous restlessness with trouble in settling, together with frustrating, or turbulent emotions that for some will have the potential to become highly challenging.

Under the circumstances it may feel harder to get going with reduced enthusiasm or sense or determination. Here the paradox is that although there will be a definite drive and the imagination to spark fresh new ideas and ventures there will also be a sizeable degree of hesitance, doubt and indecision. As well as lowered self confidence this may also lead to an easy sense of disappointment and disillusionment, or an attitude that will see problems rather than solutions. Similarly this may be a period prone to fears and concerns with apprehensions and worries that will not easily be dispelled. In effect we are describing a difficult and awkward mood period that will struggle to offer any great satisfaction or feeling of fulfilment and there may be a struggle to stay cheerful.

Those on a tight deadline may find this period to be especially stressful and there may be a struggle to complete even ones basic daily routine. By contrast there will be a strong attraction for escapist pursuits and at its most obvious this may mean a strong temptation to drink or eat more than usual, or else resort to retail therapy as a means of relieving some of the stronger elements of this current alert pattern.

The last few hours have seen a sudden upsurge in geomagnetic activity following strong Solar winds that are now buffeting the planet. It is our contention that this can result in very definite physical and emotional implications. These may take the form of increased irritability and tetchiness, with impatient or nervous restlessness that will make it difficult to settle or feel at ease. Physical symptoms may include sudden nausea, dizziness, palpitations, or feeling unwell for no particular reason. There may also be neuralgic complaints along with a disposition to headaches and toothache or a tendency to feeling washed out and exhausted. As on other occasions we should point out that if these symptoms relate to increased geomagnetic activity they will be of short duration only and if persisting for longer than a few days are likely to be of some other origin.

Even without the highly stressful atmosphere of the last few days this is far from being a pleasant emotional setting. It has also lost something of the zest of previous days and this will make it harder to find the same degree of drive and enthusiasm. Under these circumstances happy will be those who are able to take things easy, placing few demands on their time and efforts and able to amble on at an unhurried pace.
