25th - 26th April 2008

The current emotional atmosphere is largely defined by two continuing long term oppositions. They are are opposition between Saturn and Neptune, and the opposition between Mars and Jupiter. These have been active for around three weeks now and have exerted a strong influence over moods and emotions.

In many respects the two above mentioned oppositions have completely contrasting traits. The Saturn/Neptune opposition may tend towards emotional frustration with confusion of thought and purpose as well as inhibited enthusiasm or creative ability. It can also give way to a neurotic worrying disposition and although amenable to sensitive and delicate emotions may also traslate this into mellow or melancholic moods with depressive inclinations and severe lack of confidence. Added to this there may be a deeply pessimistic outlook together with an easy sense of disappointment or disillusionment.

By contrast the traits of the Jupiter/Mars opposition incline more towards positive and dynamic thoughts and emotions. These may result in forceful and assertive attitudes with the risk of confrontation and arguments. Indeed where there is a source of contention events may easily sprial out of control with little restraint in what is said or done. In fact, as is often mentioned here the two planets have the dubious distinction of being known as the ‘planets of war.’ Read the rest of this entry »

24th - 25th April 2008

Feelings will still continue to experience heightened levels of tension and anxiety. In addition there is the likelihood of nervous restlessness with trouble in settling in what for many may turn out to be a frustrating emotional experience.

Vestiges of Full Moon emotions may still persist and although the Full Moon was around four days ago there is enough of its zestful energy to cause problems and anxiety. As a result it may feel easy to succumb to an atmosphere of subtle fears and concerns, where problems will seem magnified and solutions appear hard to come by.

To some extent there will be a loathing for responsibility and a shirking of important decisions that may be avoided if at all possible. In fact under these circumstances concentration will be far from optimal and choices will be made more from instinct rather than well reasoned thought and debate. A certain amount of mental confusion is to be expected along with forgetful episodes, or not quite feeling fully concentrated. As a result it may be difficult to gather ones thoughts and unless ones daily routine is of a highly repetitive nature it may seem harder to get going. Read the rest of this entry »

23rd - 24th April 2008

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.

22nd - 23rd April 2008

We are still only just a few days beyond the Full Moon and this means a continuation of the very heightened mood period that has characterised the last week or so. Even so we are currently heading for substantially less turbulent times and the end of the week should see a very different feel to the overall atmosphere.

For the moment however there is still a tendency to tense nervous restlessness with stretched moods and emotions that have the potential to cause an enormous amount of stress and anxiety. Once again there is also the possibility of increased levels of aggression with a poor sense of tolerance that with very little provocation may erupt into heated arguments or fits of temper. In addition there will be an inclination towards strong fears and concerns with chronic apprehension that may not easily be dispelled.

Under these circumstances problems will loom large, and it will be difficult to relax and take things easy. Not surprisingly there may be a strong temptation to want to take the edge off the atmosphere through either drugs or drink or indeed any one of a number of techniques and strategies that may be employed to reduce the impact of what is still a very powerful mood atmosphere.

21st - 22nd April 2008

We are now just a day after the Full Moon and this means that moods and emotions will still continue to suffer from tense nervous restlessness. In addition there may be notable fears and anxieties together with a certain amount of emotional frustration that could pose difficulties.

As frequent visitors to this site will know we have just come through a particularly intense period of celestial activity. This is finally beginning to dissipate and after the middle of the week this change should become even more apparent.

For the moment moods will continue to be influenced by typical Full Moon emotions. Inevitably this will entail heightened moods and feelings with a propensity towards energy filled activity. Some degree of aggression or assertiveness may be apparent and this may lead to simmering resentments, conflict or arguments. However this month the Full Moon is perhaps a little more restrained than usual and this is probably the influence of Saturn. Read the rest of this entry »
