The present emotional atmosphere is still likely to be filled with tense nervous restlessness that could make it difficult to settle.

As a result there may be a gripping sense of urgency and impatience to get things done. There may also be anxious, unsettled or erratic emotions filled with petty frustrations and irritating incidents that will add further annoyance to an already charged atmosphere. Feelings may be very much on edge with a sensitive, and vulnerable edge to them that will contribute yet further to an already delicate mood atmosphere.

At its most extreme this will result in a highly strung or agitated emotions prone to significant episodes of anxiety. At the lower end of the scale it may simply mean energetic and restless emotions that will suit physical pursuits rather than those requiring a high degree of cerebral input.

Under these circumstances concentration will be far from optimal and decisions will be reached more through instinct rather than well reasoned thought and debate. In fact there may be a noticeable degree of reluctance towards situations of responsibility or authority and self confidence may be lower than usual. Consequently there may be plenty of mistakes and accidents and ones sense of focus may easily be distracted.

As mentioned earlier this is a highly sensitive atmosphere and may easily give way to feelings of melancholia or depression or the idea that one may not be coping as well as usual. Not surprisingly there may be a poor sense of satisfaction with ones efforts and as well as being deflating this may give way to a strong desire for escapism in its limitless forms. In addition there may be a particular desire to drink more than usual and this will add further to the tendency that may shirk responsibility or else do the bare minimum that may be required.

Once again this may be a mood where fears and apprehensions take strong root so that problems will be magnified and made to seem more acute than they really are.

This may not be the easiest of emotional atmospheres. However with careful management some advantages may become apparent. For example there may be a strong nervous restlessness that may give a boost to tasks requiring physical effort. On the other hand it may not be easy to feel settled and for yet one more occasion this will suit those able to take things at their own pace and rhythm and pleased to place few demands on their time and efforts.
