31st May - 1st June 2008

We are now just two or three days short of the New Moon and this will inevitably result in increased tension and anxiety as well as heightened nervous restlessness.

As a result it may feel difficult to settle, with an atmosphere that may sometimes struggle to find any great sense of satisfaction. Consequently there may be notable frustrations and irritability and problems may acquire undue dimensions and weigh heavily on the mind. Under these circumstances petty animosities and resentments may flourish with the possibility of friction or mental agitation. Indeed there may - according to circumstances - be considerable aggression, anger, or turbulence, with the potential for volatile outbursts and even violence.

It should be noted that aggressive tendencies will be made all the more likely where there is the consumption of alcohol whose effects will now be magnified. In addition the tense nervous atmosphere is likely to induce some to drink more than usual, if only to take the edge off a very heightened mood setting.

This atmosphere may also give rise to raised sensitivities with an insecure or pessimistic outlook that may be low on self confidence or else prone to easy disappointment or discouragement. Paradoxically this will run in tandem to other more dynamic or ambitious inclinations that will however be moderated by this other more cautious, timid or restrained atmosphere.

The alignment between the Sun and Venus is now coming to a peak. This has been active now for just over ten days and has contributed more agreeable moods and emotions with a greater degree of sympathy and understanding. This alignment is also capable of generating strong feelings of affection and intimacy with romantic inclinations, that may be filled with amorous intentions. However there is a considerable risk of misdirected attentions with the possibility of disappointment or upset as well as acute embarrassment.

All in all this will not be the easiest of mood settings with the potential for frustration and low self esteem. Feelings may be in need of a boost and this will easily incline towards escapism in its limitless forms. Indeed there will be a definite urge towards variety and change with the emphasis on instant emotional rewards. As a result ones daily routine may suffer, as this will be a mood at variance with dull convention, responsibility, or making important decisions. Most of all it will suit an unhurried, sedate disposition that is able to place few demands on ones time and efforts and is just happy to take things as they come.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 17% illuminated.
