The Sun is still very much at the peak of its alignment with Neptune and this is retaining a series of days that sees heightened moods and emotions with extra sensitivity, awareness and perception. In addition there are likely to be powerful self refining impulses that may seek to put right those areas of ones life that may be less than desirable.

The Sun/Mercury alignment can also result in impressionable, refined and highly intuitive emotions that in some cases may verge of the psychic. Indeed this mood harbours the potential for enhanced mystical or spiritual insight that may, whether consciously or subconsciously, open up inner pathways to broader dimensions of awareness and insight. On the other hand this same alignment is capable of strong escapist tendencies so that ones routine may be subject to delays and distractions as their will be a considerable attraction for other more exciting alternatives.

Saturn and Venus are almost at the peak of their fast moving alignment and likely mood traits to result from this include limited or disciplined emotions with cool affections. At the same time this alignment may dispose to exacting emotions with an easy sense of disappointment or feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Altogether harsher and more powerful emotions will come from the on going opposition between Mars and Uranus. For some weeks now this has lead to energetic and enterprising moods and feelings with a strong self willed emotions that have the potential to deviate quite noticeably from ones normal character and behaviour. As well as anything this can result in erratic, rebellious and excitable moods that may be filled with strong ideas, urges and impressions, but not necessarily the initiative to act on these impulses. Either way it is certain that many may become acquainted with thoughts and sensations that may be very different to their usual self and while this may be disturbing it can also lead to an altered state of natural consciousness that may offer beneficial ideas for future schemes and ventures.

Another important feature of the last few days is a raised Solar wind stream that is buffeting the planets atmosphere. As well as creating attractive display of the Northern Lights we believe this can also result in quite definite physical and mental effects. These may involve sudden nausea, dizziness, or bouts of palpitations, or just generally feeling unwell for no apparent reason. Neuralgic pains are also possible and so too are sudden headaches and toothache.

Psychologically an increased Solar wind stream may result in forgetfulness, or absent-minded behaviour with degrees of irritability, confusion or chaos. For some however there may be sudden lethargy along with feeling washed out and exhausted for no apparent reason. In this connection it is important to state, that if connected to increased geomagnetic activity these symptoms will be of short duration only, and if persisting for longer than a few days are likely to be of some other origin.

Coming days should see a change to a mood of extra zest and urgency, not to mention tension and anxiety as we begin the rise to the next Full Moon in around five or six days time. At the same time there may be energetic and idea filled impulses with a better sense of encouragement and enthusiasm.
