With the Full Moon just over three or four days away there is likely to be a rise in anxiety and tension with increased nervous restlessness.

This month the effects of the Full Moon are also likely to be heightened and otherwise modified by the continuing influence of numerous potent planetary alignments. Certain to say however that the next three or four days will be filled with challenging moods and feelings that some could find especially difficult to cope with.

One of the prime alignments of this period features Saturn, Mercury and Venus in a complex combination of clashing emotions that will see strong reserve and inhibition with depressive and melancholic emotions contrasted by a more agreeable, affectionate, intimate, and harmonious disposition. Effectively this means there will be cool calculating, deliberate and logical mood patterns, contrasted by other more erratic emotions that may verge to bizarre, extreme or even perverse modes of behaviour.

The out of character emotions mentioned above may be particularly inspired by the continuing opposition between Mars and Uranus whose other traits include rebellious, over excitable and self willed inclinations with strong moods and feelings including disruptive, violent and confrontational behaviour.

More delicate and refined emotions, albeit of a sensitive and vulnerable nature may derive from the on going alignment between the Sun and Neptune. As we have mentioned numerous times already, this will lead to enhanced perception and intuition with an almost psychic degree of awareness. In turn this disposes well to self refining thoughts and ideas as well as increased mystical, and spiritual insight. Under these circumstances creative and expressional abilities will be improved and artists may find this period to be laden with renewed vigour and inspiration.

All in all this is a highly complex and at times bewildering mood atmosphere that may be subject to strong passions and mood swings. As mentioned above this may lead to highly erratic behaviour with escapist tendencies that will be a firm distraction to a well ordered routine. Added to this there may be a tendency to want to drink or eat more than normal with a restless and energetic outlook that will not be easily contained.
