29th - 30th August 2008

For reasons that were beyond our control it was not possible to publish yesterday’s alert bulletin though a copy of it can now be seen below.

Today’s alert bulletin.

We are now just over a day away from the New Moon which this month occurs on August 30th at 19:59 GMT, or 14:59 EDT. As a result moods and emotions will be tense and nervy with heightened awareness and perception that some may find disturbing.

This month the New Moon is rendered all the more powerful by numerous planetary alignments in which the highly unsettling effects of Uranus are very strongly indicated.

Other than the impending New Moon the most prominent feature of this current alert period is the alignment between the Sun and Saturn, both of whom are in opposition to Uranus. Likely mood traits to result from this include reserved, disciplined and limited emotional expression, with a tendency to hesitant, shy, or unsure feelings with low self confidence and pessimism. In addition to this there may be a worrying and apprehensive attitude that may see problems rather than solutions, so that any difficulties will tend to be unduly magnified.

Under these circumstances some may experience bouts of depression or insecurity with a lack of resolve and diffidence that could put off making important decisions and choices. Some may also suffer from melancholia or a defeatist attitude that may be hard to avoid. The influence of Uranus in this alignment means there will be emotions that deviate strongly from the norm with rebellious or unstable moods along with a tendency towards drastic or dramatic solutions to even the most trivial of problems.

While it is certainly true that the effects of Saturn may mitigate against the extremes possible from Uranus this still remains a mood situation prone to highly volatile moods and feelings with the potential for intense and unsettling emotions.

The general sensitivity of emotions will be heightened even further by the opposition between the Moon and Neptune. As well as extremely sensitive feelings this is likely to create a confused or chaotic disposition in which it may not be easy to make up ones mind with a bewildering array of thoughts and sensations that could prove annoying and exhausting.

The coming few days should see escapist tendencies well to the fore and it will be far from easy to concentrate on the task in hand. This means that ones daily routine may be subject to considerable disruption with distracting influences that may be hard to ignore.

Mercury and Venus still remain in alignment and the pair are also in opposition to Uranus. So far as moods are concerned this will lend a degree of affection and understanding to the overall atmosphere with energetically inclined activity that despite difficulties with concentration should prove a boost to on going schemes and ventures particularly where these concern activities of an artistic or creative nature. On the other hand the effects of Uranus will once again heighten proclivities towards bizarre, eccentric and even perverse modes of behaviour with out of character thoughts and deeds that may store up consequences for a long time to come.

In summary this is an extremely tense and nervous atmosphere that some will find difficult to deal with. Not only is it filled with dynamic zestful energy but there is also a substantial degree of doubt and insecurity together with a bewildering mix of confusion that will leave many feeling that they simply can’t think straight. However like all mood atmospheres this one will soon dissipate, though the next few days should see particularly heightened and even extreme mood conditions.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 2% illuminated.
