One of the principal features of this current alert pattern is the alignment of the Moon and Jupiter. The pair will stay conjunct until around 05:00 GMT, or 01:00 EDT and likely mood traits involve an improved sense of optimism and enthusiasm as well as a better homoured, fun loving and more generous disposition. On the other hand this alignment can give way to exaggerated or extravagant gestures with unstable moods and feelings along with a recklessly inclined attitude that may be prone to mishaps or large financial expenditure and losses.

The alignment between Venus, Mercury and Mars is now at its peak and this is contributing to an energetic, passion filled mood setting with heightened awareness and perception, together with more agreeable, affectionate and sociable feelings. However this is a mood where differences between people will be highlighted to produce a strained and sometimes volatile mood atmosphere. On the other hand feelings of strong friendship may grow even stronger and this will be a mood pattern that sharpens all existing feelings to a considerable extent.

On of the more positive side this mood may inspire feelings of enterprise and initiative with constructive, incisive, and forthright actions. However there may also be a tendency towards reckless, indisciplined emptions that may act without giving thought for the consequences.

The Sun is still in opposition to Uranus and this is producing powerfully unconventional moods and feelings with traits that dispose towards, bizarre, eccentric or even perverse modes of behaviour with unconventional values and inclinations. There may also be a strong element of escapism that could prove distracting and it may seem harder to keep to the task in hand.

Coming days will see a gradual increase in tensions and anxiety as we move closer to the Full Moon with the likelihood of irritability, turmoil, and easily aroused passions. Conversely there may be plenty of forceful energy that will come as a boost to on going schemes and ventures though finding the concentration or discipline to make the best of this atmosphere may not be easy.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 70% illuminated.
