The influence of Uranus is now particularly strong and this will mean a period of moods and emotions that may deviate strongly from the norm. As a result there may be bizarre, eccentric, unusual, or even perverse moods and feelings, with out of character thoughts and actions and a tendency towards intensely escapist inclinations.

As we are also in the immediate lead up to the next Full Moon there may be increased nervous restlessness with unstable, rebellious, or extreme mood influences that for some will approach crisis level. This could place particular strain on domestic harmony and there is the possibility of particularly fierce outbursts of temper and anger.

This mood is made to feel all the more intense by the alignment between Venus, Mercury and Mars. The influence of Mars will heighten all Full Moon attributes with increased passion and aggression as well as confrontational and argumentative attitudes. At the same time Mercury will heighten energy and enthusiasm, which combined with the more agreeable and harmonious nature of Venus will make for an interesting and complex combination of emotions. Here the more affectionate and sympathetic tones of Venus will vie with the aggressive passion of Mars whilst the more unpredictable nature of Uranus, mentioned above, will ensure that whatever else the present mood may hold it will not be short of incident and intense emotions.

Coming days will see yet further heightening in the intensity of moods and feelings and as the Full Moon on the 15th will also coincide with an alignment between the Moon and Uranus (a planet renowned for its deeply unsettling moods) this will be a particularly challenging emotional period. In fact it cannot be too highly stressed that this coming period of the next three of four days may represent a test for even the stoutest of emotional characters and that tight discipline and balance will be needed to avoid making the circumstances even more of a trial than they already are.
