Just a day after the Full Moon and moods continue to be heightened with increased nervous restlessness, anxiety and tension. This comes at a time of very complex celestial activity which peaks in the next 24 hours with a five way alignment between the Moon, Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars.

As with any immediate post Full Moon atmosphere there is bound to be a tendency towards aggressive or belligerent moods with the potential for arguments, conflict and agitated emotions. These will be made all the sharper through the continuing opposition between the Sun and Uranus, and also the actions of Mars as it aligns with the Moon during the course of the next 24 hours.

Moods associated with Uranus include actions and emotions that show a strong deviation from the norm, together with out of character thoughts and feelings. These may tend towards bizarre, unusual or even a perverse sense of tastes and values, and it may not be easy to maintain a balanced and ordered sense of perspective.

Under these circumstances ones judgement may be subject to erratic and unstable choices, with the potential for large expenditure or spontaneous and ill advised actions that may lead to accidents and mishaps. Similarly there may be an over sensitive reaction to even trivial problems with the possibility of drastic and even violent solutions to even moderate provocation.

Some measure of balance will come from the continuing alignment between Mercury, Venus, and Mars. This may instil a greater degree of friendship and camaraderie, with more affectionate, understanding and sympathetic feelings that will at least ensure that the harsher elements of this alert pattern do not become too extreme.

One aspect of this mood pattern that may be immediately apparent is the greater than normal degree of zestful energy. This may instil an energetic and enterprising sense of demeanour with a positive sense of enthusiasm that may bring a brisk and optimistic attitude to on going tasks and ventures. Naturally this will be balanced by the other factors mentioned above but some may find a galvanic extent of energy that will be of welcome benefit to achieve and accomplish more than they normally would. On the other hand concentration will be far from optimal and will be subject to powerful distractions of an escapist nature. Because of this physical activities may be preferred over those requiring a high degree of mental dexterity.

All in all this is a highly complex emotional scenario with strong energy and zestfulness that for some may translate into an equally powerful degree of stress and anxiety. Provided however this energy is utilised in a balanced manner then there is every chance that this period can turn into a rewarding experience with a high degree of personal satisfaction.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 98% illuminated.
