24th - 25th December 2008

We are now in one of the most delicate mood periods of the year. The proximity of Christmas together with the Solstice of only a few days ago, together with the fact that the Sun now appears to a background of our Galaxy, the Milky Way mean a time of the utmost sensitivity.

As we have mentioned many times already it was likely that this period of emotional vulnerability is probably the reason that since very earliest times this part of the year was given over to wild celebrations and festivities upon which the modern Christmas was superimposed.

The simple fact is that for various reasons, either through distorted cosmic radiation levels, geomagnetic activity, or the fact that in the northern hemisphere this is the darkest part of the year, sensitivities are often stretched to their limits. In turn this manifests in extremes of attitude and behaviour with changeable moods that can be unsettling. It means that this is a period that needs the utmost care and attention especially since ironically this is a time of year that is supposed to be associated with good will to everyone.

This year the Christmas period is also conditioned by the growing aggression associated with the coming New Moon, and also the continuing but waning influence of the Sun/Mars alignment. Another important factor of this current period is the short but influential alignment between Venus and Neptune. Likely traits to result from this include refined, delicate and confused feelings. Added to this there may be idealistic, sentimental and highly emotional feelings that will effortlessly assimilate into the Christmas atmosphere.

All in all this period constitutes a typical end of year scenario where feelings seem more urgent and compelling and a tolerant attitude can reap rich dividends.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 11% illuminated.
