The present alert pattern shows very little difference to that of just 24 hours ago. Essentially this means a tense and anxious immediate post New Moon period with definite anxieties that will be exaggerated by numerous planetary alignments. These include the alignment of Mercury and Jupiter that will add enhanced awareness, perception, as well as a more zestful atmosphere.

The down side to this is that there may be a worrying and apprehensive disposition with agitated, turbulent or confused emotions that may not easily be pacified.

The effects of the Venus/Neptune alignment will mean a better sense of values with refined tastes that will incline towards things of rhythm and beauty and particularly a love of music. This alignment also enhances affection and feelings of intimacy though these may be misdirected, misinterpreted or otherwise subject to deceitful or self deluding dispositions.

On the whole this is an atmosphere of conflicting emotions with unsettling moods that run side by side by others of a more zestful, inspiring or foolhardy nature. To complement this festive period the workings of Jupiter will add fun loving enjoyment with the potential for over doing things, or else exaggerated feelings that may run to excess and over indulgence in large measure.

Alert is 7.5 Moon 5% illuminated.
