This atmosphere continues to be one of highly sensitive, alert and vulnerable mood pressures that for some may be a bit too much for comfort.

Certain to say that the year will end with heightened moods and feelings that reflect the varied celestial pattern of this time. In many respects this highlights a period where strong, forceful and very direct feelings will be countered and balanced by more reserved, depressive and unsure mood patterns. This may lead to lack of confidence, and self esteem, with a doubtful and fearful disposition that may see problems magnified and assume undue dimensions.

The ongoing alignment of Mercury and Jupiter will ensure a blend of nervous energy with more generous, humorous and fun loving emotions that will be an ideal accompaniment to New Years celebrations. On the other hand this alignment can incline towards exaggerated or extravagant gestures with nervous episodes that may include an over worrying attitude laden with fears and apprehensions.

Venus and Neptune are still aligned and this will contribute to more affectionate, idealistic, and refined inclinations with a better sense of harmony and rhythm. Above all this may lead to a love of beauty with delicate tastes and values. On the other hand the influence of Neptune will dispose towards confused, chaotic, and changeable feelings with a tendency to deceit and self deception or the problem of distorting events to see them in a far less realistic manner.

All in all the year comes to and end with conflicting emotions that will heighten the general atmosphere but at the same time be prone to worry and misgivings or insecurity for the future.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 10% illuminated.
