3rd - 4th January 2009

We are now very much in the twice monthly period that we often refer to as the ‘emotional doldrums’. As we have mentioned many times already this comes midway between the Full Moon and New Moon, or vice versa. With regards to emotions this constitutes a short but noticeable period where moods may be flattened and subject to diminished inspiration and enthusiasm. In addition there may be depressed, or subdued feelings with reduced self esteem and confidence.

On the other hand the effects of the Jupiter/Mercury alignment will ensure that any of the above mentioned moods will at least have a contrasting influence. For example there may be enhanced nervous stimulus with zestful and keen emotions though this may all too easily tend towards apprehension and anxiety.

There is also likely to be enhanced awareness and perception with strong intuitive reasoning. This could prove unsettling, however, provided that the right mix can be maintained between physical and mental exercise then this should ensure optimum circumstances for improved well being.

The influence of Jupiter means that despite the more subdued indications of this period there is also likely to be a fun loving, energetic, and adventurous disposition that could just tend to over exaggerated responses with extravagant gestures that may leave one open to accidents, mishaps or significant financial losses.

As will be seen this present emotional climate is one of opposites, with the strictures of the current Lunar phase and its associated depressive moods, contrasted by the more vibrant effects of Jupiter and Mercury.

Coming days will likely see marked emphasis of the ‘doldrum effect’, so that it may feel harder to get going or summon the necessary determination for on going schemes and ventures or indeed ones everyday tasks and obligations.
