Happy Christmas to all those who celebrate under the old calendar.
We are now just three or four days away from the Full Moon and more forceful, intense and aggressive emotions will all come to the fore. In addition there is likely to be an increase in general tensions and anxiety with notable apprehensions and raised awareness.
This sharpened sense of zestfulness may prove difficult to contend with and as we move closer to the Full Moon these feelings are sure to grow stronger and stronger. It is also necessary to be on guard against argumentative and confrontational attitudes with headstrong inclinations that may all too easily result in conflict, arguments and volatile exchanges, some of which could be violent. This will be especially likely where there is the consumption of alcohol and feelings may run extremely high even over quite trivial matters and problems.
As we have mentioned numerous times already another of the prime mood influencing factors of this period is the alignment between Mercury and Jupiter. For some days now this has resulted in optimistic and expansive mental expression that may lead to good judgement with a thoughtful and philosophical outlook. Communication with others may for the moment enjoy a better than usual synergy, but conversely any differences may be sharply delineated.
The typical traits associated with Jupiter may also apply and bring good humoured, fun loving interludes with a better sense of well being and entertainment. On the other hand moods associated with Jupiter can also dispose to reckless or foolhardy gestures that could render one prone to mishaps and accidents, with large financial expenditure or losses on trivial items that may quickly lose their appeal. Meanwhile the traits associated with Mercury can result in an over excitable mental outlook that in tandem with the impending Full Moon may create situations of high restlessness with anxiety and tension and increased apprehension.
As mentioned above the days ahead will tend towards more strident and forceful moods with the possibility of friction or confrontation. On the other hand this atmosphere may offer much needed zest to on going schemes and ventures with extra energy and determination as well as the inspiration and enthusiasm to see any problems in a better light.
A certain degree of impatience may be expected and as with any pre Full Moon situation there may be reduced concentration with growing restlessness that calls for the correct balance between physical and mental activity.
