19th - 20th January 2009

We are now in the years first period of very concentrated planetary alignments. For example the Sun is now beginning to align with Mercury and Jupiter. At the same time Uranus and Venus are also aligned, with both of them in opposition to Saturn.

With regard to moods and emotions this inevitably constitutes a highly complex period of very changeable moods and feelings. The influence of the Sun as it aligns with both Mercury and Jupiter will tend to create powerful nervous and mental activity. In addition there may be a changeable, restless and unsettled disposition that will look for variety and change. Jupiter on the other hand will influence more optimistic and good humoured emotions with a better sense of synergy between individuals.

The other major alignment of this period features Venus and Uranus, both of which are in opposition to Saturn. So far as moods are concerned this is likely to lead excitable feelings with unusual tastes and values. Added to this there are likely to be perverse or out of character thoughts and actions with the possibility of loose morals and inclinations. There is also the potential for independent or self centred attitudes with a romantic disposition that could lead to affairs, illicit relationships, and the possibility of splits within existing relationships.

The actions of Saturn may tend towards coolly affectionate feelings with stricter values, but also an inadequacy of feeling with selfish desires, loneliness and pessimism.

The reality is that these clashing emotions with contrasting moods may tend to cancel each other out, and it will be hard to predict which will predominate at any given moment. Suffice it to say that the mood situation of the coming week is shaping up into a colourful period of very challenging emotions.
