7th - 8th February 2009

We are now just a day or two away from the Full Moon and inevitably moods and emotions will tend towards tense nervous restlessness with heightened feelings that will readily incline towards extremes.

Today the intensity of the overall situation will be made even more noticeable because it coincides with Lunar Perigee, which is the point in the Moon’s monthly cycle which brings it closest to Earth. Consequently its effects and influence will be even more sharply felt and heighten traditional Full Moon attributes concerning apprehension, fear and aggression. All of these will be present to a varying extent and some will feel particularly pressured.

Under these circumstances problems may appear magnified and weigh heavily on the mind so that even trivial or mundane difficulties may acquire undue dimensions. At the same time one may be assailed by irrational worries and concerns and this will create anxiety and tension with an acute sense of awareness that will be made all the more apparent by the Moon’s opposition to Mercury.

As a result mental faculties will be even more sharply attuned with hyper aware consciousness that will be good for mental activity but can create fidgety or nervously inclined emotions that will not easily be calmed. Inevitably there may be a desire to take the edge off the atmosphere and this could involve alcohol, comfort eating, drugs, or any one of a number of ways of getting rid of excess tension. As we have said many time before the best and no doubt healthiest way of doing this is through the correct balance of physical and mental exercise taking care to observe the ancient Greek maxim of : ‘Perfection is everything to measure.’

Coming days will inevitably see yet further tense and anxious moods as the Moon aspects with numerous planets within no more than three or four days. This will create a roller coaster of feelings, some of which may cancel each other out.

Primarily however it is feelings of aggression and anger that may cause the greatest friction, as there will be a low threshold of tolerance, making arguments all the more likely. Indeed where arguments do develop - especially when fuelled by alcohol - there may be little restraint in what is said or done and there is the potential for violent confrontation.

On the more positive side this atmosphere offers a wealth of energy and zestful enthusiasm for on going schemes and ventures, though concentration may be far from optimal and it may not be easy to stick to the task in hand. With some discipline however this atmosphere can be channelled to extremely good effect with high productivity to a very high standard.

Alert is 8. Moon 94% illuminated.
