8th - 9th February 2009

We are now right in the middle of a highly complex mood pattern that is a reflection of equally celestial alignments. Undoubtedly the most important element of this alert period is the impending Full Moon which is now just hours away. Inevitably this will lead to increased nervous tension, anxiety as well as more forceful, not to say confrontational moods and inclinations.

At this time the Moon is also in opposition to both Mars and Jupiter and this will heighten the overall mood atmosphere still further. With regards to Mars this is sure to add to the more passionate and volatile qualities of the Full Moon and we have a highly combustible mood environment with the possibility for major arguments, volatile expression or else simmering resentments that will be hard to ignore.

Under these circumstances friction and conflict may erupt upon the slightest provocation and even with no provocation at all as some may love to argue even if only for the sake of it. Indeed where arguments develop there may be little restraint in what is said or done and the consequences may be around for some time to come. Inevitably this period will also create high nervous restlessness with anxiety and tension, so that problems will appear magnified or assume undue dimensions.

Similarly there may be a plethora of fears and concerns with heightened awareness and apprehension that are likely to create stress laden symptoms such as knotted stomach, headache, palpitations or else just feeling jumpy and on edge. Inevitably this may give rise to a strong desire to take the edge off the atmosphere through alcohol, comfort eating, drugs, or any one of a number of ways of getting rid of excess tension.

On the more positive side this atmosphere can offer galvanic energy for on going schemes and ventures though extra discipline will be required as concentration will be far from optimal and keeping to the task in hand could prove difficult.

The influence of Jupiter may also be apparent and this may introduce lighter hearted moods and feelings with increased generosity and consideration. On the other hand combined with the obvious Full Moon energy it may also tend towards highly exaggerated gestures with the risk of over boisterous or over adventurous behaviour and attitudes.

Today also sees the commencement of the Sun/Neptune alignment that will remain active for around 11 days. Likely mood traits to come from this include powerful self refining impulses with idealistic, sensitive, idealistic and impressionable emotions that may be prone to impractical or confused ideas and feelings.

This alignment can also enhance mystical or spiritual awareness and open up inner pathways to fresh new horizons or personal discovery. However it may also prove to be a bad time for those susceptible to too much drink or drugs as the sensitivities it evokes could prove difficult to handle. T

here is no doubt this is a highly active mood pattern, that although filled with challenging emotions also has more than enough zest and enthusiasm to promote activities of a highly fulfilling nature. Whatever the case this atmosphere needs the most careful of handling as it can all too easily tend towards extremes.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 98% illuminated.
