We are still somewhat in the so called ‘doldrum period’ that occurs midway between the Full Moon and New Moon, or vice versa. As a result moods and emotions will tend to be slightly flattened with reduced enthusiasm and inspiration. There may also be feelings of depression or low self esteem with a pessimistic outlook that may see problems rather than solutions.

Under these circumstances there may be a loathing to come to important decisions or assume positions of high responsibility. Similarly it may prove difficult to keep to a well ordered routine as escapist tendencies will prove hard to resist.

On the more positive side this mood may have enough zestful energy to provide a spark of enthusiasm towards new and exciting ideas that will incline towards inventive, strange or original solutions. In addition there may be out of character thoughts and feelings with unusual, quirky or even perverse inclinations that may seem as though they have come from the mind of another person.

Coming days should see a growing restlessness with more animated emotions that will become all the more evident as we head towards the next New Moon in around a weeks time. This could mean a highly active nervous disposition that will be great for activities requiring extra energy and creativeness but could prove difficult for those who may find it difficult to balance the high intensity that this mood is capable of generating.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 40% illuminated.
