The Moon is now aspecting with both Jupiter and Neptune in a opposition that is creating very noticeable mood swings. These involve sensitive, delicate and emotional moods and feelings, together with heightened awareness and perception that could make for a short but meaningful alert period.

Under these circumstances refined and extremely vulnerable feelings will be balanced by more adventurous, out going and generous inclinations that will demonstrate unique elements of ones character and ability. Above all this may be a period for making major decisions - of taking the plunge into more daring exploits, or finally committing to ventures that one may previously have avoided.

This period is also just emerging from the so called ‘doldrum period’ which comes midway between the New Moon and Full Moon, or vice versa. With regards to moods this can bring flattened or depressive moods with the chance of lowered self confidence, enthusiasm and determination.

Coming days will see a gradual return to more zestful and forceful emotions with a better sense of purpose and inspiration. Indeed before the Full Moon in around six days time there is a short but important period of Lunar aspects that will create a roller coaster of feelings in around two to five days hence.

Apart from the normal round of routine Lunar alignments this period is one of the sparsest in terms of the years planetary alignments with moods that may conform to a more stable level than of late.

Alert is 6.5 . Moon 62% illuminated.
