We are now entering one of the years sparsest periods of planetary alignments with just the conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune to attract any note. This is now approaching a peak, with its likely effects discussed below. However what is of even more significance at this time is that we are only just a day or two away from the Full Moon.

Inevitably this means a period of intense and extreme moods with raised anxiety and tension. Under these circumstances fears and concerns will be exaggerated with problems magnified to the extent where practical solutions may be hard to find. It means that senses may operate to a distorted degree of judgement and it may be hard to discern between what is necessary and that which is desirable. In fact escapist inclinations may be well to the fore and it could prove difficult to keep to ones normal routine as distractions of a more attractive and sensuous nature may be hard to ignore.

As with any pre Full Moon lead up there may be aggressive and belligerent moods and feelings so that arguments and confrontational episodes may swiftly arise from the merest provocation. Coming days will see these inclinations develop still further with the potential for particularly nasty and volatile exchanges.

As mentioned above Jupiter is coming to the peak of its alignment in its long running alignment with Neptune. This alignment occurs only once every 13 years or so and likely mood traits are likely to revolve around increased emotional sensitivity with delicate and self refining impulses together with traditional Jovian qualities associated with generosity, understanding and fun loving enterprise and activity.

This alignment also disposes to increased psychic and mystical awareness that may open up inner pathways to new and more exciting dimensions of personal thought and discovery. On another level it may offer creative and original solutions to problems or encourage one to participate in ventures and activities that one may never previously have considered.
