We are now just one or two days away from the Full Moon according to ones own particular time zone. Essentially this means we are in a period of heightened emotional intensity with sharpened moods and feelings.

Apprehensions, anxiety, and nervous tension will all be running high. In addition there may be raised passions and restlessness with problems relating to concentration, focus and the ability to keep to the task in hand. Indeed distractions from temptations that appear to offer instant emotional and physical gratification may be hard to resist and keeping to ones normal daily routine may be difficult. Indeed those on a tight deadline may feel especially pressured, whereas those able to take things at their own pace will feel an unburdened sense of freedom that will be perfect for those needing to relax.

As with any immediate pre-Full Moon situation there will be a potential for strained moods and feelings with the chance of extreme views and emotions. This can lead to volatile exchanges with argumentative inclinations that will find provocation in the most trivial of motives.

On the more positive side this is an atmosphere with plenty of nervous energy for on going schemes and ventures with a definite desire to succeed. However it may feel easy to become disillusioned or disappointed with an easy sense of resignment to apparent setbacks.

As mentioned in previous alerts the slow on going alignment between Jupiter and Neptune has the potential to lead to 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.
