Today sees the beginning of a week long alignment between the Sun and Mercury.

With regards to emotions this will contribute to a period of sharpened moods and emotions with accentuated feelings that will show powerful mental and emotional stimulus. This may lead to good self expression with intuitive and perceptive inclinations that in some cases may show strong psychic traits. At the same time there may be nervous upsets with unsettled emotions together with a strong desire for change and variety.

On a more positive scale of expression this atmosphere may lead to increased creativity and artistic ability allied to an original and inspired sense of enthusiasm. It is also a matter of fact that there may be reduced emotional tension in contrast to the moods of only just a few days ago.

It should be remembered that Jupiter and Neptune are now approaching the peak of their long term alignment that will continue until the early autumn. This 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.

Coming days will see a gradual but noticeable decline in the intensity of moods and feelings though the early days of the coming week will see a roller coaster of emotions as the Moon aspects with numerous planets in quick succession.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 72% illuminated.
