In this present alert pattern the influence of Mars as it aligns with the Moon is very much in evidence. This means feelings will steadily incline towards more forceful, aggressive and emotional mood impulses. In addition passions may be running high with impatient, intolerant or argumentative attributes that may cause upheaval and friction.

The tendency towards more strident inclinations will become all the more sharpened by the fact that we are now only just three or four days away from the New Moon. This will certainly add to overall tensions and contribute to a mood of heightened anxiety and apprehension.

On the more positive side this period may incline towards sensitive and impressionable emotions that will be also be sharpened by a determined and ambitious outlook together with galvanic energy and enthusiasm for on going schemes and ventures. Indeed creative and artistic pursuits are extremely well indicated along with all other activities that rely on a high element of expressional ability.

Coming days will see a further heightening of moods and emotions as we come to the New Moon, and for some this may come to represent a time of very definite difficulty and challenge.

Alert is 7.5 Moon 16% illuminated.
