The New Moon tensions of the previous few days have now begun to subside. As a result moods will not display the same strident quality as previous days though emotions will still be capable of exhibiting very definite stress and anxiety. The difference is that feelings may not be subject to quite the same intensity of emotion and following days should continue this trend still further.

Indeed coming days will see a steady diminishing of this heightened mood situation with a more sedate and relaxed feel to the atmosphere. This will be rendered all the more likely by the fact that we are now entering a period of three or four days which is surprisingly lacking in terms of notable planetary alignments.

The negative side of this is that coming days may see emotions that exhibit more in the way of flattened or depressed emotions with poor self confidence or else a pessimistic inclination and overly doubtful attitude that may be hard to dispel. On the more positive side this situation may offer a great opportunity for rest and relaxation, provided one is prepared to narrow ones horizons and be happy to keep well within ones endurance and capabilities.

The one notable planetary alignment of this period features the conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune which are now at 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.

As mentioned above coming days will continue according to a broadly similar pattern and before long a general lack of zest and enthusiasm may be very apparent. On the other hand this may be a great time to take things easy if at all possible.
