We are now only just a matter of three or four days away from the Full Moon.

Inevitably this will mean a definite rise in tense nervous restlessness with increased anxiety and apprehension. In addition there will be a more confrontational or argumentative attitude with the possibility of volatile moods and attitudes.

Passions may be running high and this will mean raised tempers and the potential for domestic disputes and arguments over the most inconsequential of matters.

Today also sees an opposition between the Moon and Venus and Mars. This will lead to passionate, yet affectionate emotions with a keen sense of like and dislike. There may also be highly creative, assertive, or forthright attitudes with positive minded inclinations that could tend towards new and more rewarding alternatives with ideas that could alter the course of ones future direction.

At the same time Saturn is coming back into opposition with Uranus. The two planets were conjunct for all of the year until late April and will now remain opposed until around the end of November. Likely mood traits include ambitious, determined and self willed inclinations with a practical and mechanical minded outlook.

There may also be a cruel and egotistical tendency with selfish thoughts and feelings that may not relate well to the needs of others.

It should also be remembered that Jupiter and Neptune are in long term alignment - a particularly rare conjunction - that occurs just once every 13 years or so. This can give rise to refined, intuitive or perceptive moods, with artistic, philosophical or mystical impulses. Added to this there may be escapist tendencies with emotionally charged feelings that may be prone to major gestures of a highly exaggerated or extravagant nature.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 79% illuminated.
