Today sees an opposition between the Moon and Saturn. As well as anything this may lead to a short but noticeable period of reduced enthusiasm and inspiration with little motivation or sense of confidence.

On the other hand there may be an improved element of discipline and control with more calculated and ordered thoughts and feelings. This may lead to better co-ordinated plans and ideas, but may suffer when it comes to originality, spontaneity or enthusiasm.

Fortunately some measure of zestfulness is retained by the on going alignment between the Sun and Mercury. This will accentuate all feelings of alertness, intuition and perception that for some may amount to enhanced psychic and mystical realisation.

On the more positive side this period may be perfect for those working to a tight deadline or those who need that extra boost of energy and inspiration.

Coming days will see a lessening in the intensity of moods over previous days though an exception is likely to come on the 13th of the month when the Moon aligns with Uranus, but more on this in a future alert bulletin.

Alert is 7.5 Moon 82% illuminated.
