We are now very much in the so called ‘doldrum period, which occurs midway between the Full Moon and New Moon, or vice versa.

With regard to moods this means a time of reduced motivation and enthusiasm with lowered self confidence and inspiration. Under these circumstances it may feel harder to get going and summon the necessary determination to make a firm difference in ones daily routine.

This period may also dispose towards lowered self confidence, or a pessimistic outlook that may be hard to dispel.

Fortunately some measure of zest and determination will be preserved by the continuing alignment of 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.There is also likely to be increased creative, artistic, and expressional ability with plans and ideas of an original nature.

The next few days are likely to see moods of a broadly similar disposition with a slow diminishing in the intensity of feelings at the probable expense of depressional, unsure or doubtful inclinations.

As mentioned in the previous alert those able to relax and take things very much at their leisure may find this period conducive to rest and relaxation and doing nothing in particular. Unfortunately those working to a tight deadline may come to feel especially pressured as will anyone whose needs and desires are driven by a rigid chronological regimen.

Alert is 7. Moon 55% illuminated.
