The current alert period sees the alignment of the Moon and Venus, both of which are somewhat in opposition to Mars.

As a result there will be widely polarised moods and feelings with the forceful and aggressive nature of Mars contrasted by the more gentle, sympathetic and understanding inclinations of Venus. This may lead to quite passionate and emotional feelings with strong moods that may be split between the more forthright expressions of Mars and the intimate and affectionate qualities of Venus. This could lead to a highly colourful mood of romantic dispositions but also considerable frustration if it proves impossible to adequately address the powerful feelings of this period.

The Sun and Mercury are still aligned and this will contribute to raised perception and awareness with the potential for over concerned, apprehensive, or generally raised emotions. Qualities of a creative, artistic, or expressional nature will be particularly well indicated with the possibility of psychic and mystical realisation as well as opening pathways to new and more exciting dimensions of thought and ideas.

Coming days will see a gradual increase in overall levels of tension and anxiety as we approach the New Moon with increased stress and nervous restlessness. There is also likely to be raised emotions that will tend towards contention, anger and intolerance with a strong possibility of arguments and provocative behaviour. On the other hand this period offers a unique element of natural energy to achieve and direct ones attention to highly rewarding and stimulating activities.

Alert is 7. Moon 24% illuminated.
