There is now an extreme mood alert warning in operation as the Moon begins to align with Uranus, whilst also being in opposition to Saturn.

As frequent visitors to this site will remember Moon/Uranus alignments are out of the top category of unsettling mood influences. Indeed they are often to be found where there are sudden, brutal, and very dramatic acts of violence and turmoil.

The main attributes of Moon/Uranus alignments are extreme, bizarre, and out of character feelings with the possibility of drastic and dramatic remedies to even the most trivial and mundane of problems.

Some measure of restraint may come from the fact that the Moon is also in opposition to Saturn. However, while this may instil some degree of balance, control and discipline it may also direct any animosities to a more premeditated form of expression that could render any hostile feelings all the more dangerous. Under these circumstances there is the potential for massive upheaval within the family setting and relationships may come under intense stress and pressure.

On the more positive side this atmosphere may be filled with a galvanic, restless energy that will be perfect for on going schemes and ventures. This means that activities requiring a prodigious amount of effort, enthusiasm and dedication may be extremely well served. Nevertheless it may prove difficult to focus on the task in hand with lowered concentration. In addition there may be a tendency to drink or eat more than usual as a means of taking the edge off the atmosphere in what continues to be a very heightened mood scenario.

It must also be remembered that we are now just two or three days beyond the Full Moon and this will inevitably mean continuing apprehension, anxiety and worry. Problems too will tend to be magnified out of all proportion with the merest provocation sufficient to cause major conflict.

Coming days will see a gradual decline in the intensity of moods and feelings though this immediate period remains one worthy of the utmost vigilance.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 97% illuminated.
