We are now gradually entering one of the years most concentrated periods of planetary alignments. This will come to a peak in around two weeks time and coincides with the next New Moon. However we are already well on the way towards this alignment period and we are currently beginning to see the start of the opposition of the Sun with Jupiter and Neptune.

This will lead to heightened emotional sensitivity with delicate self refining impulses together with impractical or escapist tendencies. There may also be a strong interest in mystical or spiritual awareness that may open up inner pathways to new and more rewarding areas of personal enquiry and perception. Creative and artistic abilities will be well to the fore and this will be of benefit to all pursuits requiring powerful expressional ability.

Unfortunately there may be a disposition to self deception, confusion and deceitfulness with an intense desire to escape from the fears and realities of life.

Some measure of balance will come from Jupiter with added exuberance, optimism, and good humoured behaviour. However there may be an inclination towards exaggerated, over boisterous moods and feelings with extravagant or reckless gestures that may result in accidents or mishaps or the needless and frivolous expenditure of large sums of money.

It must also be remembered that we are still only 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 careful attention.

Alert is 8. Moon 92% illuminated.
