This is now one in a line of days with a broadly similar mood outlook. Indeed we are now heading for one of the years most concentrated periods of planetary alignments and this is sure to have an enormous impact on general moods and feelings.

For the moment we are now about to head into the so called ‘doldrum period’ which comes between the Full Moon and New Moon, or vice versa. This means a lowered mood spectrum with correspondingly lowered enthusiasm, inspiration and determination and also flattened emotions with a disposition to depression, pessimism and reduced self confidence.

On this occasion the so called doldrum period will be cross influenced by numerous planetary alignments which will tend to offset some of the above mentioned features, but not eliminate them entirely. For example the Sun is now beginning to come into opposition with both 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.

Coming days will see a gradual heightening of emotions in what is one of the years most complex periods of emotional stability.
