Although moods and emotions may not be quite so acute as on previous days this still continues to be a very heightened mood scenario - indeed one of the most complex of the year. It means that there will be a considerably elevated sense of awareness with increased nervous restlessness and anxiety.

Under these circumstances there may be reduced concentration and focus and it may require a great deal of discipline to keep to ones normal routine. There may also be an increased level of mental stimulus with a more positive outlook with thoughts and ideas that could prove of pivotal importance to ones future course of development.

As mentioned in previous alerts this is a period of the utmost complexity with contrasting moods and feelings that to some extent may tend to cancel each other out. For example there is the extreme, drastic, and dramatic nature of Uranus contrasted by the calculated, restricted, and depressive attributes of Saturn. Then again there are the acutely aware and focused inclinations of Mercury that represent zealous activity, enterprise, and very strident mental activity.

Another key element of this alert pattern is the continuing alignment featuring Venus, Earth, Neptune and Jupiter. This has created subtle, refined, delicate, and intimate feelings with nostalgic, reflective, and affectionate emotions that may evoke very powerful feelings of the sort that could result in major personal changes.

Another prime element of this mood pattern is the proximity of the Autumnal Equinox which occurs on the 22nd of September at 21:18 GMT or 17:18 EDT. In the northern hemisphere this marks the beginning of autumn, whilst the southern hemisphere celebrates the arrival of spring. Suffice it to say the Equinoxes have their own special tensions that in the present celestial situation may result in quite definite challenges.. On the other hand there may be a surge of dynamic energy with ideas and inspiration that may never have arisen under so called ‘normal conditions’.

All in all this is a highly unique period of moods and emotions that represent a significant challenge to ones sense of well being. At the moment this is inclined to the more up lifting side of the emotional spectrum with the potential for life changing feelings and inclinations.

Coming days will see a slow decline in the overall intensity of emotions, though this will continue to be a very heightened mood situation for at least the next week or so.

Alert is 8. Moon 2% illuminated.
