We are still at the height of one of the years most potent periods of planetary alignments. This means a time of extremely raised feelings and emotions with unique moods that may be on a level never previously encountered.

The prime feature of this current alert is the massive alignment between the Sun, Saturn, Mercury, Earth and Uranus. In many respects this represents a contrasting set of moods and feelings, sharply polarised into very distinct inclinations.

Unravelling the complexity of this period is not easy especially since there is also the cross influence of another alignment featuring Venus, Earth, Jupiter and Neptune. Essentially it means a mood environment that will be divided by extremes of thought and inclination, and at the same time subject to shades of other moods and feelings that will add a whole new dimension of intensity, power and inspiration that for many will seem without precedent.

Certain to say this is a period of original thought and ideas as well as sensations that may go far beyond the ordinary. As such it’s feelings should be noted and carefully balanced, as there may be a burning intensity that craves success and ambition with the possibility of impractical goals that are best evaluated against a more sedate emotional setting.

As mentioned in the previous alert bulletin we are now on the brink of the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere - or spring equinox in the southern hemisphere. This always creates intense mood situations with alert, vivid and penetrating emotions that once again may be difficult to come to terms with. Under these circumstances there may be highly stimulating, restless, and turbulent desires with widely contrasting feelings.

It has to be said that the influence of Jupiter and Venus will guarantee some degree of fun and affection with the potential for intimate, exhilarated and joyful mood impulses that once ignited may be without limits in their range of expression.

It will be appreciated that this is a highly complex mood situation, that is not easy to interpret. As such it constitutes a landmark emotional atmosphere with little comparison in recent years.

Coming days will see a gradual diminishing in the intensity of moods and feelings that will become especially apparent towards the end of the month as we exit one of the most complicated celestial periods in recent years.

Alert is 8. Moon 6% illuminated.
