Although there is a palpable decline in the intensity of moods and emotions this still continues to be a highly complex and alert mood pattern.

In many respects this is a celestial atmosphere of contrasting influences that may tend to cancel each other out. For example there is the extreme, eccentric, and out of character emotions associated with Uranus, combined with the more calculated, reserved and depressive nature of Saturn. Yet again there is the more alert, forceful, but apprehensive nature of Mercury that may lead to over stimulated feelings with a high degree of mental restlessness.

Under these circumstances there may be a tendency to deep rooted inhibitions with some degree of pessimism, self pity and needless worrying.

At the same time the influence of Mercury may incline towards powerful mental and nervous activity with an emphasis on mystical, spiritual, or religious inclinations. Indeed this could open up pathways of inner enlightenment with the possibility of broadened horizons and a new vision of ones future course of development. Either way there will be a susceptibility to subliminal influences that either consciously or subconsciously will effect major changes - whether for better or for worse.

In many respects this may be a notable period to look back upon, a formative environment of exciting possibilities and ideas that one way or another will outline the future for some time to come.

Coming days will see yet a further down turn in the overall intensity of moods and feelings. While this may be at the expense of some depression or sense of futility it will also provide an opportunity - if possible - to unburden ones mind of the accumulated stress that may have developed during the course of one of the years most concentrated periods of planetary alignments.
