Today sees the possibility of extreme moods and feelings with strong and powerful mood impulses. The reason for this is the opposition between the Moon and Uranus. This is out of the top category of unsettling mood influences and needs the most careful of attention.

Likely mood traits include bizarre, eccentric, or out of character moods and inclinations with unusual or even perverse thoughts and feelings. In addition there may be erratic and unstable emotions with a strong degree of nervous restlessness that may contribute to stress and anxiety with notable fear and apprehensions.

Under these circumstances problems may appear magnified and there may be drastic or dramatic solutions to even mundane situations and difficulties. As a consequence there is a definite risk of upheaval within the family setting and flare ups may arise from the merest provocation. In fact there may be a genuine desire to argue even if only for the sake of it.

It is worth pointing out that Moon/Uranus alignments are often present when there is some carnage involving a lone gunman who goes on a deadly killing spree, as the moods it induces show a distinct lessening of restraint and control.

Another major factor in this alert is the impending New Moon in two or three days time. This will further sharpen tensions with the possibility of arguments, anger and volatile behaviour.

On the more positive side this mood offers the chance for zestful thought and activity with a galvanic sense of energy, resourcefulness and enterprise.This period will also be good for original thought and ideas, with solutions to problems that one may never otherwise have thought possible.

Alert is 8. Moon 12% illuminated.
