Moods and emotions still inhabit a heightened state of emotional insecurity, just a matter of days after the New Moon.

This means very definite tensions and anxieties, with an unsettled disposition that for some could prove challenging. In addition there may be heightened apprehensions to the point where problems become magnified to an undue extent. Consequently there may be exaggerated and out of character feelings with a sense of awareness that may invoke restless or turbulent feelings.

At the same time this mood may foster sensitive and delicate emotions with a strong sense of nostalgia and attachment to an escapist disposition that may be to the detriment of a well ordered routine.

Under these circumstances concentration may be compromised and it could be difficult to focus on the task in hand. However as stated in previous alerts this mood will tend towards zestful energy of a highly energetic nature with resourceful and enterprising ideas as well as the potential for unique solutions to long term problems.

As with every accelerated and dynamic atmosphere there may be a tendency to want to take the edge off the atmosphere through either drugs or drink and alcohol fuelled incidents are a distinct possibility.

Coming days should see a gradual diminishing in the intensity of moods and feelings and this will become especially noticeable towards the end of the week.

Alert is 8. Moon 8% illuminated.
