Just a few days after the Full Moon and moods and emotions are still tense and on edge. As a result there will be increased nervous restlessness with heightened feelings that for some may become quite challenging. In particular there may be extremes of emotion with exaggerated or penetrating feelings with unstable, unrestrained, or turbulent mood experiences.

Under these circumstances feelings may be all over the place with accelerated, belligerent, and argumentative emotions with the possibility of extremes of circumstance and upheaval within the family setting.

It should be warned that these emotions will be made all the more powerful by the consumption of alcohol, the effects of which will be greatly magnified at this time. In addition there may be a temptation to want to drink more than usual, thus increasing the likelihood of alcohol fuelled episodes.

As mentioned in the previous alert it may be easy to lose ones sense of perspective and equilibrium with rampant emotions that may not easily be subdued.

In fact the current emotional climate is made all the more intense by the alignment of the Sun and Mercury which is now about to come to a peak. With regard to moods, feelings may be alert and on edge with unsettled inclinations and a strong desire for change. In addition there may be a strong creative or expressional urge with emotions that will incline towards mystical or spiritual awareness with the potential for an awakening to new dimensions of personal enlightenment.

This period also sees the beginning of an important opposition between Mars and Jupiter that will last into the next year. Likely mood traits include extra aggression, passion and zestfulness with a natural element of forceful activity that may be perfect for on going activities or those on a tight deadline that require the maximum of focus.

Coming days will likely see a continuation of the present heightened emotional situation but towards the end of the week there may be a definite trend to less intense emotions, though this could be at the expense of more depressed, hesitant, or unsure feelings. On the other hand those able to take things easy may benefit from a period that will naturally incline itself to rest and relaxation.

Alert is 8. Moon 95% illuminated.
