7th - 8th November 2009

The Moon is now in alignment with Mars. With regard to moods this will inevitably create a highly emotional, enflamed and passionate atmosphere with very forceful moods and feelings.

There is also the potential for contentious encounters, confrontation, as well as more aggressive, forceful, and intense mood inclinations. Under these circumstances there will be a very definite sense of like and dislike, so that feelings may be sharply polarised and subject to extremes of variation.

One balancing factor of this current alert period is the fact that we are now about to enter into a phase that is loosely referred to here as the ‘doldrum period’. This comes midway between the Full Moon and New Moon, or vice versa and heralds a short but noticeable period of subdued, depressive and uninspired emotions with little impetus for forward development.

On the other hand the two separate mood blocks will tend to balance one another out, and yet another influencing factor comes from two separate alignments, both of which add zest to the current atmosphere. The first of these is the continuing alignment between the Sun and Mercury which is now at 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.

As mentioned above coming days will see a gradual diminishing in the intensity of overall moods and emotions though this may be at the expense of some feelings of melancholia or depression. Even so this will be balanced by some of the more invigorating factors mentioned above.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 69% illuminated.
