Today is the day of the New Moon and moods and feelings will be tense and on edge with increased nervous restlessness and anxiety. There is also the potential for raised aggression, anger and confrontation with petty animosities and simmering resentments.

Under these circumstances there is the possibility of friction within the family setting so that even trivial sources of conflict may lead to major episodes of hostility and contention. In addition problems may appear to be magnified so that even mundane problems may assume monumental proportions.

This is also an atmosphere likely to see heightened apprehensions, with raised fears and concerns, and there may be an intense reliance on escapist pursuits and activities and ones daily routine may be subject to frequent self imposed delays and disruptions.

On the more positive side this period sees plenty of intense, creative energy, with a constructive force of reckoning that can lead to major changes of a lasting nature.

All in all this is a strong and powerful mood atmosphere capable of extremes of emotion with notable benefits but also the possibility of highly challenging circumstances.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 0% illuminated.
