This atmosphere sees a continuation of heightened moods and feelings with very definite tensions and anxieties that may still prove challenging.

Under these circumstances there may be a confusing mix of emotions and feelings with contrasting feelings that could prove challenging. Effectively this means very strident and forceful emotions with confrontational and exciteable feelings. It is worth noting that the effects of alcohol will be magnified and there will also be a desire to want to drink more than usual.

As mentioned in numerous previous alerts Mars is now in opposition to Jupiter and this will sharpen moods of a passionate and volatile nature. In fact these planets have become known as ‘the planets of war’ and generally when these feature in any form of conjunction there are sure to be highly colourful events and happenings, both on a personal, national, and international level.

At the same time Mars and Jupiter are also coming into alignment with Neptune. With regards to mood traits this is likely to create a sensitive, delicate, and at times reflective mood atmosphere with self refining influences. These may invoke feelings, plans and ideas of a lasting nature and give breadth to personal ambitions and aspirations.

Once again this represents an intense, powerful, and confusing period of moods and feelings during which it may become difficult to stay focused on the task in hand. At the same time the raw passion generated at this time may be used to good effect in pursuing goals and ambitions that may previously have seemed unattainable.

Coming days will see a gradual, but noticeable decline in the intensity of moods and feelings though this may be at the expense of some depression or melancholia.

Alert is 8. Moon 17% illuminated.
