This still constitutes a very heightened mood situation with the potential for highly volatile moods and emotions.

As a result feelings will be very much on edge with increased agitation and anxiety as well as strong nervous restlessness. In addition there may be powerfully aggressive inclinations with the likelihood of friction and tension within the family setting. Indeed arguments may erupt from the most trivial of motives and blaze brightly with little restraint in what is said or done.

Under these circumstances there may be a definite desire to argue, even if only for the sake of it.

The reason for this unstable period of emotions is the waning effects of the New Moon together with an ever growing alignment featuring an opposition between Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. Added to this the Moon is now coming into opposition with Mars which is guaranteed to sharpen all feelings of a turbulent, aggressive and confrontational nature. This will also entail raised passions and a keen sense of like and dislike with tempers easily aroused to even violent proportions.

The effects and influence of Neptune mean there will at least be a degree of sensitivity with delicate, refined and reflective mood impulses that will offset some of the harsher elements of this mood forecast.

It has to be emphasised that under the present conditions there may be a natural sense of confusion and chaos and if at all possible important decisions are best left until a more propitious mood period.

The positives in this atmosphere focus upon a period that offers a chance to evaluate, contemplate and weigh up ones direction in life in a manner that may be disconcerting or uncomfortable but which brings new or more dynamic alternatives into focus. 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 emotions though this may be at the expense of some depression or melancholia.
