Moods and feelings will inhabit a more understanding, friendlier, and accommodating emotional spectrum as the Moon aligns with Jupiter. This will lead to an altogether more pleasant and engaging atmosphere so that differences and difficulties may not have quite the same urgency as previous days.

As mentioned in previous alerts Mars is also in opposition to both Jupiter and 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.

Under these circumstances it may prove difficult to concentrate on the task in hand with intense escapist tendencies that could prove detrimental to ones normal routine. Another important factor of this present alert pattern is that we are now heading for a period referred to here as the ‘emotional doldrums.’ This comes midway between the New Moon and Full Moon, or vice versa, and concerns moods of a significantly lowered, or less intense nature. However these may all too easily incline towards depression and melancholia with reduced confidence, self esteem and optimism.

As always these factors will be counter influenced by other elements already mentioned, with a delicate balance between amicable, sensitive, and hopeful moods weighed against those of a more sedate, easy going but pessimistic nature. Indeed happy will be those able to take things at their own pace, whilst placing few demands on their energy, effort, and overall stamina. This means that those under a tight deadline may come to feel especially pressured whereas those able to relax and take things easy may see this as an especially rewarding time.

Coming days will see broadly similar moods though it should be remembered that with Mars still in opposition to Jupiter there will always be the potential for more hostile moods and feelings.
