This present alert period sees a noticeable reduction in the power and intensity of moods and feelings, with slightly less potency than previous days. However this still constitutes a complex and sometimes challenging atmosphere with the effects of the alignment involving Mars, Earth, Jupiter, and Neptune still very prominent.

As stated in numerous previous alerts this will create circumstances that will vary from more aggressive, confrontational and assertive emotions to ones of high sensitivity and perception.

Added to this there may be a firm sense of purpose and ambition with a strong drive to succeed. On the other hand this may be countered by powerful mental confusion, chaos, or the inability to concentrate, as escapist inclinations exert their attraction. It also invites one to the possibility to think ‘out of the box’ and arrive at conclusions one may never have previously considered.

There is no doubt this atmosphere prompts important choices and the chance to think and behave differently.The effects of Jupiter may also be apparent with more generous, fun loving, and friendlier inclinations. However this may also lead to over adventurous, exaggerated, or extravagant moods that could result in accidents, mishaps, or large financial expenditure. Nevertheless there may be a genuine sense of joy in living, though this may translate into an over indulgent attitude that could invite considerable excess.

Coming days will be heavily conditioned by the above mentioned factors but this week has other important circumstances to take into account. One is the impending opposition between the Moon and Uranus, and the other is the so called entry into the ‘doldrum period’ which comes midway between the Full Moon and New Moon, or vice versa.

On this occasion the ‘doldrum period’ will be heavily cross influenced by a number of the fore mentioned details but will inevitably result in lowered enthusiasm and inspiration. At the same it may also constitute a period naturally inclined to rest and relaxation, though those on a tight deadline may suffer.

Alert is 7. Moon 62% illuminated.
