This period sees a time of heightened alert with the possibility of extremes of mood and circumstance. This is largely the result of the opposition between the Moon and Uranus.

As frequent visitors to this site will know Moon/Uranus conjunctions are out of the top category of unsettling mood influences with the potential for extremes of circumstance. In addition there may be unusual, out of character, eccentric, or even perverse mood inclinations, with the possibility of upheaval within the family setting.

This period also finds itself at the focus of the so called ‘ doldrum period’ which comes midway between the Full Moon and New Moon. Likely mood traits include reserved, subdued, depressed and melancholic inclinations with a poor sense of self confidence and optimism.

As mentioned in numerous previous alert bulletins we are also coming to the height of the alignment involving Mars, Earth, Jupiter, and Neptune. This will create a varied and complex mood pattern, with contrasts that see aggressive, extravagant, and exaggerated emotions, together with more generous, sensitive, and affable inclinations.

It cannot be too highly emphasised that this period is one of considerable tension, nervous restlessness, and unstable emotions that for some will prove to be a significant challenge.

Coming days may see more by way of reserved, diffident, and uncertain feelings with a pessimistic outlook that may readily incline to a lowered sense of well being. In addition there may be an acute element of self questioning with doubts and misgivings: In plain language, an atmosphere that incorporates many separate influences combined into a challenging and difficult period.

Alert is 8. Moon 51% illuminated.
