The countdown is now underway to the next New Moon in around three or four days time. Inevitably this will mean a period of raised emotions and tensions with the possibility of extremes of mood and circumstance.

Under these conditions there is likely to be heightened apprehension and anxiety, so that all problems will be magnified and made to assume undue dimensions. In addition there may be volatile or confrontational attitudes with the potential for stretched moods and feelings.This may create unstable, excitable, and uncertain emotions with a tendency to dramatic events and circumstances.

In fact coming days may see a definite inclination to sharpened moods and feelings and the likelihood of bitter, forceful, and confrontational feelings laden with hostility and resentment.

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. These are also likely to combine with more generous, sensitive, and affable inclinations to form a pattern of feelings that will be both complex, and filled with contrasting inclinations.

On the more positive side this mood atmosphere also sees the possibility of original thought and ideas, with the potential to find unique answers to difficult situations in a way that may not otherwise have occurred.

Alert is 8. Moon 20% illuminated.
