We are now just two or three days short of the New Moon and moods will be tense or agitated with increased nervous restlessness.

Under these circumstances emotions will be exaggerated and subject to extremes of circumstance. In addition there may be petty animosities, confrontation, or simmering resentments with hostile inclinations that could tend towards violence or explosive outbursts. These will be made all the more likely by the consumption of alcohol whose effects will be magnified at this time.

As we have mentioned for the last week or so this mood atmosphere is heavily influenced by 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 confusing, and filled with contrasting inclinations.

The sum total of this current alert period is a perplexing, varied, and at times troubled mood scenario that could involve deep and profound feelings and experiences. For some these may be unsettling and difficult to come to terms with, asking difficult questions of ones course of direction, relationships, and overall sense of purpose. On the other hand it may provide ideas and opportunities in a manner that one may never have previously considered; an an altered psychology that could open new avenues of personal discovery.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 12% illuminated.
