Today sees the peak of the alignment between the Sun and Venus.This means that despite the heightened tensions associated with the impending New Moon in several days time this atmosphere will at least be treated to more affectionate, considerate, and intimate moods and feelings. This will include understanding, loving, considerate, and more expansive emotional attributes with a strong need for companionship and belonging.

On the other hand this mood is also strongly influenced by the massive alignment featuring Mars, Earth, Jupiter and Neptune.

For some weeks now this has introduced considerable complexity to an already stretched mood scenario with notable contrasts representing a competing mood spectrum that is anything but straightforward. This means a polarisation of feeling ranging from the more joyful, abandoned, and adventurous expressions of Jupiter to the more aggressive disposition of Mars that in this immediate New Moon situation will find heightened intensity. Yet again there is the sensitive, penetrating, and refining nature of Neptune that will provide acute feelings and emotions, with escapist tendencies that may result in needing to take the edge off the situation through either drugs or drink.

Either way this will be an intensely laden mood period that over the next few days will see yet more heightened feelings and emotions as we approach the New Moon.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 10% illuminated.
