With just over a day to the next New Moon tensions and anxieties will be heightened and on edge with intense nervous restlessness. As a result there is the possibility of extremes of mood and feeling with exaggerated, agitated, and turbulent feelings that for some will come close to the limits of what they feel they can stand.

On the other hand the alignment of the Sun and Venus will provide more affectionate, intimate, and sympathetic inclinations; sharpening ones perspective to a more caring spectrum. However where there is no source of reciprocation for these emotions, or focus for their attention there may be feelings of intense loneliness and isolation. For some this could prove to be difficult, and result in trying circumstances with no obvious answer to what may seem a tunnel to nowhere.

This mood is made all the more forceful by the alignment between the Moon and Mercury, instilling urgent, worrying and restless feelings with a strong desire for change and variety.

Meanwhile Mars remains in opposition to both Jupiter and Neptune. Likely mood traits see a complex mix of aggressive, forceful, and sensitive inclinations, together with typical Jovian qualities of generosity, humour and extravagant gestures. Escapism in its limitless guises will also be apparent creating an atmosphere where it may be difficult to keep to a rigid schedule.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 1% illuminated.
