Today sees a massive alignment between the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune, each of which is in opposition to Mars. In the meantime the Sun is still very much at the peak of its alignment with Venus.

With regard to moods and emotions this constitutes a highly complex emotional setting with contrasting feelings and inclinations. Added to this there may be a distinctly turbulent, anxious, and restless mood atmosphere with sharply polarised emotions.

The influence of Jupiter will add generous, affable, and humorous inclinations whereas Neptune will dispose to extremely sensitive moods with self refined and delicate intimations. In addition there will be pronounced escapist tendencies with a particular need to take the edge off the atmosphere through either drugs or drink or the limitless other ways of achieving the same effect. Mars will of course add passion, intensity and forcefulness with the potential for violent outbursts and confrontation.

Balancing some of the more agitated aspects of this alert pattern are the effects of the alignment involving the Sun and Venus. Likely mood traits include raised feelings of affection and intimacy with a stronger degree of understanding and sympathy. On the other hand, as stated numerous times already this need to feel wanted, loved, and appreciated may - if not reciprocated -have a reverse tendency towards isolation, loneliness, and feelings of rejection.

Coming days will see a swift series of Lunar alignments that will add color, variety, and passion to the overall mood spectrum. In addition there will be a high degree of creative inspiration or original thoughts and ideas that could open pathways to new avenues of thought and enquiry.

On a more mundane level it may just supply answers to questions in a way that may previously have seemed impossible.

Alert is 8. Moon 2% illuminated.
