Today sees the Moon in opposition to Saturn. This is likely to create circumstances involving limited, disciplined, and restricted mood impulses, with strongly calculated emotions that may also tend towards lack of confidence and self esteem.

Under these circumstances there could be a lowered element of ambition and purpose, or a pessimistic outlook with reduced drive and enthusiasm.

On the other hand this is still a mood situation with notable contrasts. The Sun and Venus still remain aligned, with both in opposition to Mars. Likely mood traits include affectionate, intimate, and more sympathetic feelings coupled with passionate and forceful emotions that may be prone to argumentative and volatile behaviour.

In the days ahead this alignment will become all the more important in raising spirits as we head to the so called ‘doldrum period’ that comes between the New Moon and Full Moon, or vice versa. At this time moods are habitually restrained with a tendency towards depressive thoughts and emotions. On this occasion however the influence of Mars may well induce a more dynamic and powerful mood scenario to wipe away the undesirable elements of this complex celestial pattern.

Alert is 8. Moon 27% illuminated.
