This mood has changed very little from the previous day, with the exception of a possible increase in tense nervous restlessness, with added anxiety and tension. There may also be a chance of extra aggression and latent anger with belligerent, volatile, and confrontational attitudes. These will become even further heightened in the days ahead as we approach the next Full Moon on the 30th of January.

As mentioned in many of the previous alert bulletins this mood is also heavily influenced by the massive alignment featuring the Sun, Venus, Earth and Mars. For some days now this has created a uniquely polarised atmosphere with the intimacy, affection and understanding of Venus contrasted by the aggression, forcefulness, and volatility of Mars. Indeed some aspects of this alert may resemble features of a Full Moon environment with increased anxiety, nervous restlessness and lack of concentration.

Under these circumstances there may be a definite edge to emotions with the possibility of arguments, needless confrontation and growing apprehension.

On the more positive side this current alert period offers plenty of dynamic, creative energy, with a strong passion and intensity of purpose - a single-minded determination, that although prone to arguments may arrive at highly original solutions to difficult situations. At the same time these feelings will at least be balanced by the warmer and more sympathetic nature of Venus.

Coming days will see broadly similar moods and inclinations with a noticeable rise in emotions associated with aggression and anger. These will be made to seem all the more powerful where there is the consumption of alcohol whose effects will be magnified at this time.

Alert is 7. Moon 66% illuminated.
