Once again this is a mood little changed from previous days with a heightened mood scenario that comes just three or four days short of the Full Moon. Inevitably as with any immediate Full Moon atmosphere there will be tense nervous restlessness with increased apprehension, worry and concern.

Under these circumstances problems may appear magnified and assume undue dimensions. In addition to which there may be a disposition to forceful, aggressive, and confrontational attitudes and behaviour so that the merest spark may be sufficient to ignite major conflict. The potential for this may be made all the more likely where there is the consumption of alcohol whose effects will be rendered all the more powerful at this present time.

The current lead up to the Full Moon is made all the more potent by the ongoing massive alignment featuring the Sun, Venus, Earth and Mars. As we have repeatedly mentioned 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, loving, and more sympathetic nature of Venus, though some confusion and lack of focus is bound to be evident.

It will be seen that this is a complex emotional scenario with conflicting impulses and feelings, where pleasant and welcoming feelings are contrasted by others of a more belligerent nature.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 76% illuminated.
