Moods and emotions will be very much on edge with agitated and turbulent feelings as we come to the Full Moon in a few days time. This means there will be considerably more aggressive and forceful feelings with an almost attractive urge towards conflict if only for the sake of it. As a result there may be a considerable urge to want to let go with emotions as feelings build up - in some cases - to an almost intolerable extent.

Today will also be extremely more sharpened as it sees the alignment between the Moon and Mars. This will accentuate the current pre Full Moon atmosphere so that confrontational and divisive feelings will be well to the fore. On the other hand it will ensure a passionate and zestful mood environment with powerful energy that will be of great use to on going schemes and ventures. However it may prove difficult to concentrate with confused, chaotic, and highly sensitive mood inclinations that may be to the detriment of a well ordered routine.

As mentioned in previous alerts the Sun is now in alignment with Jupiter. This will add significant balance against some of the more strident effects of this Full Moon period. Likely mood traits include expansive, exaggerated, and overtly emotional mood impulses with more optimistic, good humoured and generous feelings with the risk of careless, reckless, and over confident gestures. In turn this may lead to needless accidents, mishaps, or large financial expenditure on trivial or frivolous gestures that may later be the source of considerable regret.

Essentially it means that decisions may be filled with an unreasonably inflated optimism so that major choices may not benefit from the best of consideration. Also likely are feelings of conceit or false superiority that may lead to serious misjudgements and ill conceived plans and ideas.

We are also just into the start of a seven day alignment involving Mercury and Neptune. This will lead to sensitivity of mental expression with easily disturbed emotions, though also contributing to intuitive, idealistic, and impressionable inclinations. Less agreeable will be a disposition to confusion and absent-mindedness with vague fears and imaginings.

Once again this constitutes a highly complex emotional atmosphere with notable strains and stresses. Unpredictable and varied, it needs careful attention as feelings can easily lose all sense of perspective.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 89% illuminated.
