For reasons beyond our control we were unable to update the Mood Alert over the last few days.

We are now in the immediate run up to the next New Moon which comes on the 15th of the month. Inevitably this will cause tense nervous restlessness with increased anxiety and tension as well as raised apprehension and awareness. In addition there will be a notable chance of aggressive, forceful, and confrontational behaviour with the likelihood of needless arguments and general friction.

We are also entering into a particularly concentrated period of planetary alignments that are sure to make the week ahead one of sharply fluctuating moods and feelings. For example today sees the start of a week long alignment involving the Sun, Mercury and Uranus.

Likely mood traits include powerful mental and nervous activity with an unsettled disposition and a strong desire for change. This will combine with equally powerful inclinations towards eccentric, unusual, or out of character emotions with a disruptive or rebellious nature. This may lead to drastic or dramatic moods and feelings with the potential for highly unsettled and agitated emotions.

On the other hand there will be a tendency towards highly original thinking with unique solutions to problems that may not have otherwise occurred: This, coupled with a galvanic degree of energy will ensure that coming days do not lack a dynamic force of zestfulness that could pave the way towards new and more rewarding horizons. Yet again this atmosphere may lead to an over confident and arrogant attitude with the possibility of mishaps, accidents, or the expenditure of large sums of money on dubious ventures.

This alignment may also lead to eccentric and extremist ideas filled with unsettled feelings that may even tend towards the perverse side of the emotional spectrum.

It should be appreciated that this is a highly complex mood situation that in the days ahead is set to become even more complex in one of the years most concentrated periods of planetary alignments.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 13% illuminated.
