We are now entering the so called ‘doldrum period’ where moods and feelings may be governed by a lowered sense of enthusiasm and inspiration.

This ‘doldrum period’ comes midway between the New Moon and Full Moon, or vice versa. This can lead to a lowered sense of confidence and enthusiasm with a pessimistic, or lowered emotional state of well being with significant doubts and misgivings. Add to this notable fears and apprehensions and this is a time to be wary of feeling low and depressed where everything may just seem like too much effort.

Under these circumstances it may feel hard to summon enthusiasm for even ones favourite pursuits and activities.

Not surprisingly ones daily routine may be subject to considerable indifference so that tasks go unfinished or subject to substantial delay. Indeed those on a tight deadline will come to feel especially pressured whereas those able to take things at their own leisure will benefit from these rather undemanding conditions that will be perfect for rest and relaxation.

Escapist tendencies will also be well to the fore with time consuming temptations that may prove hard to resist.

Alert is 6.5. Moon 45% illuminated.
