A period of extremely heightened planetary activity today became even more complex today with the addition of the Moon to an already massive planetary alignment. This includes Venus, Mars, Saturn, Earth, the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus. and constitutes the largest coming together of planets we have ever had to report upon.

Added to this there is the alignment involving Neptune, Earth and Mercury which effectively means that every planet in the Solar System is in some way aligned with the Earth in a truly unique situation.

Making an accurate mood prediction from such a complex celestial gathering is very difficult. In general however this will be a period filled with heady and challenging moods and feelings with strong emotions tempered by more affectionate and well meaning inclinations. At the same time there may be raised apprehensions, doubts, and insecurity along with strong nervous restlessness that could make it difficult to settle.

Powerful contrasts will be a dominant feature with argumentative, belligerent and aggressive feelings balanced by more understanding and considerate feelings, but also a degree of confusion, lack of concentration and a whirl of moods and feelings that for some may be difficult to come to terms with.

Today also sees the alignment of the Moon and Uranus. This is out of the top category of mood unsettling influences. Under these circumstances there may be highly agitated and turbulent feelings with the possibility of friction and upheaval within the family setting.

Alignments of the Moon and Uranus are also associated with emotions that depart strongly from the norm with eccentric, out of character moods and actions with the possibility of drastic or dramatic responses to even mundane problems. As such this is a mood setting that needs the most careful of handling and could pose substantial difficulties within a very short time. It should be stressed that even the most convivial of settings may suddenly turn nasty as there will be an extra degree of touchiness that may take offence at the merest provocation.

Once again it cannot be too highly emphasised that this is a mood atmosphere of an intensity that few will ever have encountered and allowances should be made for strong emotions both in themselves and in others: Likewise for strange or unusual mood traits that may reveal a previously unseen side of ones personality.

On the more positive side this atmosphere will offer plenty of natural energy, ideas and inspiration as well as the impetus for life changing plans, though final decisions are best left for a quieter mood period.

Whether for better or for worse this atmosphere will definitely shape ones future path to a considerable extent and considerable care should be taken in the choices one makes.
