27th - 28th August 2010

Today sees a massive alignment involving the Moon, Jupiter, Uranus, Earth and Saturn. Inevitably this will result in a highly complex set of emotions with contrasting moods and feelings that in some respects may tend to cancel each other out.

For example Jupiter is likely to create exuberant, generous, humorous and expansive feelings with a vibrant and fun loving attitude. On the other hand this will be contrasted by the more demure, restrained and calculated nature of Saturn that may tend to cancel some of the wilder impulses of Jupiter. However this may be at the expense of severe doubts, uncertainty and the unnecessary pessimism that Saturn is capable of producing.

One of the key factors of this current alert period is the alignment of the Moon and Uranus. Frequent visitors to this site will know that this is out of the top category of mood unsettling alignments. This can result in feelings that deviate very strongly from the norm with eccentric and out of character emotions as well as agitated and unsettling feelings that may be difficult to come to terms with. In addition there may be drastic or dramatic reactions to even mundane problems and difficulties, with the likelihood of friction and upheaval within the family setting.

It should also be remembered that we are no more than three days beyond the Full Moon and although not quite as potent as before, its energy will still be capable of intense nervous restlessness, anxiety and tension. There may also be a disposition to anger and volatile outbursts in a finely balanced atmosphere with many different shades.

For example the Mars/Venus alignment is still highly influential. Although now past its peak it still contributes to widely contrasting emotions with the high energy, passion, and impatience of Mars balanced by the gentler more affectionate and intimate nature of Venus. This will have a determinative effect on relationships bringing some people closer and pushing others further apart. Either way it will form a testing period for relationships with lasting benefits and consequences.

On the more positive side there is now plenty of raw energy for on going schemes and ventures with the potential for original and creative thoughts and ideas that will pave the way towards plans and possibilities that might not otherwise have occurred.

All in all this is a highly complex mood with widely contrasting emotions and the potential for extremes of mood and experience.

Alert is 8.5. Moon 94% illuminated.
