Once again this is a significantly less strident mood than was the case for most of last week. The effects of the Full Moon are beginning to dissipate, as also the influence of an intense Solar wind that buffeted the planets atmosphere for four or five days.

Nevertheless there is still enough nervous energy to cause problems. This may result in a tense and restless disposition with an over alert sense of awareness and perception, as well as an over active imagination. Under these circumstances problems and difficulties may be magnified and contribute to an unsettled atmosphere with feelings of uncertainty and being ill at ease.

The Mars/Venus alignment still remains influential though now very much on the wane. For very close to two weeks this has brought a contrast of moods 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 together whilst pushing others further apart. Either way it will form a testing period for relationships with lasting benefits and consequences for some time to come.

Coming days should see a steady decline in the intensity of moods and emotions though this may be at the expense of more depressive, hesitant and insecure feelings with pessimism and lowered self confidence that may be prone to boredom or thoughts of futility. On the other hand those willing and able to relax and take things easy may relish the unhurried nature of these coming days, that will be most evident towards the end of the week.

Alert is 8. Moon 75% illuminated.
