This period is still very much in what we habitually refer to here as the ‘ doldrums’, that usually brings reduced enthusiasm and flattened emotions with a tendency to depression and lack of confidence. However this month this so called ‘doldrum period’ is heavily influenced by numerous prominent alignments.

In particular we are now at the start of the incredibly powerful alignment between Mars and Uranus, that will be highly influential for the next two weeks or so. This is likely to lead to widespread disruption with energetic, rebellious, and erratic moods and feelings that will have important repercussions for domestic, social; and political events that in certain parts of the world are already in a highly turbulent state.

On a personal level this is likely to lead to strained and tense emotions with an agitated state of mind that for some may approach crisis level.

For the next five days or so some measure of balance will come from the Venus/Neptune alignment, as well as the opposition between the Sun and Saturn.

As mentioned in the previous alert Venus and Neptune will contribute to more delicate and refined emotions with idealistic and sentimental feelings as well as a better sense of harmony and rhythm. However there may also be an easy sense of disillusionment and confusion with a disposition to self deception, deceit or dishonesty.

The Sun/Saturn opposition will dispose to a more limited and restricted mental outlook with more calculated and disciplined moods and feelings.

It cannot be too highly stressed that this is a complex mood situation with contrasting feelings that may to some extent cancel each other out, but there can be no avoiding the fact that we are now in one of the most complex mood situations for several years.

Alert is 7.5. Moon 45% illuminated.
