We are now in a period of extremely heightened moods and emotions with intense nervous restlessness that is just a matter of three or four days away from the next New Moon.

What makes this period extraordinary is that it sees one of the most massive alignments of recent times. This features the Moon, Uranus, Venus, and Mercury in opposition to Saturn.

This is a remarkable grouping of planets that is sure to herald equally remarkable events and circumstances. Indeed there is every possibility of major life altering events, both on a personal, global, and environmental level.

Whatever the case this period is likely to see major life changing experiences with thoughts and desires that reach far beyond the ordinary.

Under these circumstances there may be impulses towards drastic or dramatic solutions or else an attachment to ideas that expand boundaries of personal consciousness to a major extent.

Certain to say that moods and emotions will be extremely heightened with intense nervous restlessness as well as a huge desire for change and variety. In addition there may be strong and powerful inclinations that dictate an inner awakening to more rewarding concepts that see balance and stability rocked by more tempestuous and unstable feelings that will challenge ones peace of mind to a significant extent. This may result in a broken link of thoughts that results in confusion, chaos and frustration. It means that yesterday’s great idea may be tomorrow’s forgotten dream and that spontaneous thoughts and impulsive ideas may predominate over a more logical and calculated approach.

The truth is that this is an atmosphere difficult to predict with any great degree of accuracy. It barely has a precedent in recent times, and is sure to provide a bewildering array of feelings that for some may approach crisis level. The best advice is to guard against extremes of mood and reaction. This also extends towards major decisions that should - if possible - be best left for a less turbulent period.

Coming days will see a noticeable heightening in moods and emotions as we come up to the next New Moon. Indeed many have highlighted this period as one likely to bring major earthquakes or increased volcanic activity with an increased risk of natural disasters or unusual weather patterns.

Whatever the case the next week or so will prove extremely interesting with lots to learn from a period of the intensest celestial activity.

Alert is 8. Moon 10% illuminated.
