This current mood atmosphere sees a steady rise in tensions, anxiety and increased nervous restlessness. This comes as we commence the immediate rise to the next New Moon in around four days time.

Inevitably this will mean a period of heightened awareness and perception with accelerated feelings that for some could prove challenging. Under these conditions concentration could be less than optimal and decisions may not benefit from the best of consideration.

In addition there may be turbulent inclinations with intense emotional dilemmas that for some may approach crisis point. There may also be a disposition to lowered self esteem and confusion with important personal questions, or an awkward sense of well being. Doubts and insecurities may abound, but so too more expansive possibilities that invite changes of a life altering nature.

This is very much an atmosphere governed by a knife edge potential: On the one hand capable of lowered and flattened emotions, and on the other the possibility to plan and aspire on a level never previously imagined. Energy levels may fluctuate but this atmosphere will stimulate profound inner contrasts, and may lead to fatigue and tiredness.

There may also be a desire to take the edge off the atmosphere through drugs or drink, and there may be a strong element of escapism. As a result ones daily routine may be subject to distracting influences as other more attractive alternatives become hard to resist.

All in all this is a challenging mood environment. Its more positive aspects offer significant change, but are reliant on substantial persistence and determination. On the other hand the more negative aspects see a quagmire of uncertainty and chaos with a swarm of difficult emotions.
Coming days will see yet further intensification of moods and feelings, and also a series of Lunar alignments that will add significant color to the days ahead.
