This is still very much a New Moon atmosphere with heightened nervous restlessness and the potential for acute anxiety and apprehension that for some may approach crisis level.

Under these circumstances moods may easily tend towards uncomfortable levels of agitation, or erratic behaviour, with strong personal dilemmas that may prove hard to resolve. In addition it may prove difficult to relate to the problems of others with an insular, selfish, or self absorbed outlook or sense of detachment. This may lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness with a withdrawn attitude that may block the attention of others.

Similar to previous days there may be a tendency to acutely sensitive emotions with sharply penetrating impressions, together with a disposition to escapist inclinations that could be to the detriment of a well ordered routine. There may also be a loathing for situations requiring a high degree of responsibility, or an aversion to making important decisions if at all possible. Concentration may also be far from optimal, with a potential for hesitant, unsure, and confused thinking.

As with any immediate New Moon situation there is the possibility of aggressive, argumentative, and irritable inclinations with strong emotions or friction within the family setting.

On the more positive side this current mood atmosphere offers plenty of natural energy with powerful floods of spontaneous emotion that will suit those of a creative nature and also offer exciting or radical solutions to difficult problems.

All in all this is a mood atmosphere of the greatest complexity that is hard to predict with any certainty. Moods are likely to undergo swift fluctuation with strongly varying shades of feeling. These changes will be especially likely at different points of the day, with a wide difference between daylight and night time emotions.

It cannot be too highly stressed that for some this will represent a highly challenging emotional situation with the possibility of extremes of mood and circumstance.
