This is still likely to be a highly animated emotional setting that comes just days after the New Moon.

Likely mood traits may include heightened nervous restlessness and tension with the possibility of extremes of emotion that could approach crisis level;.

On the other hand this mood setting offers a broad spectrum of feelings and experiences that will vary quite considerably. These are likely to alternate between agitated, uncertain, and insecure emotions to those of a more fun loving, adventurous, and spirited outlook. In addition there may be a strong disposition towards escapism in its limitless forms, and keeping to a well ordered routine may prove difficult.

This is very much a mood atmosphere that binds to the senses. Emotions will be acutely experienced and accentuate ones existing state of mind to a significant extent.

Under these circumstances it may be hard to keep track of the various impulses, impressions, premonitions and influences that pass through ones mind. However the collective outcome is likely to store thoughts and ideas that may later prove pivotal in ones future course of development.

Another prime aspect of this current mood scenario is an opening to deeper emotional spiritual, philosophical, and mystical values, or at least the questions that put these into starker focus at some later date. Creatively this is likely to be a time of rich potential and those of an artistic nature may come to feel especially inspired.

All in all this is a period of wide contrasts capable of exaggerated emotions with sensitive and delicate moods, as well as a confusion of thoughts that some may find difficult to contend with.

Coming days will see broadly similar moods but with a gradual lessening in the intensity of emotion, that is likely to be especially noticeable towards the middle of the coming week.
