Mood Alert is still operating to a reduced capacity. However here is a brief outlook for likely moods and emotions for the coming week. Initially this is likely to see very heightened Full Moon emotions with zestful, contentious, and sometimes extremely emotional and demanding mood situations.

The more positive aspects of this mood atmosphere are likely to include a wealth of natural energy that if harnessed to good effect can bring significant benefits and sense of achievement. Towards the middle of the next week however it is likely that a less tense atmosphere will become apparent. However numerous Lunar alignments will add significant spice to moods and feelings, with a roller coaster of emotion with swift fluctuations.

Below is a likely guide to possible moods over this coming period.

10th - 11th December 2011

Still very much a Full Moon atmosphere with heightened anxiety and tension with strong nervous restlessness and apprehension. An easy disposition to irritability, anger, or argumentative and volatile expression may also be apparent. For some moods may veer towards crisis level.

11th - 12th December 2011

Tensions are still likely to be running high with agitated, restless, or turbulent feelings and a poor sense of concentration. Insecurities, doubts, and apprehensions may be strongly felt. Those of a sensitive disposition made find this period especially difficult. On the other hand there will be plenty of natural energy for on going schemes and ventures, though the restless element of this mood atmosphere could make it difficult to put it to the best possible use. Arguments may develop over the merest of provocation, with the potential for irrational and over emotional reactions to even mundane problems and situations.

12 - 13th December 2011

Emotions will continue to be heightened with a restless and agitated outlook. Problems may tend to be exaggerated and once again there may be an over reaction to even trivial daily events and circumstances. Concentration may be less than optimal, and it could prove difficult to focus on the task in hand. This atmosphere is likely to need a fine balance between mental and physical stimulus and activity. At its most positive this will bring added enthusiasm and vigour to thoughts and activities, as well as the possibility of openings towards more broader horizons. More affectionate, but selfish or self indulgent feelings may also be evident.

13th - 14th December 2011

Although tensions will not be quite as strong as previous days there is still likely to be intense nervous energy. For some this may be translated into prodigious output with positive thoughts and ideas. For others it may turn to restless, tense, and apprehensive feelings with a hesitant and wavering attitude. Feelings of insecurity may obstruct forward progress and important decisions may be avoided if at all possible.

14th - 15th December 2011

The tensions of previous days are likely to be less apparent. However moods will have an inclination to inhabit a transitional phase between those of an agitated and intense nature and others of a more sedate, but hesitant and indecisive disposition. Important decisions may be shunned if at all possible, and there may be strong personal dilemmas with problems exaggerated to a considerable extent.

15th -16th December 2011

Once again this period is likely to see a noticeable diminishing in the intensity of moods and feelings compared with previous days. However sensitivities may be running high, with a reflective and sometimes nostalgic outlook. The pressures of Christmas may be an added burden with mounting frustrations and sense of urgency.

16th -17th December 2011

A period of reduced mood intensity, but with some turbulent undertones with the possibility of strong reactions to problems and dilemmas. It may feel harder to feel motivated, and some may feel gripped with feelings of frustration, doubt and insecurity. This may lead to depressional moods and inclinations and for some the added pressures of Christmas may prove a difficult burden.

17th - 18th December 2011

Midway between Full Moon and New Moon this is habitually the so called ‘doldrum’ period. However the Moon is in opposition to Uranus, which is out of the top category of mood unsettling forces. Likely emotional traits include erratic, agitated, or out of character thoughts and behaviour, with the potential for extreme, or drastic reactions to even mundane problems and circumstances. On the other hand there may be galvanic energy for on going schemes and ventures or the possibility of highly creative solutions to problems that may not otherwise have occurred.

This is definitely a period requiring careful attention.
