This represents an extremely complex mood atmosphere with a potential for intense moods and feelings. Under these circumstances there is the possibility for considerable contrast of emotions. These may vary from an ultra sensitive, powerful, and erratic nature to delicate, refined, and reflective moods with a nostalgic and sentimental outlook.

On the other hand there are likely to be other more turbulent and agitated inclinations, with the likelihood of out of character feelings as well as drastic or dramatic solutions to mundane and trivial situations. In many respects this is not an easily predictable mood atmosphere. Contrasts and frustrations may abound, but so too the energy and awareness to perceive beyond the ordinary.

For the strong willed this may offer opportunities, imagination, and ideas of a highly forceful nature. These may extend towards eccentric or highly inventive plans and ventures and the disposition to think outside the loop. For others there may be fragile, uncertain, and apprehensive inclinations that veer towards disruption, confusion, escapism, and lack of focus.

The dangers of this period highlights behaviour that tends towards over confident, or reckless decisions - particularly financial ones - that may have unpleasant reprecussions for ones immediate future.

As such it cannot be too highly stressed that radical changes to ones lifestyle should be avoided if at all possible until balanced by the influence of a different mood atmosphere. On the other hand there is also a definite possibility that life changes made at this time may bring beneficial changes, but the gamble involved is one that should not be underestimated.

All in all this is a vastly challenging and confusing mood atmosphere. Thoughts and feelings may swiftly alternate between one state and another and gathering sense from the maze of impressions that come your way may prove difficult. One escape route may be through the sense of what is good and beautiful. Music may prove the ideal outlet and creative pursuits will be well favoured.

With regard to personal relationships there may be a strange division between aloofness and the need for affection or the desire to make others feel loved and wanted. In effect this is an emotional atmosphere of extremely wide proportions that brings challenges but also an expansive degree of awareness likely to initate much wanted inspiration for future plans and ideas.
