This is very much a transitional mood period. Under these circumstances there may be a slender division between reserved, limited, and pessimistic emotions and those of an altogether more vibrant or aggressive nature.

For some there may an inclination towards hesitant, doubtful, and apprehensive feelings with poor self confidence and a wandering indecisive outlook.

Indeed there may be considerable dilemmas attached to important decisions with a tendency to shirk ones responsibilities and resort to escapist remedies.

Confusions or frustrations may abound. It means there is the possibility that the great idea one had yesterday may seem less than attractive only a short while later. It indicates how fickle this current emotional climate really is. At the base of it lies the potential for eccentric, unusual, or out of character states of mind, with the possibility for drastic or dramatic deviations from ones normal state of being.

Exciting or innovative ideas of a life changing nature may prove tempting, but the timidity to carry them forward could render them powerless.

This is also likely to prove a delicate period for financial prudency. Some may feel enticed to expend large sums on speculative ventures, at the same time that others may care to rein in on their personal out goings in a highly conservative manner.

Overall, the complexity of this current mood atmosphere cannot be underestimated. Strong contrasts are sure to exist and likely to become more apparent in the days ahead as we begin the rise to the next New Moon on January 23rd. In the meantime there may be a strong disposition to unusual tastes and values with an altered psychology that for better or worse will open inner pathways to newer and more expansive states of mind.

All in all this is likely to be a mood atmosphere that can fulfil and enrich ones potential in the same manner that others may feel challenged beyond their limits. Indecisive as well as determinative, it will appeal to those of a bolder nature, and invite the possibility of enlarged horizons.
