This is a mood atmosphere capable of extremes of expression with volatile and excitable emotions that for some may reach crisis point.

We are now only days away from the New Moon and inevitably there will be tense nervous restlesness with increased apprehensions, irritability, and the potential for aggressive, or explosive moods and feelings.

The current New Moon atmosphere will also be heightened by the influence of numerous planetary alignments. These may tend to accentuate a tendency towards unusual, out of character, or otherwise bizarre, and even perverse personal thoughts and ideas.

This is also very much a time with a strong disposition towards disordered emotions, erratic behavior, but also the vision to see outside ones normal perspective.

As such this emotional atmosphere offers a chance, whether for better or worse, to embark on a course of change that whether directed inwardly, or outwardly can result in fundamental life changing factors.

At the same time there may be a tendency towards isolation, individualism, and insularity with poor consideration for the needs of others. As a consequence there may be friction within the family setting, as well as a disposition towards argumentative and confrontational attitudes.

Under these circumstances the most trivial of problems may be enough to ignite major disputes and this definitely constitutes a time where restraint and tolerance need to be at their maximum.

Coming days are likely to see a further intensification in moods and emotions with strong, and at times extremely demanding situations that for some will reach crisis level.

On the more positive side this is definitely a mood period capable of prodigious, energetic effort along with a disposition to be able to achieve solutions to problems that may not otherwise have occurred. It also offers the chance to be adventurous and bold in ones personal ambitions. However there may be the tendency to over extend ones capabilities and this may bring heavy consequences (particularly financial) if not balanced by a more prudent attitude.

Exciting, as well as demanding, the next few days will pose a colorful array of emotions that with care may be the launch point towards much broader and rewarding horizons.
