Although the next 24 hours will see a gradual reduction in the intensity of moods and emotions this still continues to be a mood atmosphere capable of significant challenge.

In addition we are heading towards one of the years most concentrated periods of planetary alignments. As a result there is likely to be a huge contrast of moods with conflicting emotions not easy to predict.

At the present time feelings and emotions may be erratic, agitated, or otherwise deviate strongly from ones ‘normal self.’ There may also be a tendency towards escapism in its limitless forms as well as a daydreaming disposition eating up time with undue haste and rapidity. Important tasks may seem to be left undone, and there may be a taste for altered values, with bizarre or unusual inclinations. These may have limitless boundaries varying from person to person, but few will emerge from this period without having experienced some exposure to new plans, ideas, and states of mind that may not otherwise have occurred.

This period may also have important implications for individual relationships. Differences may be heightened with an insular, individualistic, isolated, or defiant disposition. The paradox is that there may be a strong need for affection, and intimacy, as well as a desire to feel wanted and understood.

With regards to important decisions and choices, this period is one that represents considerable risk and the hazard of ill judged ventures. Over confident emotions may well lead to considerable future consequences, but by the same token the prospect of bolder choices with significant benefits.

In reality the odds are more stacked against rash choices, and life changing decisions that deviate strongly from ones normal path are more likely to go wrong than they go right.

All in all this is an exciting period of change and variety. The more timid and cautious may care to remain unchanged in their routine, but this is definitely a mood to suit an adventurous and daring personality. Indeed the zestful energy of this period will appeal to those for whom the word ‘challenge’ has an especially galvanising effect.

Coming days are likely to see a gradual reduction in mood intensity. However the next weeks will never be short of strong emotional variety that is sure to add immense color to personal, social, as well as political events and happenings.
