Ovulation means that an egg is released from one of your ovaries and will be traveling down one of your fallopian tubes. At the end of the tube, it will go into the uterus, where it will attach the uterine wall if it's been fertilized.
In short, the egg will be released into a fallopian tube and will begin a journey down to the uterus. During this journey it will be fertilized by sperm (if sexual activity occurs and all) and will continue traveling to the uterus, where it will then implant into the uterine wall to multiply and form a baby.
Here is a diagram of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes so you understand how those are laid out in your body:

During ovulation, women tend to secrete more discharge. The discharge is slightly thicker than at other times during the woman's monthly cycle. The reason the discharge is thicker and an increased amount is because this is the woman's peak fertility time. The woman's body temperature may rise very slightly during this time, making her body the best environment for sperm to survive in.
This means that the sperm has a better swimming environment to reach the released egg. Sperm also live in this environment much longer than other time of the month. As a note, sperm have been found alive and well in a woman's body a full 2 weeks after her last sexual encounter!
Ovulation happens, roughly, midway through a woman's menstrual cycle. This means that if she has her period exactly ever 28 days then on day 14 or so (it can be a few days early or late, of course) she will be ovulating, or releasing an egg from her ovary. If the woman's cycle is not exactly a certain amount of days (like ALWAYS 28 days exactly she has her period) then there is no way she can even guess when she'll be ovulating.
Again, ovulation is the peak fertility time so it's important to always have pregnancy prevention since you cannot pinpoint when you are ovulating.
Some women may become slightly more interested in sex during this time but there is no guarantee to that. All bodies are different so there is no definite mood during this time--the woman may be irritable, suffer from headaches, have an increased libido, etc. There are a lot of changes going on during ovulation so the body can easily be stressed out.
I hope I've answered your question clearly. If you have any more questions like this please feel free to ask me! :)

Ovulation is before your period. Your body releases and egg and this is the time when if you want to have a baby, you get to it.
Natural instincs would make you want to have sex so the human race keeps going.
