Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, May 29th:

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo until 10:51am EDT. Until then, we are generous with our time/services, and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

Monday at 5:46am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last a little over 5 hours until 10:51am EDT. Use this intuitive time to balance head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition.

It’s an excellent time for connecting with others and being of service. You may also want to talk to your pets or engage in more spiritual conversations that can also support your physical well-being.

As always, with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time.

Monday at 10:51am EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday evening (May 31st). The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time as we seek the approval of others.

We want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.

We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No”   One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, we are invited to make some more internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to focus our own energy bodies and take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative goals. What do you recognize works best for you when you get in touch with your intuitive, more creative side? What does spiritual self-mastery mean to you? (Moon in Libra quincunxes Saturn in Pisces, exact at 12:18am EDT)

Tuesday, May 30th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day (see Monday late morning for details).

Tuesday early morning,  if we are awake already, we may feel rather social and aware of our need for mental stimulation. So, if you are already up and about, do your best to have stimulating conversations — and allow for open-minded discussions with win-win outcomes. (Moon in Libra trines the Sun in Gemini, exact at 3:39am EDT) 

Tuesday afternoon,  we are invited to make some internal adjustments: on the one hand, we may feel the need to connect with others and be polite, diplomatic, or agreeable — but on the other hand, we may also want to communicate our preferences and think about how we can honor ourselves — our physical & material needs and wants (Moon in Libra quincunxes Mercury in Taurus, exact at 2:50pm EDT)

Tuesday late evening, we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies — on the one hand, taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals while being assertive (in a holistic way) out there in the world — and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others.

Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach toward my “human persona” made for more fulfilling connections with others? (Moon in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries, exact at 10:54pm EDT)

 

Wednesday, May 31st:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 8:29pm EDT (see Monday late morning for details).

Wednesday until midnight EDT is your last chance to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for the upcoming Forecasting Forum, live on Friday, June 2nd, at 5pm EDT.

PLEASE NOTE we will investigate the upcoming Grand Cross in the Fixed signs involving Venus, Jupiter, Pluto & the Moon Nodes: in Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius (at its strongest on June 5th!). How will this show up for you? What area of life will be most affected? Join me live or sign up for the mp4 video presentation.

To ask a question in advance, please email me by June 2nd at 3pm EDT,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it.

Wednesday late morning, at 10:53am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 9 hours, until 7:45pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. You might feel the need both to stay within your safety zone and connect and collaborate with others — stretch a little, as best you can.

Make space for receiving nurturing support from others — or for taking care of yourself — and also for connecting and collaborating whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. Be kind to yourself and others if your needs do not perfectly align.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning until the evening ahead of time. 

Wednesday around 3:11pm EDT, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase ends. We no longer need to look back in order to learn or share something new, buy or sell something different, or make new connections.

As you may recall, on May 14th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned the Mercury Shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)

The good news is this Shadow phase ends this afternoon when Mercury reaches 15º36′ of Taurus. This means we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets — or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing, and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.

Wednesday evening, at 8:29pm EDT, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Friday night/ Saturday very early morning. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.

The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.

The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies.

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this placement, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio — and it is currently transiting through Aquarius, making this a great time to transform our visions for humanity and our future on this planet — and to empower ourselves and others within our communities (locally or online).

It’s also a great time to dig deeper into our various networks and connections to like-minded people; so as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations. Does participation in your current groups or networks feel empowering or disempowering? Do I feel a deep emotional alignment with like-minded people in my life? Am I allowing myself to hear the deepest calling of my Soul?

Ask yourself: Where am I looking to create more empowerment in my life? What about the lives of others? How might a self-expressed and courageously heartfelt approach serve my communities and foster better collaborations?

Use this time to create deeper, more empowering emotional connections with like-minded people, especially if you are feeling a disconnect with other networks or affiliations out there in the world. Remember: Love expands us, others, and life. Fear paralyzes!

 

Thursday, June 1st:

Thursday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Wednesday evening for details).

Are you registered for the Forecasting Forum tomorrow, June 2nd? Either because you are a Star Member or because you have chosen to register for this month only? Ask a question in advance, email me by June 2nd at 3pm EDT,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart. Questions are answered in the order in which they are received.

Thursday afternoon, a somewhat challenging Mars/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 3:31pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday evening on; it will be strong until Saturday morning. This combo contributes to feeling either a lack of physical energy or a need to focus on our inner commitment toward spiritual sovereignty.

This aspect feels “internal” — inner unease and awkwardness — and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness if we’re to see what needs adjusting. Too much work, too many external commitments, or too many activities could leave us feeling de-energized right now.

We create our own limits; slowing and quieting down helps us see this. If we have a better sense of time, we can do less and achieve more — and we can do this as soon as we manage our commitments and start to use our judgment for discernment rather than “compare and despair”.

Could you let go, just for now, of wanting to rank things in order? Could you let go, just for now, of wanting to be in control? Might slowing down and turning inward give you the result that you are looking for?

Might it be possible that showing gratitude towards others and opening your heart might lead to less stress or pressure?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-8 degrees of Leo or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Capricorn (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Saturn rules Capricorn).

Thursday evening, Jupiter aligns with the North Node in 3.5 degrees of Taurus, exact at 8:43pm EDT. We started to feel this alignment from May 20th on; it will be strong until June 13th. We are invited to make a conscious effort when it comes to the perspectives and attitudes we have or have had up until now toward our relationship with the physical plane.

We are advised to be more in touch with the wisdom of our own body, more attuned to the intelligence of nature and what feels natural, and more aware of our intrinsic value (from birth).

Ask yourself: What perspective shift might bring a healthier experience and honoring of my body? Or my physical reality?

What is my current attitude toward my value in the world? Do I reject or hoard material abundance? Do I see material abundance as a good or bad influence on people? Do I see it as a burden? Unattainable? Do I give it too much or not enough of my attention?

What meaning do I ascribe to all things physical?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius (Jupiter rules Sagittarius).

 

Friday, June 2nd:

Friday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Wednesday evening for details).

Friday evening, a harmonious Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:42pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on, and it will remain strong until Sunday evening. This aspect makes for a very creative and beautiful time; music, art, movies, and theater are in high demand. Spiritual endeavors are easily shared with others.

We might not have the best boundaries in our relationships, socializing, or money… but we sure as hell know how to enjoy ourselves. We connect to others in a compassionate, sweet, loving way; we are more likely to feel romantic.

Our intuition and instincts are strongly supported here too. Trusting and opening up to others becomes easier; we give ourselves permission to receive love and emotional support. As best as you can, let all feelings flow.

Ask yourself: Could I permit myself to receive love and emotional support from familiar sources? Is there anything from my past or relationships from the past that I am ready to release or let go of?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-28 degrees of Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).

Friday later in the evening, at 8:51pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 4 hours, until 1:03am EDT (Saturday very early morning).

Use this intuitive time to connect with yourself and loved ones on a deep level. As best as you can, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you. Most of all, allow yourself to be vulnerable and connect with trusted people around deep emotional issues stemming from the past. Baby steps and a gentle approach are best.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening and Friday night ahead of time.

Friday night/Saturday very early morning, at 1:03am EDT, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until next week, Monday very early morning (June 5th). We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.

Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Taurus, making this a great time to explore our physical reality and comforts. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your physical needs — and get excited about new ways of experiencing abundance in your life.

Ask yourself: What road might lead to a closer connection to honoring and appreciating the physical world — in general, and more specifically, my own (my body, my money, my stuff)? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards my finances?

What personal beliefs about my own value am I now ready to explore or go beyond? Could I allow myself to have faith while exploring the physical world from a new perspective?

Use this time to embrace your self-worth, allow yourself to see beauty everywhere, and value yourself exactly as you are and as you are not. When you honor your own values and preferences, you are honoring life itself! What you conclude in the name of self-love, others will benefit from it in the end.

This also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact Saturday late evening). More on that tomorrow…

 

Saturday, June 3rd:

Saturday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday night for details).

Saturday late evening at 11:42pm EDT, the Full Moon in 13 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. We started to feel the build-up towards this Full Moon from the moment the Moon entered Sagittarius on Friday night. 

For the next two weeks, we seek balance as we become more aware of something that needs to be brought into alignment or integrated. The balance in question is between our mental processes — symbolized by Gemini — and our quest for a larger truth or meaning (linked to Sagittarius). 

To learn more about this month’s Full Moon and if you are a Member of my online community, please click here to watch my Full Moon video.

Just to give you an overview:

* The Moon in Sagittarius makes several aspects in this Full Moon chart, as does Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius.
* Venus is getting ready to change signs from Cancer to Leo (on June 5th), following in Mars’ footsteps.
* Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is conjunct Uranus in Taurus.
* Saturn in Pisces will start to slow down (station, and is thus exalted) from June 6th on.

More about the specifics in a moment, but one thing to remember: Full Moons are always times of awareness and culmination. We see things we have not seen before and get to make changes if we don’t like what we see.

So think back to the New Moon phase that started on May 19th: What seeds were planted then? What has “sprouted” since? 

Before we talk about all of the aspects of this Full Moon, let’s first talk about the Sagittarian-Gemini polarity:

At its highest vibration, Sagittarius shows us a broader perspective, which has us looking beyond facts and learned knowledge to our direct life experiences and the wisdom gained. It’s all about seeking a higher truth and meaning for life’s challenges — a philosophy that would help us understand life’s trials and tribulations.

So that’s Sagittarius’s highest vibration — what of its shadow side?

When we suppress this energy inside of us, we become unquestioningly attached to our belief systems and the stories we tell ourselves about life — and therefore self-righteous — perhaps we even persecute those who differ in their point of view. We are also more easily susceptible to excesses of all kinds.

Now let’s look at Gemini: at its highest vibration, this sign helps us… To read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s Full Moon, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-15 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

 

Sunday, June 4th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday night for details).

Sunday afternoon, a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 20.5 degrees of Taurus becomes exact at 3:40pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; and it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (June 6th). An important insight is coming through — and we want to turn this insight into something real — something tangible, practical, and beautiful.

We might find ourselves part of some really unusual conversations, our minds could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel excited by these fresh ideas and insights.

It’s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t value our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity, and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.

Computers and electronics may suddenly become important. We’ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions and stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you without shaking you to the core  

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-24 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Aquarius  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Sunday late evening, at 11:24pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 4 hours, until 3:31am EDT (Monday early morning). Use this intuitive time to honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.

Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night until Monday very early morning ahead of time.

 

And…

A heads up for next Monday (June 5th): the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius and VoC until 3:31am EDT. At that time, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning (June 7th). At 9:46am EDT, Venus changes signs from sensitive, protective Cancer to fun-loving, extroverted Leo, where it will journey until Oct. 9th — an unusually long time due to its upcoming Retrograde phase (in late July-early September). In the early afternoon, a Venus/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 12:05pm EDT.  We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday morning (June 3rd) on, and it will remain strong until Thursday (June 8th). More about all the details in next week’s Forecast…
