True Belonging 

This week’s headline items: a New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact late Monday afternoon/early evening; Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces late on Thursday evening; a second Mars-Pluto opposition in Leo-Aquarius becomes exact on Thursday night. Starting on Saturday, we can begin to take action on our New Moon Intentions.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for almost 6 hours), Thursday late evening (for almost 11 hours), and Sunday late morning (for 4.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Our first Forecasting Forum of 2025 is coming up next week, Saturday, Jan. 11th at 9:30am PST/12:30pm EST/5:30pm London-time — This webinar is titled: “Looking Forward — Looking Back”.

We will cover everything we need to complete that got underway in 2024, and all the planetary changes coming in 2025!
And there are a few…

Lots of interesting shifts! Lots of exalted degrees in 2025 (0º and 29º of a sign)

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 30th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, realistic and goal-oriented Capricorn all day; it will journey there until Wednesday early morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious, which can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges, requiring structure and planning. When you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes even more important to us.

As best as you can during this time, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do.”

Monday at 5:27pm EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 9.5 degrees of Capricorn, launching a new Moon cycle. Not only is this the second New Moon within a calendar month, it is also this year’s 2nd New Moon in Capricorn; the first was on Jan. 11th.

New Moons are good times to reflect on our lives and set new intentions. This is an excellent time to go within and plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days and beyond.

Since this New Moon will take place only 30 hours before the New Year begins, this year’s New Year’s resolutions will be particularly powerful! As long as you don’t make them during the Moon void of course…

Get the best and most potent times for doing New Moon Intentions or New Year’s resolutions below!

With the New Moon occurring in Capricorn, we are directed to investigate our relationship with authority, not just “authority” in the external sense, but also our “own authority”.

The next section of this forecast will dig into this in more detail — you may also want to watch my New Moon video.

The highest vibration of Capricorn is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, setting realistic goals, and healthy boundaries. So, the next 28 days are perfect for working on these areas.

Since Capricorn represents the quest for self-mastery on the physical plane, some helpful questions you can ask yourself include:

What is my relationship to self-mastery? Am I going about things in a realistic way? What does “setting healthy boundaries” look like to me? How realistic am I about my limitations? Other people’s?

The most prominent themes of 2024’s final New Moon are… To read some or all of article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s New Moon, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 7-12 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. 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).

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for the month’s Moon cycle — the perfect time is after the New Moon becomes exact (but not during a Moon void of course). You can also set your New Year’s resolutions at that time.

So this month, there are two best and most potent times to set intentions — the first would be any time between 5:27pm on Monday evening, Dec. 30th and 1:02am on Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning, Jan. 1st — and the second would be between 5:50am and 5:27pm on Wednesday, Jan. 1st (EST/New York time).

If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Page and following me on Twitter or Instagram as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions.

December 23rd – 29th

Be Centered in Your Spiritual Core 

This week’s headline items: the Sun in Capricorn squares the Moon Nodes in Aries-Libra on Monday morning; Chiron’s Station intensifies on Monday night and it remains highly exalted all week; a long-standing T-Square with Saturn as the Focal Point will be exact on Thursday evening; the Balsamic Moon phase begins late on Thursday evening when the Moon reaches almost 21 degrees of Scorpio; Chiron comes to a halt on Sunday afternoon, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase. Sunday will also be the last day before the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for almost 21.5 hours), Friday late morning (for almost 5.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for 5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Read my article about giving the perfect gift for each zodiac sign. If seasonal gifts are not your thing, feel free to read this article with someone’s birthday or an anniversary in mind ==> For my seasoned astrologers, read the bottom part of the article as well!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 23rd: 

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day; it will journey there until Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 25th). The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic.

We are more polite now as we seek the approval of others. We want to maintain equal, fair relationships and are thus more open to compromises and negotiations.

The next two days are an excellent 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 an excellent time for anything related to the visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact later today).

Monday morning around 6am EST, the Sun in Capricorn squares the Moon Nodes in Aries-Libra. We started to feel this build last Friday (Dec. 20th); it will remain strong until this Wednesday. This indicates a turning point on our journey — collectively and individually speaking.

We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn to become more aware of our authority in the world. Doing what’s “right” is important to us now, but it may not always align with what we truly want for ourselves. 

Ask yourself: If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while considering other people’s needs?

How could I create 5% more balance in my life? Could I be 5% more aware of how honest and accepting I am in my relationships?

The empty leg (for the Sun’s Square to the Moon Nodes) lies in Cancer; we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: love and acceptance, safety and security.

We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people — as best as we can, of course.

Ask yourself: How could I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet wholly independent? What role does inner safety (physical & emotional) play in this?

How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)?

How might nurturing myself support my connection to the world at large? How might it support my career ambitions? What if self-care was a first step toward meaningful achievement?

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-4 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may feel the effects of this aspect more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).

Monday evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:46pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday very early morning (Dec. 22nd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Dec. 25th). It’s an opportunity to heal our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.

We get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being “good enough”. Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving ourselves and others.

As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, others, and those past experiences that wounded you.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).

Monday night, Chiron’s Station intensifies at 19 degrees of Aries. Since Chiron comes to a halt on Dec. 29th; we will feel the effects of this intensified Station phase until January 4th. As mentioned in last week’s forecast, Chiron’s energies are more exalted during this period.

Chiron is the Wounded Healer; in Aries, our attention is turned toward our physical and sexual wounds and any wounding around our self-identity.

Chiron represents our inner insecurities, those self-conscious and wounded places. Chiron also represents the inner wound of abandonment and our need to “make it on our own.”

What limitations are you aware of regarding the “traditional masculine”? Can you own that you (regardless of gender) have experienced these limitations within yourself? Have you experienced these limitations through others? Can you allow yourself to feel the pain and shame connected to those experiences?

What might be possible if you could get in touch with your humanity? Your insecurities? Your pain? Your shame? Could you allow yourself to embrace all of you?

We are invited to approach these wounds holistically, to heal them so that others are healed. This can be accomplished very simply and naturally when we work with the true beauty and strength of this energy: Compassion.

Having compassion for our own wounds and bringing healing compassion for similar wounds in others ultimately helps us in our own healing process, as it connects us more fully to our own and other people’s humanity.

What physical or sexual wounding could you now acknowledge? Where are your insecurities around personal goals or being a leader in your unique way?

What needs your compassion or even your love? What needs to heal? What might a non-judgmental (and unique) approach in this area of your life bring to that healing journey?

In our last Forecasting Forum, we also discussed the Chiron Station in Aries in relation to our Birth Charts. Click here to get my webinar on the subject – titled: “Our Ancestral Wounds – Chiron Exalted!”  We talked about how we can heal and help others heal in turn. I highly recommend watching this 98 min. webinar.

Those with personal planets and points (ASC or MC) in 17-21 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn will feel this station more strongly.

December 16th – 22nd

The Greatest Perspective Shift of All 

This week’s headline items: Three planets end their various Station phases this week: Neptune, Mars, and Mercury. We start with Neptune on Wednesday (the planet remains in direct motion); we continue with Mars on Thursday (it stays Retrograde); finally, Mercury on Friday (it stays direct.) In other headlines, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn early on Saturday, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and a last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact late Sunday afternoon/early evening.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 5 hours), Thursday night/Friday very early morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday morning (for a little over 5.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know…

If you missed my webinar “Our Ancestral Wounds – Chiron Exalted” from last week, not to worry, you can still get access to it here.

**Star Members** already have access to the mp4-video recording of this webinar (please check your email).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 16th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day; it will journey there until Tuesday evening. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and therefore, our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.

Self-care is key for the next two and a half days!

Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar, and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday morning until 10:35am EST, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges…

On the one hand, the desire to collaborate with like-minded people who share our vision for a better future — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 8:34am EST)

Monday 10:35am until 4:35pm EST, is a great time to focus on spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and to lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, focus on the here and now, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. (Moon in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces, exact at 1:34pm EST)

Monday late evening from 8:15pm EST on, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:14pm EST)

December 9th – 15th

by Sonja Francis | Dec 8, 2024 | Astrological Forecasts

What Has Emerged? 

This week’s headline items: Mars and Neptune remain exalted throughout the week. On Wednesday, Mercury begins to slow down as it prepares to come to a halt on Sunday afternoon, marking the end of its Retrograde phase and the start of its post-Shadow phase. Additionally, Chiron will start to slow down on Saturday in preparation for its halt on December 29th, which will also signify the end of its Retrograde phase. A Full Moon in Gemini will occur early Sunday morning.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 5 hours), Tuesday early evening (for almost 18 hours), Friday morning (for almost 5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for almost 5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Our next Forecasting Forum is this Friday, Dec. 13th at 2pm PST/5pm EST/10pm London time. We will examine our ancestral wounding in connection with Chiron’s Station phase at 19º of Aries!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 9th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 8:38am EST. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But that idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities.

Monday at 3:35am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 5 hours until 8:38am EST. Use this brief intuitive time to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best. Resting and allowing ourselves to go with the flow also works.

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 Monday early until late morning ahead of time.

Monday at 8:38am EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately. Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time.

In general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Monday, from 11:30am until 3:33pm EST, we have an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and move a project forward that is dear to us. It’s time for action: What small (or even large) action steps could you take? Or is it a question of “who” rather than “how”? (Moon in Aries sextiles Venus in Aquarius, exact at 1:33pm EST)

Monday evening, 5pm – 9pm EST, we will feel an urge to be creative and self-expressed. As best as you can, keep your heart wide open and have some fun!(Moon in Aries trines Mars in Leo, exact at 6:59pm EST)

Expand Your Perspective!

This week’s headline items: Mars and Neptune remain exalted all week; as a matter of fact, Mars’ Station phase intensifies on Tuesday, and it comes to a halt on Friday evening, starting its 2.5-month Retrograde phase. It’s time to set our New Moon Intentions on Monday (either in the morning or late afternoon), and we can start to take action on those New Moon Intentions early Friday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius very early Saturday, and Neptune comes to a halt that evening, ending its 5-month Retrograde. Lastly, there will be a first Quarter Moon in Pisces late Sunday morning.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for almost 5.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for almost 5 hours), and Friday evening (for almost 10 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

‼️SORRY TO SAY THAT TODAY’s SOULIVITY PODCAST/ RADIO SHOW GOT POSTPONED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES‼️ We will try and reschedule this show, so you can still watch it. As soon as I have a new date and time, I will let you all know!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 2nd: 

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 4:09pm EST. 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 must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired and have a high degree of independence. Combined, these influences make us prefer to inspire others to do things our way rather than issue or obey orders.

Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.

Monday in the late morning, a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:43am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (Nov. 29th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Dec. 4th). This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual.

We are ready to experiment — but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude, and people are more willing to socialize.

This is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving technology and the Internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities.

We lose our fear of taking risks now, so this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes — or, at the very least, a surprising one.

Ask yourself: How could I implement revolutionary business or social practices that support my current values and make life more enjoyable for everyone who interacts with me socially or does business with me?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo? 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 Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)

Monday at 10:47am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 5.5 hours until 4:09pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor 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 slow down a little.

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 Monday late morning until the last afternoon ahead of time.

Monday before 10:47am EST and after 4:09pm EST, will still be the best and most potent time to set your New Moon Intentions. If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — to (re-)watch my New Moon video: click here

Monday at 4:09pm EST, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious, which can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges, requiring structure and planning. When you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes even more important to us.

As best as you can during this time, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do.”

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces. This is a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?

What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?

What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, present, and feeling connected to the Universe in this now-moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo and VoC until 6:20am EST. Until then, we have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

And if you are awake before 6:20am EST, use it to balance head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition.

Monday at 6:20am EST, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. 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 very much 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 at 9:42pm EST, Mercury comes to a halt at 22º43′ of Sagittarius to start its last Retrograde phase of the year, slowing things down tremendously until Thursday, Nov. 28th!

With Mercury being Retrograde, its energy feels stronger inside of us, helping us recognize what is out of alignment and pointing to how we can begin realigning ourselves with the outside world, starting from within.

We can ask ourselves: If I examine my attitudes towards life, what do I find? How about my attitude toward others? What beliefs or narratives need to be revisited or released?

Did I make any significant decisions in the past 3 months? What are my perspectives on those decisions now? What needs to be reconsidered?

This Retrograde phase will end on Dec. 15th (reaching 6º24’ of Sagittarius at that time). People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one’s life during these times.

Between now and Dec. 15th, we have an opportunity to reevaluate our beliefs, narratives, attitudes, and awareness of our biases and social/cultural conditioning.

We also get a chance to look at the bigger picture of our lives and human existence, allowing us to address anything that requires a new perspective or attitude.

This is also a chance to readdress anything from the past that felt out of alignment and is now ready to be cleared or changed. Take time to investigate your own thought processes: What feels too busy to me? What if I got really clear about that?

For the next 3 weeks, we get a chance to connect with our inner dialog and carefully examine our thinking and communication. Watch out for being too optimistic or impatient.

As mentioned above, certain things may take longer — but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from being in alignment with the outer world — especially things that came up since Nov. 7th (when Mercury entered its pre-Shadow phase).

We are ready to reconsider, reinvestigate, or re-communicate any connections, thoughts, or conversations initiated since Nov. 7th. Ask yourself: What has emerged since then around beliefs, narratives, attitudes, and social-cultural conditioning?

What still needs my attention or reconsideration? Am I still aligned with what I want to explore about life? Where do I need to open my mind and be more generous? Where might I add a dash of humor?

How might exploration, contemplation, or philosophy broaden my conception of my role on Earth and benefit my mental well-being?

We may also get to reorganize any data or information accumulated over the last three months since the last Mercury Retrograde phase (that ended on August 28th, 2024). It’s time to rethink, retool, and release what is no longer in alignment.

During a Mercury Retrograde phase, read the small print, re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something), or ask another person for a second opinion…

During these periods, it’s best to be aware of any details we might have overlooked, check in with our intuition, and stay open to renegotiation or adjustments down the line! In general, Mercury Retrograde is an excellent time for re-evaluating and re-organizing.

This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions, particularly those made in the two weeks leading up to the start of the retrograde. It’s also applicable to our lives in general: we can gain a deeper understanding of what we choose to believe and which beliefs may need to change.

Reconnecting with friends, clients, neighbors, spiritual advisors, professors, and family members, especially siblings, is favored at this time.

Mercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this is also experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write, and hear is the same as the intended meaning — and use the spell-checker

— We also talked about this in our most recent Soulivity Today Show from Nov. 8th (feel free to watch or re-watch that episode)

Another thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart? Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey?

The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life — which are affected by this retrograde?

If you are familiar with your natal chart — take a look at your natal Mercury and where Sagittarius lands in your chart to see how this might play out for you.

As with any retrograde, some of us will be more affected than others, depending on how it interacts with our personal chart.

If you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or any personal planets in 4-24 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, you will be more affected by this particular Retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have a Gemini or Virgo Sun- or Rising-sign (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo).

Active Healing 

This week’s headline items: Pluto makes its final move into Aquarius on Tuesday afternoon. Multiple planets will start to slow down (station) this week: Mercury does so on Wednesday night, as the planet gets ready for its last Retrograde phase of the year; Neptune slows down on Sunday, as it readies itself to end a 5-month Retrograde. Mars will be exalted, starting on Saturday, as it prepares for an upcoming 11-week Retrograde phase in Leo-Cancer — and Saturn ends its station phase. Lastly, there will also be a Last Quarter Moon in Virgo on Friday evening.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 3:50am EST; Wednesday morning (for 2.5 hours); Friday morning (almost 10 hours); and Sunday night (for almost 6 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

“Thank you so much, Sonja! So informative! ❤️❤️❤️” — Brittany G. — Please know that this webinar is only available until Dec. 13th!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, November 18th: 

Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 3:50am EST. Until then, if you are awake, “busy” feels good, as does connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way.

You may also need to make some adjustments; as best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

Monday at 3:50am EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.

Self-care is key for the next two days! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.

Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday early morning, a Mercury/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 3:55am EST. We started to feel this aspect build Friday early morning (Nov. 15th); it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Nov. 21st). This opposition asks us to balance what we think we need to learn or share against our desire to expand our current perspective or life philosophies.

On the one hand, we seek new perspectives and approaches regarding information exchanges, learning, and teaching — and on the other hand, we want to explore our minds and confer with others to see what’s possible when we zoom out and see the bigger picture.

Learning more about our own beliefs or biases when interacting with others can be a powerful driver of personal growth right now.

Ask yourself: How open can I allow myself to be towards my own thinking processes, narratives, and beliefs? What might I observe if I remained curious about their origins?

Something to be aware of: We may get self-righteous and favor being “right” over being happy.

What might happen if I ascribed 5% less meaning and importance to any of my thoughts or beliefs? Could I allow myself to experiment with this until Nov. 21st?

We generally feel optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach — perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating.

We might be inclined to exaggerate and then have difficulty putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be hilarious and interesting at this time …

Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways, perhaps by asking ourselves: How might learning something new and exploring something beyond my typical daily interactions impact my thinking? If I stepped way back from “the canvas”, what “bigger picture” would I see?

Impatience could likely be a side-effect of this aspect as well… Take an “observer” position toward your mind as best as you can: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking!

Listening can be an art form that provides access to our inner wisdom, so do your best to practice listening to yourself, others, and your nervous system.

I should also mention here, that Mercury and Jupiter are in a mutual reception with each other, so they do support each other’s agenda. Watch this brief video here to hear more about the mutual reception.

Mercury last aligned with Jupiter in early June (in Gemini). Think back to that time: what began in early June? What seeds were planted? What new perspectives or approaches did you take in your interactions with others?

What has developed since? What life philosophies could support you in moving beyond where you were in early June?

In other words, what has emerged since June regarding your approaches to mental stimulation or exchanges? How about teaching or learning something that supports your own or other people’s self-growth?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this opposition more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius). 

Monday evening, a harmonious Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 9:07pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday early morning (Nov. 16th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Nov. 21st).

This aspect could be tremendously supportive when it comes to dissolving what no longer serves us — especially anything that relates to traumas from the past and fears that keep us stuck or disconnected from others or that simply keep us from a fully passionate life.

Our intuition, imagination, and inspiration seem “zeroed in”. We go beyond “tolerance” to lovingly embrace differences in others and give where it’s needed with open hearts and hands. This also feeds into any creative and spiritual endeavors that start around this time.

Ask yourself: what am I ready to release that has kept me from living a passionate life? Who am I ready to forgive? Do I make it onto that list?

What if forgiveness wasn’t even a requirement? What if I could simply move on because I understand the power of acceptance and compassion towards myself and others?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 24-29 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer, or 0 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries, or Leo? 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 Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).

__________________________

And…. if you missed my Soulivity Today Podcast/Radio Show last Friday ==> watch the replay here!
We discussed November’s energies and how to prepare for the last Mercury Retrograde of the year!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, November 11th: 

Monday is quite the day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. It will journey there until tonight/Tuesday very early morning (Nov. 11th/12th). This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But that idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities.

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.

It’s also an excellent time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”.

Monday morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 6:08am EST. We started to feel this aspect build Sunday morning (Nov. 10th); it will remain strong until Tuesday morning (Nov.12th).

This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed to see what needs adjusting.

This aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward more profound, more authentic emotional connections with others and ourselves; the other leads to a greater understanding of our mind and how our mental exchanges with others determine our understanding of life.

There isn’t a single “correct path,” as both routes can lead to a deeper understanding of the themes at hand. However, no matter which direction you choose, it’s essential to remain open-minded throughout the journey. This is particularly important if you find yourself becoming overly enthusiastic with others, as it may hinder your ability to think clearly.

Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 18-21 degrees of Scorpio or Gemini? 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).

Monday at 1:26pm EST, Venus changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec. 6th/7th.

With this placement, our relationships tend to be more practical: We see people for who they are and are not afraid to lay the facts on the table; we take things more seriously.

We take our time warming up to others, appreciate maturity in relationships, and can make long-term commitments. There is a strong focus on business relationships.

Venus is also connected to finances and what we value; it’s thus a perfect time to get serious and make long-term plans in these areas: As best as you can, get real about what comes in and what goes out.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more serious and focused for the next 3.5 weeks; your heart will want to make practical, attainable long-term plans. If you are a Capricorn Sun or Rising sign, as long as Venus is in your sign, you will attract more love, abundance, and beauty.

Monday late afternoon, a somewhat challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:41pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build Sunday afternoon (Nov. 10th); it will remain strong until Tuesday afternoon (Nov.12th).

This aspect also operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed to see what needs adjusting.

We may feel an internal dilemma around our ability to get things done — due to a drop in our self-confidence and self-esteem.

This could lead to us “hiding out,” leaving us feeling guilty, which leads to our behaving in weird ways — and we end up thinking, “Did I really just do that?”

As best as you can, be kind and compassionate with yourself — forgive yourself for having a human moment — this will support your healing process.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-21 degrees of Scorpio or Aries? 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 Leo (the Sun rules of Leo).

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 1:13am EST, we enter a very brief Moon VoC that will last for 13 minutes, until 1:26am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be guided by inspiration and fully commit to a project or task that might serve you long-term.

As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart that stir you towards success.

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.

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 1:26am EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and enthusiastic about new projects.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Release Anything That Keeps You Small 

This week’s headline items: although Mars has moved into Leo, its opposition to Pluto remains strong all week. On Wednesday, it’s time to act on our New Moon Intentions, and Saturn in Pisces starts to slow down (station) again, getting ready to end its 4.5-month Retrograde phase. Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Thursday morning; the first Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on very early Saturday; and finally, Saturn’s Station intensifies on Sunday.

Please remember that Daylight Savings Time has ended! We are all back in sync (except maybe Arizona? :-))

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for almost 5 hours), Thursday late afternoon (20 minutes), and Saturday evening (just over 3.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, November 4th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until late Tuesday morning. 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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 than issue or obey orders.

Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.

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

Monday early afternoon, a harmonious Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 12:36pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build Friday morning (Nov. 1st); it will remain strong until Thursday late morning (Nov. 7th). Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart’s desires and our emotional needs right now.

We face life on life’s terms and feel up to doing so (especially regarding inner knowing and intimate connections).

Ask yourself: What might become possible if I surrounded my long-term plans with 5% more intuitive and passionate self-expression?

We can also bring a more mature approach to feeling empowered and whole by embracing all we are and releasing anything that keeps us small (fears, past traumas, emotional attachments, etc.)

How might a supportive “inner parent” help us become more whole and empowered? How might taking a more realistic and practical approach to our intuitive connection to all of life help us feel empowered and whole?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-16 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If any of those are true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect.

Monday late afternoon, we might want to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart to renew our enthusiasm for life. We can be compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best. (Moon in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 3:44pm EST)

October 28th – Nov. 3rd

by Sonja Francis | Oct 27, 2024 | Astrological Forecasts

A Deep Focus on Self-Care & Emotional Authenticity 

This week’s headline items: even though it will not be exact until Sunday, Nov. 3rd, we can feel the Mars-Pluto opposition all week; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday early morning; the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Friday morning; Mercury changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Saturday afternoon; and Mars changes signs from Cancer to Leo late Sunday evening.

Please note that Daylight Savings Time ended in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning (Oct. 27th) but will continue in the US until early this Sunday (Nov. 3rd)!

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for 36 minutes), Thursday early afternoon (for 32 minutes), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 28 minutes).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know that…

Next week, at 8am on Friday, Nov. 8th, I will appear again on the Soulivity Today Podcast/Radio show with the lovely Brian W Johnson.

==> SAVE THE DATE so you can join us for an interesting “Hot Astrology with Sonja” conversation about the last Mercury Retrograde phase of the year and how to prepare for it.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, Oct. 28th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until very early Tuesday, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.

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 around 4am EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 20.5 degrees of Virgo. This lasts until Friday morning, when the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact (more on that later this week… however, feel free to watch my video on the subject here — it will be posted by Monday, Oct. 28th in the evening at the latest).

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet so we can listen to our intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tension.

Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?

Monday morning, a harmonious Mars/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 8:31am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning (Oct. 21st) on; it will remain strong until Nov. 5th.

This aspect brings the ability to endow what we feel passionate about with our creativity — and connect it to a higher love. Our masculine energies can connect to compassion and understanding.

We can now release past issues; through loving ourselves, we can release emotional blockages and the lower vibrations of the masculine: aggression, domineering, destructiveness, and me-first attitudes.

As this aspect is taking place in Cancer and Pisces, we are connecting to our goals and dreams from an emotional place that is deeply spiritual.

We are more able to let go of our fears and attachments and can have faith that everything will turn out just as it needs to.

Ask yourself: Is there anything I can release from my past that no longer serves me? How has anger shown up in my life? Could I allow the part of me that feels anger to be embraced and accepted?

Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio, or 0-1 degrees of Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius will be touched in a particularly beautiful way by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Pisces (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces).

Monday late morning, a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 9:35am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (Oct. 25th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Oct. 30th).

This aspect asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we’ve known ourselves up to this point — a process of maturing that requires us to adjust and stay flexible.

On the one hand, we want to connect in a more external, fast-paced way, exploring life and expanding our horizons.

On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to be authentic about our intuitive connection to life and learn what works and what doesn’t when it comes to this inner spiritual journey.

This may involve looking for practical applications of our connection to Source or one-consciousness and determining what’s realistic.

This aspect provides an excellent foundation for fulfilling our dreams and supports our interconnectedness with all beings. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.

We tend to be more cautious regarding relationships and finances now — and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship.

Financially, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.

The key here is to approach both in a spirit that combines authenticity and maturity rather than attachment to a certain outcome.

Pushing will most likely not get us what we want — better to go one slow and steady step at a time, so we can come back later (if needs be) with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-16 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo, or Gemini? 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 Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn). 

Monday at 11:54pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for 36 minutes, until 12:30am EDT (Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to empower each other around earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.

Your attention to detail is enhanced; you might implement new health routines or other systems that support your long-term goals.

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 Monday late evening/night ahead of time.

Some Things Cannot Be Directed or Controlled 

This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted all week; the Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Tuesday evening; Jupiter ends its Station phase on Wednesday; the last Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact Thursday early morning and Eclipse Season finally ends that same day. Lastly, on Saturday & Sunday we will have a Yod aspect with Mercury in Scorpio as the Focal Point.

Please note that Daylight Savings Time ends in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning (Oct. 27th) but continues in the US until Nov. 3rd!

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late afternoon (for 50 minutes), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 37 minutes), and Saturday early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know…

If you missed our powerful webinar last Wednesday: MARS – TROUBLE or ACTION? You can still get it here.

The main questions with Mars are still, “What are you after? Are you taking the right actions?”

“Thank you so much for this, Sonja!” — Rita

“Very Interesting, Sonja” — Gail

**Star Members, please check your inbox for the mp4-video recording of last week’s live event.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, Oct. 21st: 

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 6:50pm EDT. Until then, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible.

“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead …

Monday at 5pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for 50 minutes, until 6:50pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect one-on-one, collaborate, and exchange information.

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 Monday evening ahead of time.

Monday at 6:50pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.

Self-care is key for the next two days! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.

Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 2:35am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday morning (Oct. 20th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday early morning (Oct. 24th).

This aspect helps us to come from a place of integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans that help us better understand our interconnectivity with life and the cosmos.

We get to the point with no wasted time or words. Looking to build solid, truthful foundations for our current spiritual journey, we speak our divine truth and temper it with intuitive caution and moderation.

The reality of our spiritual connections gets clearer, and our thought processes are better aligned with what feels truly empowering to us.

It is important for us to think about what works (and what doesn’t) on a daily basis when it comes to building this alliance with life and the cosmos, so we can remain connected to our true intuitive knowing.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 10-16 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn? If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, Oct. 14th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day; it will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But that idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.

It’s also an excellent time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”.

Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.

Monday early morning, a challenging Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:15am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (Oct. 8th) on; it will last until Sunday morning (Oct. 20th). This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.

This aspect might stir up impatience and frustration when things don’t line up perfectly right away, particularly around family or home.

We may feel compelled by an instinctual desire to “do something”, but it’s important to maintain a balanced approach and strive for fair exchanges. Otherwise, our impulsive actions could lead to unnecessary arguments or leave us feeling stuck and unproductive.

Our reactions may be defensive or competitive, and we may not be willing to compromise or negotiate. Focus on nurturing your emotional well-being, and be mindful of your energy levels, being sure to get plenty of rest.

Ask yourself: Am I exhausting myself? What is my body telling me? If it had its own voice, what might it say it needs right now? Could I let go of any fearful or impulsive actions and focus instead on my emotional well-being as I interact with others?

On the subject of Mars, just a gentle reminder: The Early Bird Special for this week’s Forecasting Forum ends TODAY at midnight EDT! We will be discussing the current and upcoming Mars transits in relation to your birth chart.

==> Register to join us live on Wednesday at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT/10pm London time, or register to receive the mp4-video presentation!

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-25° of Libra, Cancer, Aries, or Capricorn? 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 Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries) 

Monday evening, a Venus/Uranus opposition becomes exact at 6:22pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build Saturday morning (Oct. 12th); it will last until Thursday morning (Oct. 17th). This opposition calls us to balance “togetherness” with “having our space”.

We may find that we disagree with others. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (and react) impulsively towards others — or in connection with our finances.

Try your best not to put all your money on one horse just because it has a funny name or elope with a random hottie.

We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible. Do not get a facelift or any kind of beauty treatment that has the potential to go horribly wrong. I’m not kidding.

If there were a way to fully express our individuality in our relationships without needing to pull or push away… what might that way be?

Could you shake things up a little without being oppositional or offensive? Where might the balance between “togetherness” and “having my space” lie?

Where is the point of difference between your values and those of other people? If “objectivity’ had a role in all of this, what might that role be?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? 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 Taurus, Libra, or Aquarius, given that Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius.
