A Greater Capacity for Compassion — Forecast Sept. 17th-23rd
This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Friday late evening; the Pluto Station intensifies on Saturday; and the Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Saturday late evening, marking the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.
There will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday until 7:07am EDT, Wednesday early afternoon (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Friday early afternoon (for a little over 19 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
I have a Facebook live interview coming up, about the upcoming Venus Retrograde phase, on Wednesday, Sept. 26th at 1:30pm PDT/4:30pm EDT/9:30pm BST. I am being interviewed by Sylvia Anais Mouzourou from TheGuidedHealing.com. Save the date! You can join us live or watch the recording after, on my Facebook Fan-page… more details will come in next week’s Forecast.
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Sept. 17th): the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius and VoCuntil 7:07am EDT. At that time, the Moon enters into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening (Sept. 19th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, 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; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.
For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.
Monday early afternoon, we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.
Monday early evening, we have the opportunity to make meaningful connections that could support our long-term goals.

Freedom and Individuality — Forecast for Sept. 10th – 16th
This week’s headline items: Mars reenters Aquarius on Monday evening. There is still time to set our New Moon Intentions for most of Monday, and on Tuesday before 2pm EDT. Jupiter squares the Solar Eclipse degree of Aug.11th on Tuesday early morning. Saturn’s Station phase ends on Thursday, while Mars’ ends on Friday and Pluto’s begins on Sunday. The First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Sunday evening.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for 8 minutes), Tuesday evening (for a little over 19 hours), Friday early morning (for almost 16 hours), and Sunday evening (for almost 12 hours).
Monday (Sept. 10th):the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgountil 11:20am EDT; 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 come also 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 early morning,a somewhat challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 5:16am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening on (Sept.8th), it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We may feel uneasy or insecure in our relationships — and be faced with a choice — we must develop an inner awareness if we are to see what needs adjusting.
As you can imagine, this could make social interactions somewhat awkward; as best as you can, connect with kindness towards all (including yourself 🙂
We may also have a hard time making financial decisions that feel satisfactory. As best as you can, bring a good dose of compassion and understanding to yourself and embrace your own humanity as much as possible… and remember: like everything else, this is only temporary 😉
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-2 degrees of Scorpio, Aries, or 29 degrees of Libra or Pisces? Or perhaps your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.
Monday at 11:12am EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for 8 minutes, until 11:20am EDT. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway — or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups 😉
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 ahead of time.
Also on Monday, before 11:12am, and after 11:20am EDT, you still have time to set your New Moon Intentions for this month — if you haven’t already done so on Sunday afternoon or evening. If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon 😉
Monday at 11:20am EDT,the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. 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 8:56pm EDT,Mars reenters freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius – due to its retrograde motion this summer, it already spent some time in that sign between May 16th and August 12th. This time it will remain in Aquarius until Nov. 15th. Think back to the time Mars spent in Aquarius earlier this year: What projects have been waiting to move forward? What actions call to you now?
When Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself “How could I surprise the “old me” today?” 😉
Mental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality — our own and that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships — and we are not easily pushed around. It’s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.
In general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others — not in an aggressive way, though… more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less “special” than you, put your hand over your heart and ask “what would my heart say to this?”
If you have an Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel…

* Mercury is also part of a Grand Earth Trine, involving Saturn in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus
* Mars and Saturn are both still stationing, and both in Capricorn
* Venus enters Scorpio 8.5 hours before the New Moon becomes exact
What if you simply observed your conditioned mind and its survival strategies?
What does your mind chatter say? Is it helpful?
Does it help you make decisions that are in alignment with your lighter vibrations, your love-vibrations?
Do you have an Ascendant (or personal planets) in 15-19 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius?

Commitment and Maturity — Forecast for Sept. 3rd – 9th
This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Leo to Virgo late Wednesday evening; Saturn comes to a halt on Thursday morning — ending it’s 5-month retrograde phase — and the Balsamic Moon phase begins later that day. Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Sunday morning, and the New Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Sunday afternoon.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for almost 5.5 hours), Thursday morning (for a little over an hour), and Saturday late morning (for an hour).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week…but still would like to learn how these major two planetary shifts are impacting you personally…feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about the current Saturn and Mars Station phases and their direct motions in relationship to your own Birth Chart… To purchase this 90+ min. webinar, click here.
Star and SuperStar Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Aug. 28th late at night 😉
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Sept. 3rd):the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. For that period of time, 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 late morning, an opportune Mercury/Venus aspect becomes exact at 8:58am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Aug. 31st) on, it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. This aspect gives us the opportunity for more direct and caring connections to others. Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase in August, we are experiencing this aspect for the second time already within the last two weeks.
This gives us a chance to re-address anything that may have come up in regards to our relationships. Think back to Aug. 15th – 21st. Is there anything that was not expressed at that time, that you may want to talk about? Is there anyone you would like to get in touch with?
Through enhanced communication, we have a chance to clear up any misunderstandings. Promises and clarifications may grow from this, particularly in love relationships. It is also an opportune time to make new social contacts. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to actively take advantage of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in…

How Deep We Dare to Go — Forecast for Aug. 27th – Sept. 2nd
This week’s headline items: Mars comes to a halt on Monday late morning, ending it’s 2-month retrograde phase. Tuesday afternoon is a great time to start taking actions on our Solar Eclipse Intentions. On Wednesday, Saturn begins to slow down (station), preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase, while in the early evening, Mercury moves over the Solar Eclipse degree (18.5º of Leo) for the third time in the last 6.5 week. On Saturday night/Sunday very early morning, the Mercury Shadow phase ends and Saturn’s Station phase intensifies. Late Sunday evening, the last Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact and Venus enters her Shadow phase (prior to going retrograde in October).
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), Thursday evening (for almost 2.5 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for a little over 2 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
Last chance to sign up for this week’s Forecasting Forum! Live on Tuesday, August 28th at 2pm PDT/5pm EDT/10pm BST (London-time). We’ll talk about the Mars Station in 28.5º of Capricorn (Mars goes direct on Aug 27th), and the Saturn Station in 2.5º of Capricorn (it goes direct on Sept. 6th).

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Aug. 27th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very 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 a great 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 late morning, at 10:05am EDT,Mars comes to a halt in 28.5 degrees of Capricorn — changing directions after its 2-month Retrograde phase. We are called to reassess our long-term goals, relationship to freedom, and individual differences from each other — and also to look at what we’ve been doing or actively pursuing since mid-May. What have you discovered since then? What needed a renegotiation or readjustment?
We are now ready to move forward with anything that began between mid-May and late August — and we have plenty of energy to do what needs to be done. Please keep in mind that, even though this planet’s energy is now direct, it will still move slower than usual until Sept. 20th and its energy is therefore exalted. As best as you can, be aware of any tendency toward physical and mental exhaustion.
Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in Aries? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following…

Taking it One Step at a Time — Forecast for Aug. 20th – 26th
This week’s headline items: the Mars station phase begins to intensify on Monday; Uranus ends it’s station phase late Monday night/Tuesday very early morning; the Sun changes signs from Leo to Virgo late Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning; Mercury ends it’s station phase on Friday, a Grand Earth Trine will be at its strongest on Saturday; on Sunday morning, the Full Moon in Pisces becomes exact — bringing Eclipse Season to a close.
There will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 4 hours), Thursday late morning (a little over 2.5 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (almost 25 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: Join us for next week’s Forecasting Forum! We will cover the Mars and Saturn station phases, as well as what happens when both of these planets in Capricorn start going direct again.
Monday (Aug. 20th):the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. 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, this means 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.
Monday at 7:47pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last a little over 4 hours, until 12:00am EDT (Monday night/Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to enjoy your day as much as you can — you have plenty of energy, so use it to explore something new about life or yourself — have some fun!
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 until the very early morning ahead of time.
Also on Monday, the Mars Station intensifies. Mars started to slow down already on Aug. 8th. It will come to a halt on Aug. 27th in 28.5 degrees of Capricorn — ending its 2-month retrograde phase — and will move more slowly for a couple of weeks. Between now and Sept. 3rd, anything connected to Mars’s energy will come into our awareness even more strongly: We are being invited to pay attention to what this planet is trying to communicate to us.
Mars represents our assertiveness, independence and “masculine” energy. It is also associated with new initiatives, going after one’s goals, and with physical actions. With Mars’ energy even more exalted, we are more aware of these things — but are not necessarily able to do anything about any of it yet.
This may bring up impatience, frustration or even outright anger. What’s more, since Mars is in Capricorn right now, we may express this anger towards authority figures, or towards ourselves in regards to our accomplishments or lack thereof… In that case, try taking it one step at a time and bring a mature attitude to the table; this could prove an inspired way to deal with it all. Physical exercise could also be a great way to tap into these energies.
Do your best to slow down, get present, and allow for it all to unfold — because one thing is for sure: you will make progress very soon — it’s just a matter of time, and timing is everything. Ask yourself: What do I become most aware of when I consider my accomplishments? What single action step would take me one step closer towards my goals? What might be possible if I took it one moment at a time, staying very present with “what is”? What would impatience do? What has it done so far?

A Path to Explore Our Deepest Desires — Forecast for Aug. 13th – 19th
This week’s headline items: The best and most potent time to set our Solar Eclipse intentions will be all day Monday and most of Tuesday. Mercury’s station intensifies on Thursday and the planet comes to halt (ending its 3-week retrograde phase) on Saturday night / Sunday very early morning. The first Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Saturday early morning and there will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for a brief 20 minutes), Thursday early morning (for an hour), and Saturday late morning (for a little over 1.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: For this month only you can get a FREE copy of the entire Eclipse webinar by either:
Monday (Aug. 13th): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day, it will journey there until Monday night/Tuesday very early morning. 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 come also 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 after 6am EDT, is also the best time to start setting our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions. As mentioned last Saturday, with a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait until 48 hours after the Eclipse was exact before setting any intentions, as the energy of an Eclipse is quite intense, and it’s therefore wise to wait until the energy settles before setting our intentions.
As always, we also want to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases;, this time around that makes the best and most potent time for setting our intentions would be today (Monday) all day; and then again tomorrow (Tuesday) any time after 12:57am EDT.
Make your Intentions powerful — after all, they cover the next five months — and if possible, align them with the Solar Eclipse energies that I spoke about in my last video — you might want to watch it again if you are not sure anymore what they are — click here to watch my video on the Solar Eclipse
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my facebook Fanpage or follow me on twitter. I will be posting reminders on Monday and Tuesday throughout the day, as well as Wednesday morning, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:37am EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for 20 minutes. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to take small steps on projects already underway — it’s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.
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 night/Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.

This week’s headline items: very early on Monday, Mercury makes its second pass over the Solar Eclipse degree (i.e. at 18.5º of Leo). Venus changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Monday evening, Uranus comes to a halt on Tuesday early afternoon, starting its 5-month retrograde phase, Mars starts to slow down again (station) on Wednesday, preparing to end its retrograde phase. The Balsamic Moon phase begins on Wednesday morning, while the Solar Eclipse in Leo becomes exact on Saturday morning. Mercury is also starting to slow down again (station) this week (on Sunday), as it prepares to end its retrograde phase. Mars re-enters Capricorn on Sunday, late evening.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for a little over 20 hours), Thursday morning (for 17 hours), and Saturday morning (for 18 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week, but want to see how the current Eclipses (and the major shifts they bring) are impacting you personally, check out this 20-min excerpt, and/or purchase the whole 90+ min. webinar here.
Monday (Aug. 6th): the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; it will journey there until Tuesday night. For the next couple of days, 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 🙂
This Saturday (Aug. 11th), the last of a series of three Eclipses will occur in 18.5 degrees of Leo; on Monday very early morning, around 2:30am EDT, Mercury moves over that same degree for the second time within a 3-week period, due to its retrograde motion (you may recall that the first time it did so was on July 14th; it will reach that same degree again on Aug. 29th).
This might trigger some communications or thought patterns connected to joy, self-expression, fun, or creativity; these will need to be addressed over the next 5 months.
The key here is to heighten awareness of two things: First, how can we receive more specific information around our Soul’s journey and what’s next for us?
Second: what additional information do we need to tap into, so that we can connect more fully to living from a place of joy? What messages are we receiving today that could bring more clarity?
Monday evening,a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:27pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (Aug. 3rd) on, it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Aug. 9th). This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.
Awareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what’s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your “feeling body”.
This is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don’t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your heart.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-18 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Taurus? 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 Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday evening, at 7:27pm EDT,Venus changes signs from detail-oriented, practical Virgo to harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Sept. 9th, and then again from Oct. 31st until Dec. 2nd (due to its retrograde phase in October/November). With this placement, we prefer to show kindness, evenhandedness, and a willingness to make our relationships work.
We value our relationships at this time and we prefer entering into equal partnerships. During this time, we can develop an idealized view of what a relationship “should” look like. We do our best to treat others fairly for the next three and a half weeks, seeking the middle ground. We are more likely to appreciate the arts, dance, beauty, entertainment and romance.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign inTaurus? If so, you will feel more connected to your inner harmony for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to others in an equal setting. If you are aLibraSun- or Rising-sign you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.
Uranus comes to a halt tomorrow (Tuesday). Therefore it will make its presence known for the next three days, this gives us the opportunity to…

* The Eclipse also making a Square to Jupiter in Scorpio
* This Eclipse chart also has one T-Square involving: Saturn in Capricorn as the Focus point, and Venus in Libra opposing Chiron in Aries
* Empty leg of this T-square lands in Cancer
* Best and most potent time to set some powerful intentions for this Eclipse cycle
Is the outside world in alignment with what you are experiencing internally right now?

Stay Open and Flexible — Forecast for July 30th – Aug. 5th
This week’s headline items: the Uranus station intensifies on Tuesday, the Mercury station ends on Friday, and the last Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Saturday.
There will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday evening (for a little over 12 hours), Thursday late evening (for 17 hours), and Sunday evening (for almost 2 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
Last change to sign up for this week’s Forecasting Forum! Please note that we’ll talk about the last two of three Eclipses that we will experience this summer: a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius (exact on July 27th), and a second Solar Eclipse, this one will be in Leo (exact on Aug. 11th).
Feel free to join us on Aug.1st, orwatch the mp4-video presentation of this live event — Star and SuperStar Members, check your emails for the link to join!
Monday (July 30th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces. It will journey there until Wednesday morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very 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 a great 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 today and tomorrow.
Monday late morning, we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.
Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to be creative, outgoing and self-expressed — and on the other hand, the need to go within and be quiet, so we can hear the subtle voice of our intuition
Monday late evening has a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust others and connect deeply with them. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.
Also, tomorrow (Tuesday all day) and Wednesday before 11am EDT, is your last chance to sign up for Wednesday’s FORECASTING FORUM. Please see details above (underneath: Moon VoC phases this week)…
If you would like to join live, please keep in mind that registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after 11am EDT on Wednesday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar. Star and SuperStar Members, check your emails for the link to join!
Tuesday (July 31st): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Monday for details).

Reclaiming Ourselves — Forecast for July 23rd – 29th
This week’s headline items: Uranus starts to slow down (“station”) on Wednesday, preparing for its yearly retrograde phase — and Mercury comes to a complete halt on Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning, starting its 3-week retrograde phase. A very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact on Friday afternoon.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week, all fairly long: Tuesday (beginning in the early morning and lasting for almost 13.5 hours), Thursday late morning (21 hours), and Sunday morning (14 hours).
Monday (July 23rd):the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best for us at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn off that excess energy with activity and physical exercise.
We also 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.
Happily, inspiring others likely comes 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 then, 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.
Monday late morning/early afternoon: we feel a need to explore and grow spiritually while also connecting on very specific realistic issues — stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect on the details whilst honoring your need for the bigger picture. As best as you can, be flexible and patient with yourself and others.
Monday afternoon: we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within.
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 with yourself.
Tuesday (July 24th): the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, until…

Ready To Make Adjustments? — Forecast for July 16th – 22nd
This week’s headline items: there is still time on Monday to set your Solar Eclipse Intentions (until 10:48pm EDT). Chiron’s station ends on Monday and Jupiter’s on Tuesday, while Mercury begins its own station phase on Wednesday (preparing to go retrograde — it will intensify on Sunday). The first Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Thursday — and last but not least the Sun changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Sunday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday morning (for almost 9 hours), Thursday afternoon (for a little over 5 hours), and Sunday early morning (for almost an hour).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (July 16th): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day; 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 come also 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 early morning, a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 3:56am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (July 15th) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning (July 17th). We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.
This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.
When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-8 degrees of Virgo 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 Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries).
In the late morning,a somewhat challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:24am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (July 15th) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This aspect also operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, awkward, and need to make a choice — so we need to develop inner awareness.
Our compulsive side may lead us down a path that evades rational understanding. Our judgments — of circumstances, ourselves, others — can be so extreme during this aspect that we can’t seem to make intelligent and consistent progress in our lives for the three days it is in effect.
As best as you can, strive to be more trusting, and less strict with yourself for these three days — and surrender to whatever you are experiencing right now… like everything else, it’s temporary. Flexibility and a playful attitude could be helpful too.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-21 degrees of Leo or Capricorn? 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 Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Monday; there is still time for you to set your Solar Eclipse Intentions if you haven’t already done so; you have until 10:48pm EDT. Click here to also watch my Solar Eclipse video; it will help you align your intentions with the Eclipse energies.
For more info on how to best set your Solar Eclipse Intentions, click here to read my article on the subject
Also, on Monday, Chiron ends its stationphase and gets back to its normal pace through the sky — but appears to be moving backward through the sky (as seen from Earth — that’s what “retrograde” refers to). We have a chance to do some internal work on any wounding or insecurities around personal identity, physical appearance, or leadership abilities that came up over the last couple of weeks.

Invest In Your Health — Forecast for July 9th – 15th, 2018
This week’s headline items: Mars, Jupiter, and Chiron stay exalted all week long (aka stationing), Venus changes signs from Leo to Virgo on Monday, Jupiter comes to a halt on Tuesday; a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse and SuperMoon in Cancer becomes exact on Thursday; we can start setting our Eclipse Intentions on Sunday — and the Mars Station ends that same day.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for almost an hour), Tuesday afternoon (for 22 hours), Thursday late evening (for a little over 14.5 hours), and Saturday evening (for a little over 18 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick thing I want to share:
If you are not yet a Star or SuperStar Member, and you want to learn more about this week’s Solar Eclipse (and Chiron’s Station/Retrograde phases), you might want to purchase the video presentation of our most recent Forecasting Forum — we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this will affect each of us.
For the next two weeks only, you can get a free copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to my Monthly Forecasting Forums, all by simply signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership — the offer expires July 26th 😉
By the way, if you’re not sure whether it’s for you, you can take it for a “test drive”, by watching the first 28 minutes of this 90+min. webinar here for free: click here and enjoy!
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (July 9th): the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 12:58pm EDT. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.
In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until 12:58pm EDT? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday early morning, a challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 5:14am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (July 6th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday night. This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in how we communicate our joyful self-expression, how deep we dare to go with others, and how we explore our own fears and traumas. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.
We want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended — and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-16 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, 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 Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday at 12:09pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost an hour, until 12:58pm EDT (early afternoon). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space for connections with children or playful adults, for actively creating something, or for staying grounded in your body (preferably surrounded by and enjoyable nature and beauty).
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 afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 12:58pm EDT, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday early afternoon. For the next two days, 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 late evening, Venus changes signs from playful, fun-loving Leo to detail-oriented, practical Virgo. Venus will journey there until Aug. 6th. For the next four weeks, our relationships are…

Observe Your Feelings — Forecast for July 2nd – 8th
This week’s headline items: Eclipse season begins on Monday, Jupiter starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday, Chiron comes to a halt on Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning, starting its 5-month retrograde phase, the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Friday early morning, the Jupiter station intensifies on Saturday, and Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase on Saturday afternoon.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday until 1:31pm EDT, Wednesday morning (for 19 hours), and Saturday very early morning (for a little over 5.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick thing I want to share:
If you are not a Star or SuperStar Member, and missed last week’s Forecasting Forum (but still want to get a taste of what we covered), feel free to watch the 28-min excerpt — it’s about the Solar Eclipse in Cancer, and the Chiron Station/Retrograde phases: click here and enjoy!
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (July 2nd): the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC, until 1:31pm EDT. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount
Monday at 1:31pm EDT, the Moon enters creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very 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 a great 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 evening, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 7:49pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday night on, it will remain strong until Wednesday morning. This will contribute either to a lack of mental energy or a need to focus on our commitments with others. This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice.
The sheer scope of our goals in life can require more effort than is immediately obvious. Hard work can take its toll on our health. If we partition our big ideas into achievable segments — and go one clear action step at a time — we can move forward while maintaining inner peace and outer health. Use your time wisely! Develop the inner awareness needed, so you can see what needs adjusting.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-7 degrees of Leo 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 Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn)
Also on Monday, we enter Eclipse season until Aug. 26th; for 10 days before and after an Eclipse, we are usually in uncharted territory: anything is possible and it’s wise to expect the unexpected. Feel free to watch my video about the first of three Eclipses (will be posted by July 3rd).
Flexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest — and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.
Anything brand-new (and I really mean brand, brand-new) started during Eclipse season will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after…

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (June 25th) at 12:29am EDT, the Moon enters optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late 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 — 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, this means 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.
Monday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 1:19pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening on, it will remain strong until this Thursday. This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning concerning our connection to our creative, joyful, playful “inner child” — and also asks that we similarly examine how we view our intimate, emotional connections with others.
We have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.
We mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time — but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.
What are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough… and what is too much?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in…

I wanted to share something that came up last week in one of my Coaching sessions: What motivates your choices? Fear- or Love-based thoughts and feelings? Does your body feel tense or open when you make choices? When you choose something, does it come from judgement or discernment? Judgment creates separation within the self and with others, whereas discernment is a simple honoring of what works and what doesn’t, it’s an observation — there’s no need to making anyone wrong, or blame anyone — again, whether that is oneself, or others.
This week’s headline items: Neptune comes to a halt on Monday evening, marking the beginning of its 5-month retrograde phase. On Wednesday, the Mars station intensifies and the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact; on Thursday morning, the Sun moves into Cancer (this marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere) — and on Sunday, Chiron starts to slow down (i.e. “station”), in preparation for its 5-month retrograde phase.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning until 4:41am EDT, Wednesday morning (for a little over 1.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for a little over 17.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for 14.5 hours).
Monday (June 18th):the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo and VoCuntil 4:41am EDT.
Monday at 4:41am EDT,the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Wednesday morning; 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 come also 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. This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).
Monday evening,Neptune comes to a haltat 7:26pm EDT at 16.5 degrees of Pisces, beginning a 5-month Retrograde phase. Until this ends on Nov. 24th, we are invited to access Neptunian energy from within: Our intuition will be very strong during this time.
We can see how connected we are to our Higher Self/The Universe/Source. What’s more, we have an opportunity to dissolve any barriers between us and our Soul’s guidance. Are we sensing our Soul’s desire for love and oneness to the fullest? Are we connecting to our intuition? Is anything keeping us from experiencing the flow of life?
Some of us will feel the effects more than others. This is particularly true if you have personal planets in…

Simplify and Be Patient — Forecast for June 11th – 17th, 2018
For me personally, last week was all about being careful not to push, and instead allowing the natural flow of things to take its course. The many long Moon void of course phases definitely helped with that 🙂
This week’s headline items: on Tuesday, the Neptune Station phase intensifies and Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer. On Wednesday, the New Moon in Gemini becomes exact and Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo; on Sunday, it’s time to start taking actions on our New Moon Intentions.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 3.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for almost 12 hours), Friday early afternoon (for 15 hours) and Sunday late evening (for a little over 5 hours).
Monday (June 11th): the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.
In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for today? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday early afternoon, a somewhat challenging Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:14pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (June 12th). We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.
This might concern compromising with others. Our fear of being manipulated might make us stubborn, or it might make us manipulative ourselves. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative/the higher road, adjusting as needed.
We might be forced to focus, time and again, on details we would prefer to ignore. When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-22 degrees of Gemini or Capricorn? 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 Leo or Scorpio (the Sun rules Leo, Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Monday at 11:29pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 3.5 hours, until 2:53am EDT (Tuesday very early morning). This intuitive time could be a good time to connect with others from the heart. What if you let yourself enjoy others, in mutual pursuit of any shared values?

"What I loved about the Monthly Forecasting Forum is Sonja's soulful approach to astrology, keeping it in the positive, learning and growing for our higher good. It's not fear based astrology which I have come to see too much of. Sonja is extremely patient and kind, and a true teacher. I look forward to learning and growing with this beautiful soul."
"Thank you for the awesome webinar, Sonja. I really enjoyed the full interactive experience. Having this real time exchange makes a huge difference to the learning and understanding of all these patterns and energies. I love the question and answer section, especially since we get some advance indication of what the topics will be. I have been an amateur astrologer for many years but I learned an awful lot very quickly in this setting. So much fun. See you next time!"
