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?

Join me as I shares about several upcoming astrological events:
* Powerful New Moon in almost 23º of Gemini (exact on June 13th, 2018 at 3:43pm EDT)
* This is also a SuperMoon
* Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) is in Cancer at the time of the New Moon
* Mercury in Cancer makes a “mutual reception” to the Moon in Gemini
* Mercury is part of a T-Square, involving Chiron in Aries, as the focus planet, and Saturn in Capricorn (opposing Mercury)
* Two planets exalted: Neptune in Pisces & Mars in Aquarius
* Mars/South Node alignment in Aquarius
* Best and most potent time to set New Moon intentions for this month
What mental paths do you keep heading down, even though you know you don’t need to go there any more?
What if you consciously chose to nurture the parts of you that are sensitive, soft and receptive?
Do you have an Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20 – 25 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces?
My next MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM — which is a 90-minute webinar — will be on Thursday, June 28th at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time). PLEASE NOTE that we’ll talk about the upcoming Chiron Station/Retrograde phases in Aries, and the upcoming Solar Eclipse in Cancer.

If People Hung on Your Every Word… – Forecast for June 4th – 10th, 2018
For me, last week’s theme was going with the flow, and not judging where the flow wanted to go 😉 Making space for lots of resting and taking it easy, this was definitely the way to go… I feel like I tried everything else and it simply didn’t work 😉 Grand Water Trine at it’s strongest!
This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon; on Thursday, as it aligns with the South Node in Aquarius, Mars starts to slow down (aka “station”), in preparation for its retrograde phase; Neptune starts its station phase on Friday, also preparing for its retrograde phase; and the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Sunday afternoon.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 29.5 hours), Thursday very early morning (for almost 15 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for almost 8.5 hours).
Monday (June 4th):the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. 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 very early morning,at 1:10am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 29.5 hours, until 6:53am EDT (Tuesday morning). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions.
On the one hand, we feel strongly drawn to like-minded people and want to focus on progressing toward our future. On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic — even intimate — connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.
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 all day until Tuesday morning ahead of time.

A Turning Point in Our Thinking — Forecast for May 28th – June 3rd 2018
For me, last week was about allowing myself to be guided, without pushing anything, and being present to the miracles that can take place when I “let go and let God” 😉 This definitely felt connected to the Jupiter/Neptune Trine that was exact last Friday.
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: Mars goes retrogradeat the end of June and remains so all summer (Mars will be in Aquarius, moving back into Capricorn). What might this mean for us individually, especially when it comes to the healing journey around our masculine energies?

Ok, let’s take a look at this week’s headline items: Mercury squares the Solar Eclipse degree on Monday; the Full Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact and Mercury changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Tuesday — and a Grand Trine in the Water-element is at its strongest on Friday and Saturday.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for 5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for 27 hours), Friday late evening (for 18.5 hours) and Sunday night/Monday very early morning (for a little over 29.5 hours).
Monday (May 28th): the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 6:29pm EDT. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s thus an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can thus be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.
Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Monday around 10:43am EDT: when it reaches 27 degrees of Taurus, Mercury will square the degree of Feb. 15th’s Solar Eclipse; this could signify a turning point in how we…

Dissolve Fears — Forecast for May 21st – 27th, 2018
Last week was my Birthday, and I had an amazing day. Thanks so much for all the amazing Birthday wishes 😉 Uranus in Taurus in my 7th House feels pretty good so far! 🙂

This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday late evening; and a long-lasting Jupiter/Neptune Trine becomes exact on Friday early morning. There will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).
Monday (May 21st): the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo and VoCuntil 10:03pm EDT. With the Moon in Leo, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
Moon VoC until 10:03pm EDT: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.
On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic — even intimate — connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.
Monday at 10:03pm EDT, the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early 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 later this evening).

Monday at 11:49pm EDT, the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of Virgo becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Virgo. The Moon in detail-oriented, helpful and practical Virgo makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, fast-thinking and busy Gemini.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, or 0-3 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeoorCancer(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Tuesday (May 22nd): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Monday late evening for details).
Tuesday afternoon, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.
We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths — how might this be true for you?
Until Thursday night, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities — so “opportunities” are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow — we have to “take” them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,Cancer, or 0-4 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius or Leo? 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 Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).
Tuesday late evening, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.
Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.
Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else’s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 14-18 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn or Cancer? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)
Wednesday (May 23rd): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Monday late evening for details).
Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning, a Mercury/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.
It asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we think we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.
Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways — here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring, just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what “bigger picture” would I see?
We generally feel quite 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, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships 🙂
Expect a lot of talking and sharing — and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well… As best as you can, take an “observer” position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.
In other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body’s wisdom.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).
Wednesday at 10:55am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for 16 hours, until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.
Wednesday late evening, a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect become exact at 10:39pm EDT; we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th.
This aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.
We have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Gemini, Aquarius, or Libra? If so, you may feel more blessed 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 rules Aries)
Thursday (May 24th): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo and VoCuntil 2:52am EDT (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).
Thursday at 2:52am EDT, the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. 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 — and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might prefer.
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.
Thursday early morning: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies — on the one hand, taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world — and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?
Thursday morning: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.
Thursday afternoon: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating — stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.
Thursday early evening: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.
Friday (May 25): the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day (see Thursday very early morning for details).
Friday morning, a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter’s and Neptune’s Station phases, we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.
Extravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors — and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.
Our intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally — in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships — and this is also true on a collective level.
Generosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family — a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.
This can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it’s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius, Capricorn or Pisces (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)
Friday late morning, a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. Our words and our “speaking” are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.
We are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in18-24 degrees ofTaurus, Capricorn orVirgo? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign inGemini, VirgoorScorpio(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)
Friday at 5:04pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for 16.5 hours, until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.
Saturday (May 26th): the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra and VoCuntil 9:39am EDT (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).
Saturday very early morning, a Venus/Saturn opposition becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives — at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.
This can be eye-opening — a signal to work on improving the “ways” (as well as the “things”) that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what’s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.
We could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need — and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent “going through the motions” on a social and/or mental level.
Our goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this — and on an external level with others.
Think back to late Dec., 2017, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in Capricorn. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?
In other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven’t) learned since then… Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? 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 Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)
Saturday at 9:39am EDT, the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until next week, Monday evening (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s thus an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can thus be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.
Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Sunday (May 27th): the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Saturday late morning for details).
Saturday night/Sunday very early morning: for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings — our home is our castle.
Sunday early morning: we are invited toconnect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.
Sunday late afternoon: we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!
A heads up for next Monday (May 28th): the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 6:29pm EDT. At 1:25pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course, that last for 5 hours, until 6:29pm EDT. Also, on Monday at 6:29pm EDT, the Moon enters optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Thursday morning.This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact next week, Tuesday late morning). More about the details in next weeks forecast.
One More Announcement:
Join me for my next FORECASTING FORUM on Thursday, May 31st at 4pm PDT/ 7pm EDT/Midnight BST (London-time). Please note that we will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June. Mars will be in Aquarius, moving back into Capricorn. What does this mean for our current Healing journey of our masculine energies?
Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:

Restless & Impatient – Forecast for May 14th – 20th, 2018
Personally, last week was all about getting myself back into shape — physically, mentally and emotionally — I’m getting ready for all the awesome change that’s coming our way this month! Yahooooo! Bring it on! 🙂
A quick announcement before we get started: Because it is my birthday this week, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a 30% discount on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone — especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I’m running this special during my birthday week only 🙂
To take advantage of the special offer, click here and add one or more coaching sessions — and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: BIRTHDAY_GIFT
PS: If you are holding back because you can’t do a session this week, don’t worry — you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 — and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions 😉 Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!
This week’s headline items: We have several planets changing signs this week — Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).
In addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).
Monday (May 14th): the Moon remains in 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 until Tuesday late afternoon? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday early morning: The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you’re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.
Monday late afternoon, we have an opportunity to…

On May 15th, 2018, Uranus will move into Taurus; it will journey through that sign for almost 8 years, until April 26th, 2026 — with the exception of a retrograde period that will temporarily return it to Aries from Nov. 6th, 2018, to March 6th, 2019.
Whenever a planet moves into a new sign, it’s a good idea to look back at the last time it made that transit — to quote Mark Twain, “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes” — things obviously won’t go exactly the same, but we can expect a certain resonance or similarity. Uranus is an outer planet that takes a long time to go around the Sun; the last time it moved through Taurus was between June 1934 and May 1942; before that, it was from July 1850 – March 1859.
Before we look at those periods of history, let’s talk briefly about the themes of Uranus in Taurus, so we can spot those “rhymes” if they occur. What can we expect when disruptive Uranus moves through earthy Taurus? Well, for one thing, it would be wise to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and relaxed with being surprised.
If we were only allowed one word to describe what Uranus does, it would be “disruption”. It’s all about progress, change — but not necessarily gradual, continuous amendment of the old — this is more like breaking down and uprooting the “old” structures.
This is the planet of “vision”, and like all visionaries, it favors a revolution as the quickest way to realize the “ideal future state”. It moves toward more freedom — you could say the higher vibration of Uranus seeks freedom for all, while a lower vibration says “I need to be free to do what I want, and the hell with you”.
Uranus listens to a higher calling — a Divine Mind — and can thus be detached from emotion and “human feeling”. Depending on the vision being pursued, this can be highly beneficial, or very dangerous.
Uranus urges everyone to wake up and smell the coffee, then join together to make coffee like the world has never seen and make sure that nobody ever has to drink mediocre coffee ever again.
Some Uranian keywords: Technology, Innovation, Discovery, Novelty, Ingenuity, Originality, and Astrology.
Uranus has two major modes: Reactive and Intuitive. Look over that list of keywords again and notice how those modes would play out for each one — “reactive” would lead pretty much every time to harm, “intuitive” to life-giving breakthroughs.
As you can probably tell, Uranus celebrates originality and individuality; it loves the rebels and revolutionaries who rally against the “establishment” and their established thought — or who at least put a new spin on old things. It can also go overboard and end up steering an erratic course onto the rocks.
So much for Uranus — what of Taurus? Taurus is connected to…

Of course, you are a unique individual, having a unique experience in this ever-unfolding universe — so this major shift will affect you uniquely. To learn more, take a look (if you can) at the placement of the following in your birth chart:
* Uranus
* Aquarius
* Taurus
In addition to that birth chart research, look for the position and journey of your transiting Venus — it will give you great insight into what you can expect from your personal (r)evolution, as Uranus proceeds on its almost 8-year transit through Taurus.
If you want to know how Uranus’s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; for more info or to purchase, click here The fee for this is only $37, even though this webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual Forecasting Forums — partly because we also cover Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027. Special Offer: if you sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership by May 31st, you will get this 2-hour webinar for FREE 😉
Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees ofTaurus, Scorpio, LeoorAquariuswill feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was also in Taurus 84 years ago. If you were born 1934-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years. A new cycle begins on your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.
Have an amazing new exploration of your own values and connections to the Earth, your body, your resources, etc.
Love and blessings,
Sonja

Personally, last week was all about getting the ball rolling on things that had been on hold since the Mercury Retrograde started in March — yay for Mercury exiting its shadow phase!!!
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
You may remember that I’ve been talking a lot recently about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus (aspects that remain relevant until 2026). If you’d like to learn how these major two planetary shifts might impact you personally, you may want to catch this free 15-min excerpt… from my recent Forum…
“SUPER-GREAT Forum Sonja – I learned sooo much – can’t wait to re-listen – thank you!!!”— Mary Beth W.
This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday and the Balsamic Moon phase begins Friday. Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).
Monday (May 7th): the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinkingAquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. 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. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).
Monday early morning, a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 4:52am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). This aspect creates some tension in our lives. We may feel anxious or stressed by one or more situations or interactions to do with…

Last week was an inner journey towards acceptance — and finding my inner and outer balance.
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
Chiron, the Wounded Healer, already started to make its first pass into Aries; and Uranus, the awakener, makes its first pass into Taurus in May. Please note that there are major shifts ahead!

This week’s headline items: Two shadow phases end this week — Mercury’s on Thursday (late in the afternoon) and Pluto’s on Saturday. In addition, there will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 12.5 hours), Thursday late evening (almost 1.5 hours) and Sunday late morning (1 hour).
Monday (April 30th):the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpiountil Tuesday late morning. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can thus be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.
Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

The moment Chiron moved into Aries last week, I could feel my focus shift towards the physical body; I also observed my anger in a different way. Since I have Mars (the ruler of Aries) natally in Pisces in my 4th House, I could also feel a desire to slow down…
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
Last chance to sign up for my upcoming MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM, next week Monday, April 30th, 2018 at 12pmPDT/ 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time).

This week’s headline items: On Tuesday, Venus moves from Taurus into Gemini and Saturn ends its station. The Full Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Sunday evening.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for almost 15.5 hours) and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for almost 2 hours).
Monday (April 23rd):the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late afternoon. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy…

On April 17th, 2018 at 4:12am EDT,Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic Aries, where it will journey until Sept. 25th, 2018 — you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in Feb. 2019… and then stay in that sign for 8 years!
What is the significance of Chiron? It’s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the “Wounded Healer”, it reminds us of our humanity — and guides us to see it as a gift.
When we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as “wrong” or “bad”, our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.
Let’s look now at Chiron in Aries: The day after Chiron moves into Aries,…

Were you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 – March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your natal chart, and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9 years. This means that one cycle of your Healing Journey is coming to an end, and a new one is beginning: you are getting a chance at leaving the past behind, and moving forward with greater acceptance of your own humanity.
Is your natal Chiron in the first House of your Birth chart? Is the ruler of your natal Chiron’s sign in Aries or in your first House? You too will be able to relate to the Hero’s Healing Journey…
In our Forum on April 31st, we talked about Chiron in Aries (and Uranus in Taurus) in relationship to our own birth charts — major shifts ahead! Feel free to purchase this webinar here — if you haven’t seen it yet.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Aries, Libra, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you will be more affected by this transit over the next 5.5 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries, since Chiron will move through this sign for the next 8-9 years..

The theme of last week for me was that of letting go, releasing, and stepping back into my inner spark and joy, completely present to myself and with life. This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! 🙂
This week’s headline items: Pluto’s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening — starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase — while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening. Mercury’s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.
There will also be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).
Monday (April 16th):the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries until 4:51am EDT.At 1:59am EDT, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 3 hours, until 4:51am EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can,…

Join Sonja as she shares about several upcoming astrological events:
* New Moon in 26º of Aries (exact on April 15th, 2018 at 9:57pm EDT)
* Mars is the ruler of Aries; it’s currently in Capricorn, sextiling Neptune in Pisces
* Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn
* The New Moon aligns with Uranus in Aries — and squares Pluto and Mars in Capricorn
* Pluto and Saturn are stationing, and therefore exalted
* Mercury has been retrograde in Aries and will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon (on April 15th)
* On April 17th, Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde
* Chiron in 29 degrees of Pisces, therefore exalted — and moves into Aries on April 17th
* Best and most potent times for setting Intentions
If you felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would you go about “building”?
What if you were the one who inspires others and makes a difference?
What if you dared to lead responsibly and with integrity?
Do you have an Ascendant (or personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of Aries, Libra, Capricorn or Cancer?
Sonja’s next MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM — which is a 90-minute webinar — will be on Monday, April 30th at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time). PLEASE NOTE that we will talk about Chiron and Uranus changing signs — Chiron moves into Aries, Uranus moves into Taurus. Big shifts ahead!

My inner dialog last week: “Don’t lose your shit over every little mishap, especially not when Mercury is still Retrograde in Aries, squaring Saturn in Capricorn! This too shall pass…” 😉
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
If you missed last week’s FORECASTING FORUM, you may want to catch the mp4 video we recorded. We talked about this month’s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases this month, as they relate to our own Birth charts. If you’d like to purchase this webinar separately, click here.
In the next Forum, we’ll be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus — major shifts! And here’s the Special Offer: if you sign up for the next Forum by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE 😉
If you’re on the fence about signing up for the next Forum, this testimonial might give you some clarity:
“Thanks for another informative and spot-on interpretation of what is happening with the Station and Retrograde phases this month (in yesterday’s monthly forecasting forum) just brilliant” — A.D.
This week’s headline items: Saturn starts to slow down (aka “station”) on Monday, and this will intensify on Saturday. Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt — ending it’s retrograde phase — on Sunday morning).
In other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.
And of course, the week wouldn’t be complete without some Moon VoC phases — though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.
Monday (April 9th): the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn and VoCuntil 2:50am EDT. At that point, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. 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.
Also on Monday, Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of Capricorn.“Stationing” is when a planet moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes…

A Solid Foundation — Forecast for April 2nd – 8th, 2018
Last week, I experienced lots of re-communicating, internet interruptions, frustration around misunderstandings, and typos… if I didn’t know that Mercury was retrograde in Aries right now, I probably would have thought I was cursed 🙂 haha
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
Last chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM, this Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at 10amPDT/ 1pm EDT/6pm BST (London-time). Please note that we will be talking about the upcoming Station and Retrograde phases in April: Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn. And Mars, the warrior-archetype, will be part of this mix as well….
If you want to align yourself with these powerful planetary movements, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.
Other than booking a reading with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s now $37 for the 90+ minute webinar.

This week’s headline items: Pluto starts its station phase on Friday (preparing for its retrograde phase) and the last Quarter Moon becomes exact on Sunday early morning. There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for almost 15 hours), Friday morning (almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (a little over 4 hours).
Monday (April 2nd):the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until Wednesday very early morning. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at…

* T-square with Mars and Saturn in Capricorn as the focal point: Mars & Saturn squaring the Moon in Libra, and the Sun/Mercury alignment in Aries

Last week I experienced the reintegration of some trauma, in a very powerful way (and with the support of some very powerful Evolutionary Astrologers). It was also my privilege to be with some really brilliant Astrologers and Healers over the last several days at an Astrology conference in Seattle.

For me personally, last week’s theme was trusting my heart over my conditioned mind… Seeing the wisdom and possibilities that emerge when my heart leads, seeing what is possible when “All is One” leads — realizing that the power of my love towards myself and others is greater than any fear, division, or the illusion of separation between all of our hearts.

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s station intensifies on Monday; the planet comes to a halt on Thursday, beginning its 3.5 week retrograde. Jupiter’s Station phase ends on Tuesday and the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries, early that afternoon (this also marks the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere). Beginning Thursday early morning, it’s time to take actions on the New Moon Intentions; and the first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Saturday late morning.
There will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for a little over 12 hours), and Friday late evening (for 5 hours).
Monday (March 19th):the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-pacedAries, where it will journey until 9:07pm EDT. 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…

"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!"

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.
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 🙂
For me, last week’s theme was going with the flow, and not judging where the flow wanted to go 😉 Making space for lots of resting and taking it easy, this was definitely the way to go… I feel like I tried everything else and it simply didn’t work 😉 Grand Water Trine at it’s strongest!
For me, last week was about allowing myself to be guided, without pushing anything, and being present to the miracles that can take place when I “let go and let God” 😉 This definitely felt connected to the Jupiter/Neptune Trine that was exact last Friday.
Last week was my Birthday, and I had an amazing day. Thanks so much for all the amazing Birthday wishes 😉 Uranus in Taurus in my 7th House feels pretty good so far! 🙂
Personally, last week was all about getting myself back into shape — physically, mentally and emotionally — I’m getting ready for all the awesome change that’s coming our way this month! Yahooooo! Bring it on! 🙂
On May 15th, 2018, Uranus will move into Taurus; it will journey through that sign for almost 8 years, until April 26th, 2026 — with the exception of a retrograde period that will temporarily return it to Aries from Nov. 6th, 2018, to March 6th, 2019.
Personally, last week was all about getting the ball rolling on things that had been on hold since the Mercury Retrograde started in March — yay for Mercury exiting its shadow phase!!!
Last week was an inner journey towards acceptance — and finding my inner and outer balance. 
The moment Chiron moved into Aries last week, I could feel my focus shift towards the physical body; I also observed my anger in a different way. Since I have Mars (the ruler of Aries) natally in Pisces in my 4th House, I could also feel a desire to slow down…
On April 17th, 2018 at 4:12am EDT, Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic Aries, where it will journey until Sept. 25th, 2018 — you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in Feb. 2019… and then stay in that sign for 8 years!
The theme of last week for me was that of letting go, releasing, and stepping back into my inner spark and joy, completely present to myself and with life. This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! 🙂
