Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 15th:

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey through this sign until Tuesday late evening. With this placement, life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Monday morning, we are ready to make a courageous move. Follow your instincts as best as you can: you know better than anyone what’s best for you. (Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Aries, exact at 6:59am EDT)

Monday evening has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with and around our ability to be assertive; this allows us to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations. (Moon conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 9:01pm EDT)

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:41am EDT: if you are awake at this time, you may feel the 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, we want to connect on a practical level and share our most precise observations with others — and on the other hand, we feel the need to be independent, move fast, and be actively engaged with life. (Moon in Aries quincunxes Mercury in Virgo, exact at 12:41am EDT)

Haste Makes Waste — Astrology Forecast for Aug. 8th – 14th, 2022

This week’s headline items: Uranus starts to slow down (station) on Wednesday, preparing for its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase; Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Thursday afternoon and the Full Moon in Aquarius becomes exact that evening; Mars opposes the degree of May 16th’s Lunar Eclipse on Friday morning.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for a little over 8 hours); Wednesday early afternoon (for a little over 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for 5.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, a quick reminder:

Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this week…please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

To ask a question in advance; please email me by Aug. 12th by the end of the workday,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 8th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:39pm EDT; with this placement, 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, 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 morning, at 6:30am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 8 hours until 2:39pm EDT. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.

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

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

Monday afternoon, at 2:39 pm EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and 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 — and it is transiting through Aquarius, making this a great time to look at our visions for humanity and anything we would like to accomplish long-term within our local or online communities.

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people; as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago?

Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now and where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to?

Monday late afternoon, a harmonious Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:01pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Aug. 5th) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This creates a supportive environment for healing our insecurities.

We can bring greater awareness to our feelings of shame and any self-deprecating thoughts or behaviors. Paradoxically, we have the chance to shine, largely because we project self-respect and modesty. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths. Where might this be true for you?

Something else that supports healing our insecurities is a sense that we are pursuing a worthy goal — this could be something as simple as a desire to create and express ourselves, or simply acceptance of our own/human complexities while expressing ourselves creatively or otherwise.

Ask yourself: How open can I be to being courageously myself, with all my sensitivities and insecurities? How complex could I allow myself to be? How about everyone else out there in the world? Could I give others permission to be just as complex?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or one or more personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (as the Sun rules Leo).

The Necessity for a Healthy Relationship with the Physical World

This week’s headline items: Mars aligns with North Node and Uranus in Taurus on Monday afternoon; on Tuesday afternoon, the Sun squares the degree of April 30th’s Solar Eclipse, and it is also time to take actions on your New Moon intentions; Mercury changes signs from Leo to Virgo very early on Thursday morning; Jupiter’s Station phase ends later on Thursday (remaining retrograde until Nov. 23rd); last but not least, the First Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Friday morning.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 5.5 hours); Thursday very early morning (for 5.5 hours), and Saturday morning (a little over 5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 1st:

Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking): first of all, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day.

With this placement, our focus is on the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

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

Monday morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 7:23am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday morning (July 31st), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).

This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of “awkward” — and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run far ahead of what is feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.

Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What’s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?

Note that I say “overlap”: Don’t look for an exact fit; this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn’t make sense… and it doesn’t — it can’t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to “hang out” with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-26 degrees of Leo or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

Around 2pm EDT Monday, Mars aligns with the North Node in 18.5º of Taurus. We started to feel this alignment build from last Thursday morning (July 28th), and it will remain strong until this Saturday. The last time this alignment took place in any sign was in late March 2021 (in Gemini); the last time we had one in Taurus was in February 2004!

Think back to February of 2004: what steps did you take back then to see your own value more clearly? Where did you indicate new ways of sharing your talents or your resources?

The North Node represents uncharted territory — an area of our lives where we must grow, even if it’s scary, even if it requires effort on our part — but this effort will be rewarded, and usually feels fulfilling.

The North Node in Taurus emphasizes the necessity for organic self-esteem and a healthy relationship with the physical world — with our bodies, resources, and the Earth. The goal is to experience happiness in connection with the physical realm.

Mars aligning with the North Node brings an activating energy to everything concerning Taurus: the enjoyment of our physical world and physical body, as well as an understanding of our value, and what talents and resources we are bringing to the table.

We are ready to roll up our sleeves and do the work: it’s time to develop more awareness around what our own values genuinely are, versus those we may have adopted or inherited.

It takes courage to engage with North Node issues, so ask yourself: What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who honors and loves themselves, and is not afraid to have different values from others?

Mars also aligns with Uranus later today, so please also read the entry about the Mars/Uranus alignment in Taurus that will be exact later this evening, at 7:53pm EDT (see below).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries (Mars is the ruler of Aries)

Monday evening, at 6:29pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, until 12:06am EDT (Monday night/Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to empower each other around earthly issues and support each other in practical ways. Your attention to detail is enhanced; you might implement new health routines or other systems that support your long-term goals.

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

Also, on Monday evening, a Mars/Uranus alignment in 18.5 degrees of Taurus becomes exact at 7:53pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Wednesday evening (July 27th), and it will remain strong until this Saturday evening.  This connection brings a lot of nervous energy with it: we will most likely feel sudden spurts of energy moving through our bodies; this could make us rash in thought and deed. We may experience sudden insights about ourselves and our valued goals.

Ask yourself: What might it look like to consciously break away from situations that have limited me when it came to honoring myself and my talents? Where could I channel my courage? Where do I need to “think different”? Act differently? Might a deep breath into my belly calm my nervous system?

Our willingness to innovate is strong with this alignment: new ways of seeing, using, and approaching our personal possessions, valuables, money, and talents are in focus.

This alignment between Uranus and Mars also asks us to break away from anything keeping us from honoring our uniqueness and quirks — whatever keeps us in a rut, collectively and individually.

Ask yourself: What if — in small or large ways — I could help birth a new age and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?

Please be extra conscious when driving. Do your best to channel the extra energy in a productive way: physical exercise is great for this, as is consciously breaking away from situations that have limited you — up until now. And (this is always wise)… As best as you can, stay grounded and keep breathing 

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Aquarius (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:06am EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Thursday 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. 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.

This week’s headline items: Jupiter’s Station in Aries intensifies on Monday; the New Moon in Leo becomes exact on Thursday early afternoon; Jupiter comes to a halt and starts its 4-month Retrograde phase on Thursday late afternoon; Chiron ends its Station phase in Aries on Saturday (while remaining Retrograde).

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 9.5 hours); Wednesday evening (a little over 5.5 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (almost 14 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 25th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 1:54pm EDT. With this placement, 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 in the very early morning, a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 2:13am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (July 22nd) and it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around money, valuing ourselves, and our relationships.

It also challenges us to step out of our comfort zone and grow beyond who we thought we were when we were growing up (or in the past).

We are also invited to investigate how we view our connections to family and home. We are called to grow beyond our current understanding of what our values led us to pursue until now.

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.

Ask yourself: What assumptions am I operating from in connection with money that are based in my past and no longer applicable? What are the assumptions around love? Where am I overindulging, based on what I think I deserve, rather than what I truly need?

We mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time, but 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 around our personal projects or leadership abilities; as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.

What are you observing about yourself and your emotional connections with others? What is enough… and what is too much?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-12 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, 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 Taurus, Libra, or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Monday in the early morning, at 4:14am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 9.5 hours, until 1:54pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — you may also need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to your inner, intuitive, or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

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 morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.

Monday early afternoon, at 1:54pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.

Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it — otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies.

Also on Monday, Jupiter’s Station intensifies at almost 9º of Aries, as it is preparing to come to a halt on Thursday afternoon (starting its 4-month Retrograde phase… more on that later…). This intensified station will last until July 30th. We will feel Jupiter’s energy even more forcefully during this time.

As I mentioned last Friday already, when a planet stations, we start to be more fully aware of its energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies as they exist within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.

The lower expressions of Jupiter include “Oh, the heck with it”, “I deserve this and more”, and “the rules do not apply to me” — generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overpromising, and overindulgence.

Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendant) in 7-11 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Cancer, or Libra will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects)

Dig Out the Truth About Your Feelings & the World You’ve Built

This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Tuesday morning; Chiron in Aries comes to a halt and begins its 5-month Retrograde phase on Tuesday late morning; on Wednesday late morning, the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact and Mars (in Taurus) moves over the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th); Jupiter starts its Station phase on Friday; the Sun changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Friday late afternoon; on Sunday late morning, the Balsamic Moon phase begins, and Mercury (in Leo) squares the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th).

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 4.5 hours); Wednesday late morning (4 hours), and Friday evening (almost 5.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, a quick reminder:

Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this week…please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

Or click here for more info and to register, for this month only.
(Registration includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!)

To ask a question in advance; please email me by July 22nd by the end of the workday,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 18th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 7:17am EDT. 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.

Monday very early morning, at 2:43am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for 4.5 hours, until 7:17am EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve you long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart that stir you towards success.

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

Monday very early morning, a Mercury/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 3:01am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (July 16th), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This opposition might bring up some profound issues that need to be discussed. Obsessive thinking, attempts to persuade, insistence on knowing the “truth” or exposing lies, are all possibilities now.

We are capable of very hard work and exertion. In particular, we tend to pursue ideas with intensity, making this an excellent time for any kind of research or in-depth study. We may not be able to put our inner thoughts and experiences into words — and maybe that’s as well, given the darkness and intensity of those thoughts.

We may develop a great love of debate, but we need to be careful not to overpower others with our strong opinions, in our efforts to “convert” them — in other words, treating debates or exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds.

Intense conversations and connections feel more “real” than superficial ones. We want to dig out the truth about our feelings and the world we’ve built. As best as you can, try not to obsess about what someone said to you, or what you’ve heard: We may take things personally that were actually meant to empower us. Here’s what it comes down to: Could you allow yourself to go deeper and tap into your true inner power?

As best as you can, take it one moment at a time; as best you can, resolve issues through cooperation and stay objective. When you notice that you are taking things personally and starting to get defensive, take a deep breath and ask yourself: Is this really about me? Or my past issues? Or theirs? How can I ground myself in the here and now? What might change if I decided to focus on nurturing myself?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra, or 0-1 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? 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 Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio).

Monday, at 7:17am EDT, the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey there until Wednesday afternoon (July 20th). Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Let your Intuition Guide you in Money & Love

This week’s headline items: the second of three US Pluto Returns (in 27.5º of Capricorn) will be exact on Monday; on Tuesday, Chiron’s station in Aries intensifies, and Neptune’s station in Pisces finally ends (with the planet now in its Retrograde phase); the Full Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Sunday late evening.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for a little over 7 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 4 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for almost 4 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, just a gentle reminder:

Due to a family matter, I will be taking a break from creating Full Moon videos until the end of the summer. All other Member content (including Full Moon articles, New Moon videos, New Moon articles, and my Weekly Forecasts) will continue uninterrupted.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 11th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. With this Moon placement, 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, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than take orders.

With the Moon in  Sagittarius, inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see. As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you.

Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.

Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Aries, making this a great couple of days to explore our individual passions and goals. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your own desires — and get excited about new paths and new projects.

Ask yourself: What might open up if I became more connected to “I am that I am”? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards myself and my personal passions and goals?

What might promote my independence and me walking my own path? What might do the same for growth around my sexuality and my human identity? What personal beliefs about my identity am I now ready to explore or go beyond?

Use today to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of our own personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

Monday late evening, at 9:42pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 7 hours, until 5:01am EDT (Tuesday early morning). As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.

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

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

Also on Monday, the second of three US Pluto Returns this year becomes exact at 27º33’ of Capricorn; the first was exact on Feb. 20th. The process of transformation has begun. You might even say that this process already started 5 years ago, in January 2017, when Pluto started to approach its exact return point (coming within 10º of its natal position).

This is a once-every-248-year event that facilitates a major breakdown and rebirthing process — and since the United States is a fairly young country, she is experiencing this transformative event for the first time since the country was founded in 1776. The re-birthing process is a long one, but the initiation will be completed by Dec. 28th, 2022: A new era begins ==> Feel free to also watch my video on the subject.

Open to Forgiving Yourself? And Others?

This week’s headline items: Neptune in Pisces is still exalted, as it is stationing all week; from Monday morning on, it is time to start taking action on our New Moon intentions; Mars changes signs from Aries to Taurus, and Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer, very early on Tuesday; the first Quarter Moon in Libra is exact on Wednesday late evening; Chiron starts to slow down (station) in Aries on Saturday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for almost 4.5 hours); Thursday late evening (for a little over 4 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 4 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me share something important:

To everyone who celebrates 4th of July… Happy Independence Day! The second Pluto Return of the USA is approaching… exact on July 11th. Feel free to watch my video on the subject, here.

If you are feeling the intensity of the times we live in, and could use some support or peace of mind, give yourself the gift of a Coaching-Healing session!

For anyone who has never done a session with me, I would like to offer the first 30 minutes for free and if you don’t see any benefit for yourself after 30 minutes, we can end the session then and there (no questions asked) — and if you do, we would continue for another 50 minutes and make your first session an 80-minute session, all for the same price as my regular 50-minute sessions.

Simply email me if you would like to give it a shot! Looking forward to supporting you!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 4th:

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day and will journey there until Tuesday evening; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

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

Monday morning, from 9:03am EDT on, it is time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions — if you set Intentions on June 28th, 29th or 30th last week, after the New Moon became exact, this morning will be the best time to start taking relevant actions.

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?

Monday late morning, we feel a need to be precise and practical in our thinking and with our work, and we also want to connect, interact and learn from others. This tension invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions — the key here is to be of service, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.

You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself! (Moon in Virgo squares Venus in Gemini, exact at 11:38am EDT) 

Monday afternoon, calls for some 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 heal our relationship with the inner masculine (assertiveness/anger, leadership, taking actions) — and on the other, the need to tend to our daily work or health routines. (Moon in Virgo quincunxes Chiron in Aries, exact at 4:22pm EDT)

Monday evening, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail.

We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable. (Moon in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 7:23pm EDT)

Prepared to Go to Any Lengths

This week’s headline items: Neptune comes to a halt (starting its 5-month retrograde phase) very early on Tuesday and the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday late evening. The 45-day window of the Lunar Eclipse’s impact closes Thursday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for a little over 9 hours); Thursday late afternoon (almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday morning (2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I just wanted to thank those of you who…

… sent their condolences on YouTube or via Facebook. It was a difficult week for me and my husband. Saying goodbye to our beloved cat after 20 years of living together and going through so many life changes and challenges was definitely hard. I am glad that she is no longer in pain and has found peace, but my heart is grieving. She was really special.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 27th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day, and it will journey there until Tuesday morning. With this placement, 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 morning, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:46am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (June 25th), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete minds and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, social media, or email interactions.

We are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like “impatient self-talk”, or the use of aggressive language (swear words for example).

Here are a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family’s attitude towards communication? Toward speaking up for yourself? What if you tried a kinder approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 3 or 5 years old? What if you tried using a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?

For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron Workshop: “Healing with Astrology” Click here for more info. Please keep in mind that as a Member of my online community you have automatic access to this workshop. Go to My Courses.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 14-18 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Leo? 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 or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Monday evening, an opportune Mars/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:29pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (June 24th), and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This aspect is an opportunity to have more self-discipline and self-motivation in our lives — we could find an increased focus on our work and activities, coupled with a sense of purpose.

We have a chance to face life with more purpose and maturity. We tend to be more practical than usual, and our progress in most projects is perhaps slow but steady. This can be a very productive time in our lives. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — this isn’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make the most of it. It’s our choice.

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 23-27 degrees of Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, or Gemini? 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 Aries or Capricorn (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Monday late evening, at 10:38pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 9 hours, until 7:53am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — you may also need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to your inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

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

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on June 18th in the early evening.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 20th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 11:37pm EDT. 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, especially 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 until later this evening. This Moon placement also started the build-up to the last Quarter Moon, exact very late this evening.

Monday very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 3:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night (June 17th/18th), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we share what’s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.

This connection also creates a possibility of an expansion by stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and taking indicative. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.

As with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored? Are you ready to expand your mind? Your thinking?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-9 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Monday late evening, at 11:11pm EDT, the last Quarter Moon becomes exact in 29.5º of Pisces (an exalted degree). This is also the second last Quarter Moon in Pisces within the last four weeks. The first one was on May 22nd, towards the end of Eclipse season. Think back to that week (May 22nd – 29th), and ask yourself: What needed adjustment in my life back then?

The Moon in creative, sensitive Pisces makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in versatile, fast-thinking Gemini. This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed — and what needs to be changed.

This Moon phase brings us closer to the next New Moon in Cancer (on June 28th). As always, with the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What have you discovered since May 30th? What did it mean for you?

As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up between yourself and others — and for any internal conflicts.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 0-4 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius or 29 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this month’s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

At the same time as the last Quarter Moon becomes exact, we enter a brief Moon VoC, that will last for 26 mins, until 11:37pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to stretch and grow — to undertake a process of adjusting your thoughts. You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible, don’t rush into anything — and go within whenever possible.

See if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, allow for daydreaming, naps, or intuitive self-expression. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Monday at 11:37pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 13th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. 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 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.

This Moon placement also starts the build towards the upcoming Full Moon in Sagittarius (exact tomorrow morning, Tuesday) — feel free to watch my video on the subject, or read my Full Moon article here!

Monday late morning, at 11:27am EDT, Mercury re-enters chatty, versatile Gemini where it will journey until July 5th; due to its recent Retrograde phase, it was already in Gemini from April 29th until May 22nd. 

Think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any conversations that I need to revisit? Was there any information (especially in connection with learning or understanding something) that I wanted to go after?

For the next 3 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: Mercury — the energy of communication — will pick up the pace of our lives just a little.

Mental exchanges and abilities take priority for the next 3 weeks — talking, writing, sharing, and connecting to the world around us in whatever way we can (internet, phone, in person, TV, radio…). This is a time with great potential for studying and learning, curiosity and open-mindedness, and social/intellectual growth.

Make sure you don’t exhaust yourself during this time. As best as you can, keep taking breaks and let yourself see the larger picture now and again. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the pick up in pace more strongly.

Monday evening, we have lots of energy and a positive attitude towards life. As best as you can, start something you feel passionate or enthusiastic about — what projects come to mind? What would be a fantastic use for all the physical energy that you have currently access to?  (Moon in Sagittarius trines Mars in Aries, exact at 6:05pm EDT)

Also on Monday evening, we might find ourselves wanting to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart, aimed at a renewing our enthusiasm for life. We are capable of being compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best. (Moon in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 7:57pm EDT)

Monday late evening, 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 mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need for breakthroughs or change connected to the physical plane.

We need to ask ourselves here: What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable? Or 5% more comfortable embracing uncertainty? (Moon in Sagittarius quincunxes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 9:40pm EDT)

An Opportunity for Self-Healing

This week’s headline items: Saturn will still be exalted (stationing) all week; Venus moves over the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th, 2022) on Monday morning; the first Quarter Moon in Virgo is exact on Tuesday late morning; on Saturday, Mercury ends its Station phase and goes direct.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: the first couple of hours of Monday are taken up with a VoC that started the previous day (it lasts until 2:22am EDT Monday). Other VoC phases this week: Wednesday morning (for a little over 3 hours); Friday early afternoon (just over 3 hours), and a brief one on Sunday early evening (50 minutes).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I quick reminder:

Next week Saturday, on June 18th, will be our next Forecasting Forum — please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

OR
click here for more info and to register, for this month only.

(non-Members get access to this month’s Full Moon video when they register
& registration also includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!).

To ask a question in advance; please email me by June 15th by the end of the workday,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 6th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo & VoC until 2:22am EDT.  If you are awake before 2:22am EDT, use the remainder of 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 creative self-expression and fun, and also for talking, learning, or writing about physical pleasures and what is most important to you on the physical plane.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Monday, at 2:22am EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Wednesday late 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 also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

This Moon placement also begins the build-up to the first Quarter Moon, exact on Tuesday late morning.

Monday early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (June 3rd), and it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (June 9th). This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and bring 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 morning (June 9th), 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 13-18 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).

Monday morning, around 7:30am EDT, Venus reaches 10.5 degrees of Taurus; she aligns with the degree of April 30th’s Solar Eclipse.

This might trigger some relationship or self-worth issues connected to our personal preferences, or financial resources we have (or lack); 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 be open to more heartfelt interactions around our Soul’s journey and whatever is next for us?

Second: how else could we tap more into our heart energy to feel more abundant and stable? What messages are we receiving today that might deliver a better understanding of this process? What needs to be addressed? Particularly around honoring ourselves and our talents? How about in terms of our finances?

Give Yourself Extra Time

This week’s headline items: Saturn’s Station phase in Aquarius remains at an intensified level all week; the New Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Monday morning; Mercury’s Station in Taurus intensifies on Tuesday before it goes direct on Friday early morning and begins its post-Shadow phase; Saturn comes to a halt on Saturday early evening as it starts its 4.5-month Retrograde phase; it’s time to start to take action on our New Moon intentions on Saturday evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 10 hours); Friday late morning (a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday evening (a little over 7 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 30th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. For the next 1.5 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 morning, at 7:30am EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 9 degrees of Gemini; this marks not only the beginning of a new Moon cycle, but we are also no longer in Eclipse Season. I also recommend you watch my New Moon video on the subject.

One major thing to note in this New Moon chart is that we have 2 planets in their Station phases — and therefore exalted)— and one of those two planets is also the ruler of this New Moon! As such, something is “in our face” in regards to the energies of Mercury & Saturn, demanding our attention and awareness; I will talk more about all of this below, but first, let’s look at the Gemini influence of this New Moon:

Gemini is the archetype of curiosity, communication in all its forms, and mental connections — it represents the development of language and intelligence, as well as our ability to adapt and relate to our immediate environment.

This is a “busy” energy focused on collecting information. We are invited to look at our mental programming and conditioned mind to see what needs to go — and what new thought structures we might want to engage with.

Since Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) is still in its Retrograde motion until June 3rd, we may need to go over thoughts and information collected before May 10th (the start of the retrograde phase), and engage with new thought structures and information after June 18th (once Mercury has exited its Shadow phase).

Here are some questions you can ask yourself for this New Moon: What motivates me to learn? When I talk to myself about sharing or processing information, what do I typically say? What do I say to myself about being connected to others? About my intellectual capacities? In what area of my life am I a student? A teacher? Am I sometimes both, depending on the day?

The spiritual goal of Gemini is the development of perception, thought, and communication; we are therefore invited to become aware of all the new connections created in the brain with each new thought or memory — and the more we think particular thoughts, the deeper the associated pathways become.

So, ask yourself: What mental paths do I keep heading down, even though I know I don’t need to go there anymore? What if I brought 5% more curiosity to my “self-listening”? Or when connecting with others?

The New Moon sextiles the Jupiter/Mars alignment in Aries; let’s talk a little bit about that planetary alignment first, before we address the Sextile to the New Moon:

Mars’ energy combines with Jupiter’s expansiveness to increase our enthusiasm, liveliness, and optimism. In Aries, this combo is quite fiery — so this could prove a very productive and busy time, particularly when it comes to things we feel passionate about, or strongly identify with.

Feel free to also watch my webinar on the subject, if you haven’t seen it yet — we looked at our own birth charts in connection with those planetary movements, to see how each one of us is personally impacted by this. Click here for more info.

Now, the Sextile of this alignment to the New Moon gives us an opportunity to… To read the whole New Moon article and get access to all of the Coaching questions, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces?  If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.

So, this month, any time between 7:30am (on Monday) and 4:10pm (on Tuesday) would be best, then again from 1:49am until 7:30am (on Wednesday) — please note that all times are given in Eastern Daylight Time — the time zone New York City occupies.

For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here

Monday evening, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 8:19pm EDT)

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 23rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early evening. 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, especially 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 until Tuesday early evening.

Monday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (May 20th), and it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides — it’s an excellent time for following our own path and inspiring others to do the same — and for simply having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident — and inner optimism can bring rewards.

Humor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh wholeheartedly, and see only possibility in our lives, especially around exploring our connections with others, exchanging information, and learning about ourselves; whether these explorations are long-term or short-term, they can bring about a healthy shift of attitude toward our personal goals and passions.

Imagine you have a special lens that shows you the “bigger picture”: What do your beliefs about yourself look like as you gaze through it?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Sagittarius? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). 

Monday very late evening, an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect becomes exact at 11:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (May 22nd) and it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to “take” this one: it will not happen by itself.

Ask yourself: What actions call to me today? How are those actions connected to my personal values? Or to spiritual or creative endeavors that call for a practical approach?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following placements: 27-29 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, or Scorpio, or 0-2 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Sagittarius? 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 Aries (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).

Let Go & Let Flow

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 16th:

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 7:50am EDT; with this Moon placement, we feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉

This Moon placement also started the build-up towards a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, that will be exact today. Feel free to watch my Lunar Eclipse video or read my article on the subject here.

Monday very early morning, at 12:14am EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun (in 25 degrees of Scorpio/Taurus). The entrance of the Moon into Scorpio (on May 14th) began the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.

This powerful Full Moon is a Total Lunar Eclipse that can be viewed in the Central, Eastern, and European Times zones. The duration of totality lasts 85.5 minutes (= 1.5 hrs). This means that we will feel the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for 45 days.

This particular Lunar Eclipse is the second of two Eclipses within a two-week period; it offers an opportunity for a deeper, more authentic connection with ourselves and others. Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind: Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.

During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. If you’d like to learn more, and as a Member of my online community, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video.

As you might know from my last Solar Eclipse video, Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (both collectively and individually). The Moon Nodes remain in polarity for 18 months. They have been in Taurus-Scorpio since Jan. 18th, 2022, highlighting issues around emotional & physical stability, finance, and our relationship with our physical environment and natural resources.

The North Node in Taurus emphasizes the necessity of self-esteem and a healthy relationship with the physical world — with our bodies, resources, and the Earth. The South Node in Scorpio symbolizes our need to face our fears, heal old trauma, and own our power, so we can step into a more passionate relationship with life.

Eclipses reoccur in 19-year cycles. On May 15/16th, 2003, there was a Lunar Eclipse at 24º53’ Scorpio-Taurus, very close to the degree of this Eclipse. Ask yourself: What areas of my life needed to be addressed back then? Where am I being called to make major changes now?

All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved, in this case: The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus.

There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse chart: a T-Square with Saturn in Aquarius as the Focus point, Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio), Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), and Neptune, all make harmonious aspects to the Eclipse polarity, Venus (the ruler of Taurus) aligns with Chiron in Aries, Mercury and Pluto are in their Retrograde motions, Jupiter is in 0º of Aries, and last but not least, Uranus, again, plays a big role in this Eclipse chart — and we will address all of them in a moment.

I should also mention that we focused on both Eclipses, as they relate to our own individual birth charts, in our recent Forecasting Forum “Eclipse season & Pluto Station, April-May 2022”: click here for more info or to purchase this webinar  — and feel free to re-listen to it, if you are already a Star Member — if you are at that Membership level, it was emailed to you on April 16th.

Since this Lunar Eclipse is almost a continuation of the last Lunar Eclipse in November of 2021, in 27º of Taurus-Scorpio, we can check to see how far we have come since then, when it comes to facing our fears and valuing ourselves and our authentic relationships to others. Ask yourself: What fears or inauthentic (or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform if I am to step into greater abundance and happiness in my life?

For the next 45 days, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities and are aware that something needs to be brought into alignment; the balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, and connections — symbolized by Taurus— and our emotional attachments, aversions, and connections (Scorpio).

The time of the Lunar Eclipse brings greater awareness to what was unconscious or hidden previously. This particular one invites us to let go of fears or disempowering behaviors and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution, individually and collectively.

So, here’s this Eclipse’s central question: As a society, are we living in alignment with our values, with what makes us happy and satisfied? How about as individuals? Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled? Are there any fears in our way to achieving progress? Or any rigid thought processes? All right, let’s look at the signs involved in this polarity,… To read the whole Lunar Eclipse article, and get all the Coaching questions, click here.

Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º… so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 25º of Scorpio…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, or 0 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer). 

Monday early morning, at 5:28am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC, that will last for almost 2.5 hours, until 7:50am EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you 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 Monday very early morning until morning ahead of time.

Monday morning, at 7:50am  EDT, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday 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, 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.
