On April 1st, at 2:24am EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 11.5 degrees of Aries. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks that is connected to some sort of healing process has the chance to get off to a great start. Click here to watch my New Moon video on the subject.
This New Moon chart has 3 planets and 3 asteroids in Aries. This line-up in Aries consists of Mercury, the Moon, the Sun, Chiron, Pallas Athena, and Eris. Chiron is the most popular of the asteroids, as it is connected to our Healing Process — and as such, it will be our focus for this New Moon chart.
We are all trying to do our best to show up as “whole beings” in the world, but our conditioning in the Western world is so focused on the masculine (doing, achieving, asserting) approach that we are having a hard time being ourselves completely (no matter what gender we were born into or what we identify as).
The masculine energies traditionally come with a lot of baggage as well. It is rare to see leaders or public figures show up as an example of the “sacred or divine masculine”. The unbalanced or immature version of the masculine brings a need to dominate, violate, force, destroy, overpower, and dictate to others — again this is not gender-specific.
When we look at history, we can very clearly identify this unbalanced, immature masculine energy. Even when we look at our world today, there is still a tremendous amount of this energy present, even though we have already started the process of integrating the divine feminine (allowing, receiving, nurturing, kindness), and healing the traditional masculine (through acceptance of our human limitations and compassion with those limitations).
As we balance our approach more and more, through integrating the divine feminine, and uplifting the sacred masculine, we are more capable to connect on a holistic level to ourselves and others: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Chiron in Aries shows us where we need to take this holistic approach in our lives and embrace ourselves fully and completely (including our insecurities, pain, and shame — in other words: our humanity).
We are being asked to not only embrace our own humanity but to acknowledge and take responsibility for the limitations the traditional masculine brings with it. Only then can we step more fully into the divine masculine — the fire within us that burns for self-realization, freedom to walk our own unique path, and courage to embrace all facets of ourselves (human & spirit). Ask yourself…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 9-14 degrees of either Aries, Libra, Capricorn or Cancer? 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 intentions for this month’s Moon cycle — this process is especially powerful with the New Moon in Aries — and as always, this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact (and definitely not during a Moon void of course).
So this month, we have two opportune times frames for setting intentions: The first one lasts 31.5 hours,between 2:24am on April 1st and 9:51am on April 2nd; the second lasts 13.5 hours,between 12:50pm on April 2nd and 2:24am on April 3rd (as always, all times are EDT- New York time).For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on twitter as I post reminders on April 1st throughout the day, on April 2nd in the morning and then again in the afternoon/evening, to let you know when it is the most potent time to set your intentions 😉

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 26 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for almost 3 hours); and Saturday late morning (for 3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, two quick announcements about upcoming events:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 28th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday very early 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 late morning, at 10:11am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for a little over 26 hours, until 12:32am EDT (Monday night/Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on a long-term vision for your communities that involves a mature and realistic approach. As best as you can, take your time, and do your best to come from a place of integrity.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.
Monday late morning, around 11am EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins in almost 23º ofAquarius. This lasts until Friday very early morning, when the New Moon in Aries becomes exact (more on that later this week…however, feel free to watch my video on the subject.
We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.
This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?
Monday afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in almost 22 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact at 3:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (March 25th) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationships or communities and the things we most value. Relationships feel stable and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly.
We experience a new sense of realism in existing collaborations. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure to a “cause” or long-term goal.
We are ready to face any problems in relationships that have been swept under the carpet — and they will likely surface. Renewed ties to old friends, business collaborators, or group affiliations are possible — as is a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships. This is not the best time to get involved in a brand-new relationship, collaboration, group, or “good cause”.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 19-25 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)

The Jupiter-Neptune alignment in Pisces (exact on April 12th, 2022) signifies a new beginning.
It is the beginning of a 13-year spiritual growth cycle
What does spiritual growth signify for you?
Where are you looking to grow spiritually over the next 13 years?
How will this new cycle impact people with planets or points/angles in 21-26º of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius?
“Thank you, Sonja. I do learn so much from you all the time, and I definitely learned a lot today! I also love that I can refer back to these webinars via the recordings. Thank you. Thank you. Thank You.” — Audrey V.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. 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 therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂
Sunday night/Monday very early morning, a Mercury/Jupiter alignment in almost 19 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 2:06am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night (March 18th) on, and it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. This alignment brings optimism and a tendency to talk and feel things out more; it favors exploring our intuitive world, connection to source, and learning about our ability to feel truly connected to our 6th sense.
We can more readily exercise good judgment, be more philosophical in our thinking, and bring whole-heartedness and compassion to our spiritual or creative endeavors, and connections with animals or beings that need our open heart at this time. There is a sense of mental expansion — we see our interconnectedness with others (and all that is alive) as a source of expansion and spiritual growth.
We are optimistic and enthusiastic, and things tend to go well as a result — it’s all about thinking big and opening our hearts. What if expanding our understanding around intuitive thoughts helped us better understand what it means to be a spirit being experiencing a human existence? What if that expanded understanding showed us how we might grow beyond the illusions of the physical world? What if it showed us how to navigate the physical world in a whole new way? An intuitive, heart-centered way? One that trusted life and our connection to all of life?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-22 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this alignment 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, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mercury’s movements and aspects; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)
Monday early evening,an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 5pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (March 18th) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desires so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.
This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our physical/sexual wounds, as well as any wounds connected to self-identity. The same is true of our affiliations with other people or groups, and our masculine/doing/conquering energies. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.
Ask yourself: What if I brought understanding, compassion, and a kind approach to my reaction to anger (my own or others)? What if connecting to like-minded people that accepted me and my humanity would bring greater peace and acceptance to my wound around self-identity?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-15 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? 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 Aries (Mars rules Aries).

This week’s headline items: Late on Thursday morning, Mercury squares the degree of Dec. 4th’s Solar Eclipse; the Full Moon in Virgo becomes exact very early on Friday; the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries, Sunday late morning — in the Northern hemisphere, this also marks the Spring Equinox.

If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 14th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning. 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 spending time with little ones. If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
Monday very early morning, we are invited to make clear choices when it comes to engaging with a cause or with like-minded people. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression, and your desire for intellectually stimulating, inspirational actions. (Moon in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius, exact at 3:17am EDT)
Monday early morning, feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, we experience a strong desire to communicate and connect on an intuitive or spiritual level; on the other, we feel the need for play and fun.
We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel divinely connected to, that subtle inner voice that whispers to us… the question here becomes: are we after laughter and joy? Or gentle inner exploration and divine union? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment. (Moon in Leo quincunxes Mercury in Pisces, exact at 5:05am EDT)
Monday morning, we are invited to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others. Do your best to honor your own creative self-expression when connecting with like-minded people. (Moon in Leo opposes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 6am EDT)
Monday early afternoon, things flow nicely and we feel excited about new healing modalities. There’s an opportunity here to be compassionate toward ourselves and others and for connecting to our inner child. As best as you can, have fun when connecting with others, bring a healing quality to the table by tapping into your inner joy, explore things on a holistic level, and take a risk. (Moon in Leo trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:31pm EDT)
Monday afternoon, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with our inner child-energy (creative self-expressions and joy), on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (Moon in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 3:02pm EDT)

The next Full Moon will be “exact” on March 18th, at 3:18am EDT/7:18am GMT, in almost 28 degrees of Virgo — and by then, we are halfway through the Lunar cycle that started on March 2nd.
Take a look at the New Moon Intentions you set around March 2nd, and ask yourself: How far have I come with those Intentions? If I’m not where I’d like to be with them, what new course might bring me closer to my goals?
A Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; during these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites. Very often, we experience this through our interactions with others, and since these interactions are also the pathway to resolution, relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.
The balance we seek between Virgo and Pisces seems to be the fundamental challenge of our time: to integrate head and heart, science and intuition, discernment and compassion. This Full Moon shows each of us how far we have come with integrating those two seemingly opposite archetypes within ourselves — and how far we have yet to go.
This particular Full Moon has a planetary line-up known as a Stellium; it’s in Pisces, includes Mercury (the ruler of Virgo), and it connects favorably to the current Moon Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio. Pluto in Capricorn also plays an important role in this Full Moon chart. We will also look at the Venus-Mars alignment in Aquarius, and how it connects to other planets in this Full Moon chart. More about all of this in a moment… But first let’s take a look at the polarity of this Full Moon in general:
The Moon in Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces. Virgo seeks personal and practical wholeness, while Pisces reminds us of a transcendent wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.
Virgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else — when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves.
Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels: We are invited to discern what’s real, so we can make healthier choices. To find the balance between Virgo and Pisces, ask yourself…

This week’s headline items: it’s time to start to take action on your New Moon intentions from Monday early morning on; Mercury squares Nov. 19th’s Lunar Eclipse degree very early on Tuesday; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Wednesday evening; the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact early on Thursday morning.
Please note: Daylight Saving Time begins in the US on Sunday very early morning.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 4 hours); Thursday late morning (for almost 15 hours); and Sunday late morning (for almost 4 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 7th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early afternoon. 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 afternoon? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses
Monday after 6:49am EST, it is time to start to take action on your New Moon intentions.If you set Intentions on March 2nd or 3rd – after the New Moon became exact — today (Monday) will be the best time to take 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 afternoon, on the one hand, we need to experience peace and physical pleasure; on the other, we need to take some time to focus on our future visions and see what’s realistic for us. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds. (Moon in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 4:56pm EST)
Monday late evening, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. Inner and outer beauty is key! (Moon in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces, exact at 11:03pm EST)

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 28th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. 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 morning presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress (Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 7:07am EST)
Also on Monday morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 8:50am EST)
Monday afternoon, if you are already awake, connect with others, and share your vision for the future. Could you permit yourself to get in touch with your unique spark — and communicate your inner genius? (Moon in Aquarius conjuncts Mercury in Aquarius, exact at 5:11pm EST)
Monday at 9:01pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 14 hours, until 3:53pm EST (Tuesday afternoon). Use this intuitive time to focus on a long-term vision for your communities that involves a mature and realistic approach. As best as you can, take your time, and do your best to come from a place of integrity.
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 afternoon ahead of time.

Because New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle, they are an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon chart has four planets in Pisces — a line up (aka Stellium) that includes the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune; the New Moon and Jupiter also sextile Uranus in Taurus. The Sun squares December’s Solar Eclipse degree several hours after the New Moon becomes exact, which signifies a turning point.
There is also a second line up in this New Moon chart that takes place in Capricorn, and includes Venus, Mars, and Pluto. And since those three planets answer to Saturn right now (Saturn being the ruler of Capricorn), we must also mention the current Saturn-Mercury conjunction in Aquarius.
All of this will bring some forward movement.The next four weeks are thus essential in our lives on both the personal and collective levels. In fact, new beginnings are possible on multiple levels, as long as we get enough rest and make time for tuning in. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first let’s start with the Stellium in Pisces:
Pisces invites us to connect with our inner divinity, and with our ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and that we can tap into it.
To move into a higher, lighter Pisces vibration, ask yourself the following questions:…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 10-14 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. 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, the best time to set intentions would be between 12:35pm on March 2nd and 4:45pm on March 3rd, and then again from 7:52pm on March 3rd until 12:35pm on March 4th (New York-time)
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on twitter as I post reminders on March 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉

This week’s headline items: Jupiter squares the Dec. 4th, 2021 Solar Eclipse degree on Tuesday afternoon; the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact early on Wednesday evening; Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase on Wednesday night/very early Thursday morning; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Sunday very early morning.
There will only be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 4 hours); Wednesday early morning (for 4 hours); Thursday late evening (for 13 hours) and Sunday late morning (for almost 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, please know:
If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week, and still would like to learn how to align yourself with thecurrent shifts, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation “Turning Points – Squares to the Eclipses” — and see how this relates to your own Birth Chart.
How can you best use the Squares that will occur between now and March 8th?
Eclipses bring big evolutionary shifts, and when a transiting planet squares an Eclipse degree, we are at a turning point — collectively and individually speaking. What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?
How will these shifts impact people with planets or points/angles in 25-29º of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo, or 10-14º of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces?
“Love all that you share with us each day, week, month and year!!!! You are such an inspiration and true Star to be connected with! Thank You so much!!! With Love & Gratitude”– Brenna M.
Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Feb. 19th evening.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 4:19am EST. 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 Moon placement starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Wednesday early evening).
Monday, shortly after midnight, at 12:02am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 4.5 hours, until 4:19am EST. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it 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 you 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 Monday early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 4:19am EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday 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. 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 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 best as you are able, 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 night/Tuesday very early morning, we are invited to examine our relationship to money, power, and resources (personal and shared). Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others, against my wish to honor my personal values and desire for freedom? (Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 12:10am EST Tuesday)

Allowing the Masculine & Feminine to Work Together
This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Monday early evening; the Sun squares the Moon Nodes on Tuesday late afternoon, and the Sun squares the Nov. 19th, 2021 Lunar Eclipse degree, on Tuesday evening; the Full Moon in Leo becomes exact on Wednesday late morning; the Sun changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Friday late morning; and the first US Pluto Return of the year becomes exact on Sunday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for a brief 50 mins); Wednesday late morning (for almost 4 hours) and Friday evening (for 4.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, please know:
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 Feb. 18th at midnight EST,… 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, February 14th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:17am EST. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key.
Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday at 5:27am EST, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), for 50 mins, until 6:17am EST. Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your 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 morning ahead of time.
Monday at 6:17am EST, the Moon moves into fun and attention-lovingLeo, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Wednesday late morning). Feel free to read my Full Moon article here.
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 spending time with little ones. If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
Also, Monday early evening, at 4:54pm EST, Mercury changes signs from practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective Aquarius (for the second time this year), where it will journey until March 9th.
Mercury previously journeyed through this visionary sign between January 2nd and 25th, due to its recent Retrograde phase, so think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any insights? Were there any future projects (especially including a cause or group experience) that I wanted to go after?
For the next 3 weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly and offer a different perspective; we enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker, more alert, and our powers of observation are particularly strong.
We have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has a special appeal.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.

On Feb. 16th at 11:56am EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in 28 degrees of Leo — and this is when this month’s Full Moon becomes exact. We will start to feel this Full Moon build from the moment the Moon enters Leo on Monday morning (Feb. 14th). Relationships of all kinds are highlighted.
All Full Moons offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light; they also guide us away from polarization and division, toward balance and integration.
Ask yourself: How far have I come since setting Intentions back on Feb. 1st or 2nd, after the New Moon became exact? What am I aware of at this time?
The balance and integration we seek with this month’s Full Moon is connected to the Aquarius-Leo polarity.
This current Full Moon makes a Quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn, it also squares the Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 2021 and the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio — and, in this Full Moon chart, we also have some opportune planetary connections to Jupiter (the planet of possibility and expansion), which encourage us to release old assumptions and trust new possibilities. I will go into all those in detail in a moment…
The Full Moon Squares the Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 2021, making this Full Moon a powerful turning point on our journey towards greater stability — collectively and individually speaking.
What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?
If you are familiar with your natal chart, take a look at the Houses involved (connected to the Square between this month’s Full Moon and the Lunar Eclipse from last year November) to see how this might play out for you 😉
On Feb. 19th, we will investigate the upcoming Squares (in late February and early March), to the Eclipse points —in relationship to our own birth charts.
Now, let’s take a look at this Full Moon’s polarities: Aquarius, along with its co-rulers Saturn and Uranus, deals with the idea of being human, both on an individual level and as a member of the “human family”.
It represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian vision is one of interconnected equality — paradoxically, we are reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity.
Leo, on the other hand, is all about our individual self-expression, creativity, our ability to connect to a courageous, innocent heart, and inner joy.
This Full Moon is our chance to make a more conscious effort to embrace, integrate, and explore the lighter/higher vibrations of Leo. This is an optimistic, and extroverted sign, that represents our capacity to love — and our willpower. It signifies the quest to live from our center, our core, our truth — with joy in our hearts.
This Full Moon reminds us that everyone has the power to make a difference in the world, small or large — and when we join together, that power grows exponentially.
Ask yourself: How could I best honor both my individual self-expression and my interconnectedness with the world? How am I adding my voice (in small ways and large)?
As with all Full Moons, there’s a shadow side to be discussed — the Shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon: Aquarius & Leo — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace. Aquarius’s shadow side…

This week’s headline items: Venus ends her Station phase on Monday; the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday morning; on Wednesday evening, Pluto trines the degree of the Nov. 19th, 2021 Lunar Eclipse.
There will only be two Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very late evening (for a little over 5.5 hours); and Friday very early morning (for 15 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, please consider to:
Join us on Saturday, Feb. 19th for the next Forecasting Forum. We will investigate the upcoming Squares in late February and early March, to the Eclipse points —in relationship to our own birth charts.
Eclipses bring big evolutionary shifts, and when a transiting planet squares an Eclipse degree, we are at a turning point — collectively and individually speaking.
What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurusall day. It will journey there until Wednesday early morning. 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 the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday afternoon, take small steps on projects already underway — it’s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all. Or simply take a break and do some Sun Salutations or push-ups 😉 (Moon in Taurus trines Mars in Capricorn, exact at 2:12pm EST)
Also on Monday afternoon, we are asked to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for our visions, and share with them what is important to us. (Moon in Taurus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus, exact at 3:22pm EST)
Monday evening, we have the ability to comfortably accomplish things that are aligned with our values, coupled with a nice feeling of ease — rushing is not required or expected of us right now. We are also feeling quite grounded in our connections with others and can be quite “real” with them without causing offense. (Moon in Taurus trines Venus in Capricorn, exact at 7pm EST)
Also, on Monday, Venus resumes her normal pace through the sky, ending her Station phase. What came up in the last three weeks around self-worth? Finances? Social interactions? How about around what you want to attract long-term?
What came up in connection with relationship issues connected to long-term commitments and your long-term goals & aspirations? Or around your relationship to your “inner authority”?
What have you discovered about honoring your boundaries and commitments? What works for you? What doesn’t any longer? How closely are you in touch with an empowered relationship to yourself and your standing in society?

With her Readings, her coaching and her Soul-Based Astrology Courses she aims to empower and support people in fulfilling their life’s potential and aligning with Soul Purpose.
This week’s headline items: Venus will remain stationed all week, while Mercury re-starts its own station again on Monday and ends it on Sunday (it goes direct at that point, ending its 3-week Retrograde, and begins its post-Shadow phase late on Thursday evening). The New Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning; on Saturday, it is time to start acting on our New Moon intentions.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning until 4:43am EST; Tuesday morning (for 24 hours); Friday very early morning (for a little over 5 hours); and Sunday early afternoon (for 5.5 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 31st:
Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn and VoCuntil 4:43am EST. At that time, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinkingAquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional and 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.
Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius — and this planet is currently moving through Taurus, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our physical connection both to our own body and our finances — and to what is most important to us on this planet.
It’s also a great time to innovate and make changes in our lives around any physical matters that no longer serve us, or that keep us stuck in the past; we need to elevate our thinking if we want our bodies and the planet to vibrate at a higher frequency.
Ask yourself: Do I need to give my body something different to raise it to a higher vibration? When I tune in to myself, what insights does my body provide?
Where in my life have I become too rigid in connection with my body, my physical resources, or my talents? Where have I become too comfortable with those things? What is my connection to the Earth? To Nature? Do I need more physical space? More physical movement?
Also on Monday, Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”). It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3-week Retrograde phase, on Thursday late evening (more on that later this week…).
For the next 6 days (until Feb. 6th), we need to be patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation and their associated technologies. As best as you can, give yourself and others a lot of space!
This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.
We might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere — especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, click here)

This Lunar cycle invites us to go out there and connect (or re-connect) with “our people” – with a tribe that resonates, a cause that feels aligned with our principles and our integrity, a connection that serves a larger vision for the future, etc.
This New Moon is unique in that it takes place on the same day as Chinese New Year and marks the beginning of theYear of the Yang Water Tiger, emphasizing the importance of caution, growth, development, challenge, creation, and planning. Ask yourself: Where am I ready for a new plan? Where do I need to still implement some changes in order to move forward?
The Tiger in Chinese Astrology represents power, prestige, and autonomy. Yang-Water is connected to flowing water, like a river, or the clouds in the sky. So you could say: when we allow the flow to guide us (in other words, when we trust our intuition), we grow stronger and can achieve more.
According to Chinese Astrology, 2022 is a great year to start a business or career goal: We are full of energy to take on a challenge and set off on an adventure.
Coming back to Western, Tropical Astrology, we have two exalted planets in this New Moon chart: Mercury (the planet of communication & how we process information) and Venus (the planet of self-worth & how we relate to others). Both of them are currently in Capricorn, and are thus asking us to be extra-mindful about connecting to a healthy sense of responsibility and self-reliance.
Mercury comes to a halt — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase — only 2.5 days after the New Moon becomes exact (on Feb. 3rd in the late evening), while Venus ends her 6-week Retrograde phase only 3 days before the New Moon becomes exact on Jan. 29th, at 3:36am EST.
When a planet changes directions, its energy will be “louder” for some days before and after that shift. Venus has been “louder” since Jan. 23rd and will continue to ask for our attention until Feb. 4th. Mercury will be exalted until Feb. 6th.
When planets end Retrograde phases, they are ready to move forward and bring to the world whatever material they have learned and integrated during the Retrograde. Ask yourself…

James Clear, says it beautifully in this article: “For most of our evolutionary history, our ancestors lived in tribes. Becoming separated from the tribe—or worse, being cast out—was a death sentence… When we have to choose between the two, people often select friends and family over facts… The way to change people’s minds is to become friends with them, to integrate them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle… As proximity increases, so does understanding… If someone you know, like, and trust believes a radical idea, you are more likely to give it merit, weight, or consideration… the best place to ponder a threatening idea is in a non-threatening environment. As a result, books are often a better vehicle for transforming beliefs than conversations or debates… The word “kind” originated from the word “kin.” When you are kind to someone it means you are treating them like family… Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.”
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 10-15 degrees of Aquarius,Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? 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).
Finally, let’s talk “New Moon Intentions” 🙂 The New Moon is 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.
That means that this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 12:46am and 6:01am on Feb. 1st, and then again, from 6am on Feb. 2nd until 12:46am on Feb. 3rd -(New York Time/US Eastern Time)
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter. I will post reminders to let you know when it is time to set your New Moon intentions 😉

My next MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM — which is a 90-minute webinar — will be on Saturday, Feb. 19th at 8:30am PST/11:30amEST/4:30pm GMT (London-time).
PLEASE NOTE that we’ll be talking about the upcoming Squares in late February and early March, to the Eclipse points — inrelationship to our own birth charts.
Eclipses bring big evolutionary shifts, and when a transiting planet squares an Eclipse degree, we are at a turning point — collectively and individually speaking. What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?
If you want to know how these shifts are going to impact you personally, SIGN UP to join the webinar LIVE, or register to receive an mp4/video presentation within 24 hours of the live event.
Other than booking a reading with me, this is the maximum level of support I offer — and it’s *only $37* for the 90+ minute webinar.

This week’s headline items: Mars changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Monday morning; the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Tuesday morning; Mercury (still moving backward due to its retrograde) re-enters Capricorn on Tuesday late evening; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Friday evening; on Saturday early morning, Venus comes to halt and goes direct, ending her 6-week Retrograde phase and beginning her post-Shadow period; Uranus ends its Station phase (in Taurus) on Sunday, and will no longer be retrograde.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early evening (for almost 6 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for a little over 2 hours); Friday afternoon (for a little over 14 hours); and Sunday late evening (for 5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:
If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week, and still would like to learn how to align yourself with thecurrent Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation “Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio 2022/23” — and see how this relates to your own Birth Chart.
How can you best use the Moon Node transit between now and July 2023?
What will you discover about your physical resources (ie. finances), your physical enjoyment of things, your talents, and your relationships to abundance — over the next 18 months?
What old traumas are you looking to release or become aware of, over the next 18 months? What feels disempowering and no longer relevant? What needs to be transformed, so you can thrive and feel abundant?
How will this planetary shift impact people with planets or points/angles in Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius?
“That webinar gave me a lot of perspective on forward thinking; your analysis of how the nodal transits will affect me, and are affecting me was totally in line with my deep inner guidance. It was easy to lucidly follow the materials you provided. Mucho danke encore! :-D. Love and blessings.” — Michaele deC.
Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Jan. 22nd late evening.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 24th:
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 10:57pm EST. 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. Today is 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.
Mondayat 7:53am EST,Mars changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seekingSagittarius to ambitious, goal-orientedCapricorn where it will journey until March 6th.
For those 6 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented, and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.
Our drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of “drives” — things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality — in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.
Because we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.
If you have an Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determined. You may want to get down to business. If you are a Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 6 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.
Monday early evening,at 5:10pmEST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for almost 6 hours, until 10:57pm EST. 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 you 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 Monday evening ahead of time.
Monday, at 10:57pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday 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. 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 therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂

On Jan. 18th, 2022, the Moon Nodes switched from Gemini/Sagittarius to Taurus/Scorpio; they will remain in those signs until July 17th, 2023! The last time the Moon Nodes were in these particular signs was back in April 2003 – December 2004.
The transiting Moon Nodes show us what our Soul’s Journey currently requires on the collective and personal levels — let’s take a closer look at what this means:
The goal of the collective Soul’s journey is to balance and integrate two apparently opposite energies: the honoring of the physical, material realm (symbolized by Taurus), and our ability to transform what was traumatic or disempowering with an open heart and use it as inner fuel, making it a strength, while learning about the cycles of life — endings and beginnings of all kinds (linked to Scorpio).
We will thus need to look closely at the balance between honoring our physical, material needs, versus our quest for emotional authenticity and empowering connections – and become more conscious about our Shadow issues and traumas from the past. The Scorpio urge to “go deeper” is essential for our ability to understand the darker parts of our psyche; in terms of balancing these energies, that same urge plays a crucial role in how we connect with others and share our gift and talents (Taurus).
For the next 18 months,ask yourself: How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate from survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life?
To get a more personal interpretation, we also need to take a look at the House placement of that Taurus/Scorpio polarity in our own birth charts, as well as the ruling planets of those signs involved… We cover the houses in a webinar (I will include a link at the end of this article).
In Taurus, the North Node invites us to make an effort to…

This week’s headline items: Uranus’ Station has us feeling its energies at a greater intensity all week. On Monday, the Full Moon in Cancer becomes exact, and Mercury’s Station phase ends. On Tuesday, Uranus goes direct — ending its Retrograde — and the Moon Nodes switch from Gemini/Sagittarius to Taurus/Scorpio. On Wednesday, the Sun changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius and Venus starts to slow down (station), slowly coming to the end of her Retrograde phase. Last but not least, on Sunday, Venus’ station intensifies as the planet slows down even further.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 4 hours); Thursday very early morning (for almost 6 hours); and Saturday afternoon (for almost 2.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention two things:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 17th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 11:03pm EST. 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.
Monday evening, at 6:48pm EST,the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 28 degrees of Cancer. The entrance of the Moon into Cancer late in the morning of Jan. 15th began the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon. Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business-relationships. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to click here and watch my Full Moon video for more details.
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart — Mercury and Venus are both Retrograde, while Uranus is exalted, and will come to a halt only 15.5 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact. Neptune supports the integration of the Full Moon polarity, while Pluto intensifies it; Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) aligns with Mercury in Aquarius, and both square an exalted Uranus in Taurus… and all play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics in regards to all of these planets in a moment.
But first, let’s talk about this month’s Full Moon: This Lunation shows us how well we are doing with self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also where we are in connection to greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.
Ask yourself: What’s my relationship to self-care and where do I feel most “at home”? What’s my understanding of my emotional needs? How might an emotional connection to myself and loved ones be of benefit to me? How might it shift my priorities?
Cancer is the first of the water signs and is therefore emotional and mercurial (like a river or a stream). Feelings are real, but may not always seem rational… until we can identify the underlying, unmet need connected to a particular feeling.
We all have needs — a need for love or approval, for control (or for not feeling out of control — this can also show up as our need for autonomy and independence), for safety and security, for human connection (or a heart connection) to a living being.
Our feelings reflect whether our needs are being met. Feeling happy, peaceful, and open indicates that our needs are being met. When we feel “negative emotions” (e.g. stressed, depressed, angry/frustrated, etc.) it’s clear that at least one important need is not being met.
If you are feeling any of the latter emotions, ask yourself: Which of my needs is not being met at this time? Am I lacking (and therefore “wanting”) approval, love, control, safety, or security? Am I wanting to feel connected, closer, or do I want to be separate? And whichever one it is, could I let go of “wanting” that, just for this “now-moment”?
In other words, could I let go of the idea that I am lacking something? Would I? In other words, am I willing to let go, just as best as I can, just for right now? When? (This last question is an invitation to let go right here, right now).
By the way, if you enjoyed those questions, or are intrigued, they come from The Sedona Method – a set of processes I use extensively in my coaching work, that is very subtle and powerful. For more info about my Coaching-Healing sessions, click here.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 26-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra or 0 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Taurus? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Also on Monday evening, at 6:48pm EST as the Full Moon becomes exact, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for a little over 4 hours, until 11:03pm EST. You may be feeling a need for the familiar and comfortable, for emotional connection and the nurturing of a safe home life — while also experiencing a desire to accomplish career goals, worldly accomplishments and success, and even worldly status. Use this intuitive time to balance those needs.
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 all of Monday evening ahead of time.
Monday late evening, at 11:03pm EST, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Thursday morning. 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 spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
Also, on Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its Station — but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).
We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks — especially those connected to like-minded people, groups, and networks (locally or online). How can you stay curious and open-minded about thoughts that come through from your inner genius? How might you honor your own unique thoughts?
You can also ask yourself: What needs to be addressed with regards to any group experiences, humanitarian causes, or technology? What do I need to learn about my affiliations with like-minded people over the next 8 days? If I knew I actually could make a difference, where would I begin?

Am I wanting to feel connected, closer, or do I want to be separate? And whichever one it is, could I let go of “wanting” that, just for this now moment?
In other words, could I let go of the idea that I am lacking something? Would I? In other words, am I willing to let go, just as best as I can, just for right now? When? (This last question is an invitation to let go right here, right now).
By the way, if you enjoyed those questions, or are intrigued, they come from The Sedona Method – a set of processes I use extensively in my coaching work, that are very subtle and powerful. For more info about my Coaching-Healing sessions, click here.
Now, let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following:26-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or 0 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus or Scorpio? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

"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!"
