Soften Your Approach — Forecast for March 11th – 17th
This week’s headline items: On Monday, it’s time to take actions on our New Moon Intentions. The first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact Thursday morning. There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for a little over 6 hours), Thursday morning (for a little over 9 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for 7 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: On Sunday (March 10th) at 2am, Daylight Savings Time began in the United States; so, from this week on, I will be posting all astrological alignments and movements in EDT. Please adjust accordingly for your location 😉
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 11th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey here until Tuesday late 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 until tomorrow? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday late morning, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. Inner and outer beauty is key!
Monday afternoon, Slow down a little and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. Rushing will backfire right now.
If you set your New Moon Intentions this past Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, soon after the New Moon in Pisces became exact; Monday around 7:13pm EDT will be a great 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 evening, we get a chance to empower each other around our long-term goals, by keeping things down to earth and enjoyable.
Also, Monday late evening, we are invited to make some internal adjustments…

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for 6 minutes), Thursday afternoon (for a little over an hour), and Saturday early afternoon (for 15 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 4th:
Monday,the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday 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/early afternoon, is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. Ask yourself: Am I open to explore something different? Am I open to seeing something that I haven’t looked at before? Am I open to new adventures?
Also, Mercury is preparing to come to halt, tomorrow, Tuesday (starting its 3-week retrograde phase), slowing things down tremendously from Sunday night until Wednesday night. Pay attention to anything “in your face” during this time, in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to re-organize yourself once Mercury goes retrograde.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac; it connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When 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.
Ask yourself: Am I (in other words, do I exist)? Could I let that be enough, just for right now? Keep repeating these questions until you feel completely relaxed and at peace.
Now, close your eyes, and ask yourself: Am I my body or am I more than that? Am I the sounds that I can hear inside and outside my head, or am I more than that? Am I the sensations that I can feel and receive, or am I more than that? And, if I am more than those things, where do I begin? Where do I end?
Pisces is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.

Here is a quote that fits really well with this New Moon: “We are the midwives in a world experiencing the labor pains necessary to the birthing of a whole new world consciousness.” — The Arcturian Group
If you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 14-18 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius, 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 (since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
This month, the best time to set intentions would therefore be between 11:04am March 6th and 2:08pm March 7th. Then again, from 3:27pm on March 7th until 11:04am on March 8th (EST – New York-time).
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my Facebook Fanpage or follow me on Twitter. I will be posting reminders on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday in the morning and later in the afternoon/evening, and on Friday morning, to let you know that it is time to set your intentions 😉

A Single, Simple Step — Forecast Feb. 25th – March 3rd
This week’s headline items: The last Quarter Moon becomes exact in Sagittarius on Tuesday morning, Mercury starts to slow down (station) on Thursday, Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Friday; there will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (for 9 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (31 minutes), and Saturday early afternoon (20 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Feb. 25th:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio. It will journey there until 4:19pm EST. 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 therefore 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 🙂
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, 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 very early morning, we feel good about making deeper connections; we’ll have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task, something that might serve us long-term.
Monday at 7:14am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for 9 hours, until 4:19pm EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical 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 until the late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 4:19pm EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early 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, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take 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-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Tuesday morning).
Monday late afternoon/early evening, we might find ourselves wanting to connect with like-minded people, so we can share our…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday (Feb. 18th):
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.
We all love to be admired and — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness… 🙂 So if you can, hand out some compliments, let people in your life know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart with this and all other things: be honest, authentic.
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 day. 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 early morning, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:55am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (Feb. 15th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening (Feb. 19th). We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones 😉
What is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 27-29 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius or 0-1 degree of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn ? 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 Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)
On Monday at 4:10am EST, Chiron re-enters fast-paced, enthusiastic Aries, where it will journey until June 2026 (when it will enter Taurus for a brief time) And then retrograde back into Aries in Sept. 2026 until April 2027. Check to see if you are maybe revisiting themes that came up around late April of last year, when Chiron entered Aries for the first time.
What is the significance of Chiron? It’s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the “Wounded Healer”, it reminds us of our humanity — and guides us to see it as a gift.
When we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as “wrong” or “bad”, our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to read the whole article about Chiron in Aries here
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in Aries, Libra, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you will be more affected by this transit over the next 8 years. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries, since Chiron will move through this sign for the next 8 years.
Monday morning, a Venus/Saturn alignment in almost 17 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 5:52am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Friday (Feb. 15th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening (Feb. 20th). This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationships 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 partnerships. 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 personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet — and they will likely surface. Renewed ties to old friends, business partners or lovers are possible, as is a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships. This is not the best time to start a brand-new relationship.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 14-20 degrees of of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, or Libra? 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)
And, Monday early evening, at 6:04pm EST, the Sun changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking and objective Aquarius to dreamy, creative, compassionate, Pisces, until March 20th. This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us.
We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.
Music or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully — if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.
The keyword here is “allowing”: as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space — allow it to be as it is. In addition, notice when you are experiencing someone else’s feelings rather than your own. Ask yourself: Is this mine or someone else’s?
All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Pisces Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Pisces, you will feel …

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.
The next Full Moon will be “exact” on Feb. 19th at 10:54am EST, in almost 1 degrees of Virgo.
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 (and achieve it) through our interactions with others, so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. Feel free to also watch my video for more
The Moon in Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces. If you are already familiar with this polarity, feel free to skip ahead to the aspects involved in this Full Moon chart…
Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater 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:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Feb. 11th:
Monday, the Moon remains steady, peaceful Taurus all 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: 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.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach… if you happen to be awake at that time, of course…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Feb. 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquariusall day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.
With the New Moon in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life — and we are ready to make huge improvements.
Aquarius also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness.
At its best, Aquarius stands for equality and diversity, innovation and reform, collaboration and community; we strive for progress. The challenge here is to unite and transcend differences of gender, race, and cultural or religious backgrounds.
To move even further into that higher Aquarian vibration, ask yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might “group consciousness” help humanity make progress? Where might I begin?
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 13-18 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.
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 any time between 4:05pm on Feb. 4th until 6:59pm on Feb. 5th; and then again from 9:02pm on Feb. 5th until 4:05pm on Feb. 6th — New York Time/US Eastern Time
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and/or following me on Twitter. I will post reminders, several times, to let you know when it is time to set your New Moon intentions 😉 For more info about Setting Intentions, click here

Aquarius also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are included in the collective focus on changing group consciousness.
At its best, Aquarius stands for equality and diversity, innovation and reform, collaboration and community; we strive for progress. The challenge issued is to unite and transcend differences of gender, race, and cultural or religious backgrounds.
To move even further into that higher Aquarian vibration, ask yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might “group consciousness” help humanity make progress? Where might I begin?

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 13-18 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.
Now let’s talk “Intentions” 🙂 The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best set 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 any time between 4:05pm on Feb. 4th until 6:59pm on Feb. 5th; and then again from 9:02pm on Feb. 5th until 4:05pm on Feb. 6th — New York Time/US Eastern Time
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter. I typically post multiple reminders letting you know when it is time to set your New Moon intentions 😉

IReady to Experiment — Forecast for Jan. 28th – Feb. 3rd
This week’s headline items: Eclipse season finally ends on Wednesday, Venus changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Sunday evening, and there will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early evening (for almost 16 hours), Thursday late afternoon (for a little over two hours), and Sunday early morning (for a little over two hours).
Monday: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day, where it will journey until Tuesday late morning. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. 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 early morning, we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving, trusting the process and going with the flow are key!
Monday 5:39pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 16 hours, until 9:33am EST (Tuesday late morning). 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.
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…

This week’s headline items: a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact on Monday every early morning; Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning; there will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday evening (for two hours), Thursday late morning (for a little over 14 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for a little over two hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Jan. 21st:
Monday:the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.
We all love to be admired and — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness… 🙂 So if you can, hand out some compliments, let people in your life know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart with this and all other things: be honest, authentic.
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, at 12:16am EST, this month’s powerful Full Moon (in almost 1 degrees of Leo) becomes exact. This is also a Lunar Eclipse and a SuperMoon. Sunday evening (Jan. 20th), saw the entrance of the Moon into Leo, starting the energetic build up toward the Full Moon; relationships of all kinds are highlighted.
To read more about this powerful Eclipse/SuperMoon and get all the Full Moon/Eclipse Questions, click here
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio or 26-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? 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).
Monday morning, a challenging Mars/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:48am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Tuesday (Jan. 15th) on; it will be strong until this Saturday (Jan. 26th). This is a “stretch” aspect — it’s characterized by inner conflict — as well as a maturity process that requires adjustments and flexibility on our part.
On the one hand, we want to pursue personal goals and move fast — we probably feel impatient about any projects connected to something we feel passionate about — and we want our physical bodies to be active (e.g. working out).
On the other hand, we also feel the need to focus on our long-term goals — taking it one step at a time, building something solid that can last. in other words, we are also being asked to take a realistic and mature approach to our long-term aspirations.
As best as you can, make space for both of these desires.
We also tend to be more cautious now. We may experience a temporary loss of enthusiasm — or setbacks that make us doubt our ability to win in life. We are learning to live life in moderation; this might be frustrating at first.
Pushing too hard (or too fast) doesn’t always get us the results we want: It might be time to slow down a little and catch our breath. That way, we can come back later, with a stronger, more mature and focused approach.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in…

This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact early Monday; the Uranus station ends on Saturday; the Sun changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius early Sunday; the Lunar Eclipse in Leo becomes exact on Sunday night.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), Wednesday early afternoon (for almost 6.5 hours), Friday evening (for a little over 2 hours) and Sunday late evening (for 2 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast
Monday Jan. 14th:
Monday:the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Ariesuntil 1:31pm EST. 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, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 8:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday evening (Jan. 12th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.
Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else’s words allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 12-17 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday at 10:56am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 2.5 hours, until 1:31pm EST. Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, 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/early afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 1:31pm EST; the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. 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…

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining our most recent Forum:
“Thank you for such an informative webinar Sonja. Happy Holidays!” — Winter W.
“Thank you so much Sonja & astrology tribe! I’m so excited to hear that 2019 holds HUGE potentiality for me to lead others towards self-care & be more of a source of inspiration to those who are open to receiving that gift! YAY!” — Deb E.

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.
Monday very early morning, on Jan. 21st, at 12:16am EST,the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 1 degrees of Leo — this is a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse becoming exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Leo Sunday (Jan. 20th), at 10:54pm EST.
This Full Moon is the second of two Eclipses in January and it’s extra-powerful. There are two main reasons for this: firstly, because it’s a SuperMoon — these occur when the Moon is either Full or New while at its closest distance to the Earth — they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactivity, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.
Secondly, as the last Eclipse in the Leo/Aquarius polarity, it completes an Eclipse cycle that started in Feb. 2017 — this put an emphasis on freedom and individuality, while redefining our approach to improving our future — and paradoxically, also on our need to belong. We are also invited to become more aware of our mind’s activities, of group affiliations out there in the world, and of moving towards a courageous, open, and self-expressed heart — one that knows how to joyfully and playfully connect to the “here and now”.
Think back over the last two years, and ask yourself: What has shifted for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or “humanity”)? How about like-minded people or political/group affiliations? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? For authentic self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo (August 11th, 2018), what brought the possibility for more joy into my life since then? Have I been able to get more in touch with my inner child?

A final note about Eclipses: they’re consciousness upgrades. For 7 – 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory — anything is possible and it’s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything brand-new started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.
For that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Jan. 30th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”… Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, or26-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this powerful Full 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).

Reclaim Your Authority — Forecast for Jan. 7th – 13th
This week’s headline items: Venus changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Monday morning, Uranus is still exalted all week (since it is still stationing); and the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday night.
Also, we can start setting our Solar Eclipse Intentions on Monday evening; if we don’t get a chance to do it by Tuesday evening, we’ll have another chance on Wednesday afternoon.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 26 minutes), Wednesday early afternoon (for almost 3 hours) and Friday late morning (for almost 18 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have two quick announcement:
We are still in the middle of Eclipse season: A Solar Eclipse in Capricorn was exact on Jan. 5th, and a Lunar Eclipse in Leo will be exact on Jan. 21st. Align yourself with your Soul’s Journey! What needs your focus for the next 6 months? What is coming to fruition?
Saturn’s placement in its own sign plays an important role in the Eclipse we just had on Saturday, Jan.5th (we will feel the effects for the rest of the year) — and if you’d like to know more about how Saturn’s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally until March 2020, feel free to get my webinar on the subject, available for purchase here.

Now, this week’s Forecast — Monday Jan. 7th:
Monday (Jan. 7th):the Moon remains practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 1:46am EST. At 1:20am EST, we enter a very brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for 26 minutes, until 1:46am EST. This intuitive time could be a good time to connect with others on a deeper level.
If you are awake, take the opportunity to collaborate with others, and bring a new level of focus and authenticity to 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.
Monday at 1:46am EST, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday at 6:18am EST, Venus changes signs from intense, all-or-nothing Scorpio to adventurous, freedom-loving Sagittarius. It will journey there until Feb. 3rd; until then, we feel more social, and inclined especially to connect to people from different backgrounds and countries. We like to explore new things, whether food or social gatherings: if it’s exotic, it’s great!
We are more likely to take some risks now with others, and to say what’s on our mind. Our relationships need to be connected to adventure — a trip might be just the thing. Getting away from our routines and exploring life… hey, why not? 🙂
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more adventurous and spontaneous for the next 3.5 weeks; your heart will want to explore new things and get a new perspective on life. If you are a Sagittarius Sun-sign or Rising-sign, for as long as Venus is in your sign, you will attract more love, abundance and beauty into your life.
Last but not least, Monday after 8:28pm EST, you have all evening and tomorrow (Tuesday) all day to set your Solar Eclipse Intentions. Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Capricorn energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — click here to watch 😉
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter. I will be posting reminders over the next three days, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉 For more info on how to best set your Solar Eclipse Intentions, click here to read my article on the subject.
This Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to be aware and conscious, and show up as a responsible citizen of the world. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: …

Fast Forward Motion — Forecast for Dec. 31st, 2018 – Jan. 6th, 2019
This week’s headline items: the Uranus station intensifies on Monday (and Mars changes signs from Pisces to Aries that evening), Mercury changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Friday, the Solar Eclipse in Capricorn becomes exact on Saturday, and Uranus comes to a halt on Sunday afternoon.
There will only be two Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for 10.5 hours) and Friday early afternoon (for a little over an hour).
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Dec. 31st):the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It journeys there until Wednesday 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.
In Scorpio, the Moon 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 late evening, at 9:20pm EST,Mars changes signs from sensitive, creative Pisces, to pioneering, enthusiastic Aries. Mars will journey through this fiery sign until Feb. 14th, 2019. Mars has an almost two year cycle; it last traveled through Aries in late January until early March 2017. Was there a significant new beginning for you back then?
For those next six and a half weeks, we will have a strong drive for fast forward motion; our first instinct is for action. Spontaneity is an asset, as are simplicity and innovation. We like the fresh start; there will very likely be new ideas, pioneering action and “fresh” projects abounding.
We enjoy challenges with this placement, so we are happy to take on something bigger than usual — maybe a new, more demanding job or relationship. Our physical energy is great, but we may lose our initial enthusiasm quickly.
We are not likely to beat around the bush now; a direct approach is definitely favored. Things to watch out for: impatience; getting irritated by other people’s indirectness; being insensitive to other people’s needs or approaches.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries? If so, you will feel quite energized by this placement. Your physical energy will be tremendous, you are going to feel unstoppable. The only thing to watch out for: physical burnout.
Also on Monday, the Uranus station intensifies in 28.5 degrees of Aries, until Jan. 11th, 2019. It will come to a complete halt on Sunday (Jan. 6th) in 28.5 degrees of Aries, ending its 5-month retrograde phase (more about that on Sunday…). When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced, and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy picks up speed again around Jan. 14th (when the station phase has ended).
Definitely expect the unexpected. Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures and moving towards a new future — one that serves others as well as ourselves. Its keyword is “Freedom”: this aspect provides an opportunity to discover how free we actually feel. So… how free do you feel? 😉
As best as you can for the next two weeks, pull whatever is “in your face” even closer and take a good long look at it: our intuition will be very strong and deliver sudden insights and ideas, especially around what needs to change in our lives. What if you expressed your individuality to the fullest? What does the “larger vision” look like? Where is the obstacle?
Uranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet — so don’t be surprised by interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are likewise ruled by Uranus, so these will move more to the forefront of awareness.
As best as you can during this aspect, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to messages from the Universe 😉

This week’s headline items: Uranus begins its station phase on Monday, Eclipse season officially starts on Wednesday, and the last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact early Saturday morning.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Friday late morning (for 4 hours), and Sunday early evening (for 2.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week… and still would like to learn what to expect for 2019, feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about this coming year — in relationship to your own Birth Chart… To purchase this webinar, click here. Before you invest in the whole 120 min. webinar, feel free to watch a 15-min excerpt here. There are also some testimonials at the very bottom of this blog from participants of the webinar; feel free to check those out 😉
Star and SuperStar Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Dec. 20th late evening 😉
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Dec. 24th):the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 11:59am 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 for the next two and half days 😉
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 9:50am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 2 hours, until 11:59am EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for connection to the familiar; on the other, a desire to break free and rebel. Make space to both pursue your vision and improvements in general, and for taking care of emotional or family issues.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning ahead of time
Monday at 11:59am EST, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday early afternoon. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.
We all love to be admired and — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness… 🙂 So if you can, hand out some compliments, let people in your life know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart with this and all other things: be honest, authentic.
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 evening, a challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 7:32pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Dec. 22nd on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Dec. 26th). This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow.
We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now. Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.
We are more imaginative now, and easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence, but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical. What might a creative approach to life be?
It can be hard to follow routines. Concentrating on monotonous tasks and work (or study that involves attention to detail or rote learning) may also be challenging at this time. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are 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).
Also on Monday, Uranus begins to slow down (station) — it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 6th, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this station until Jan. 14th; until then, anything connected to Uranus’s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.
Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.
Uranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don’t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to those messages from the Universe 😉
As best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is “in your face” for the next 3 weeks. Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.
Are we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?
Some of us will be more affected than others, depending on how it interacts with our personal chart. Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in…
