This week’s headline items: Venus comes out of her shadow phase on Monday, the Chiron Station finally ends on Tuesday, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Friday (marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere), and the Full Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Saturday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 2 hours), Wednesday evening (for almost 14 hours), and Saturday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have two quick announcement: 1) If you haven’t had a chance yet to listen to my recent Radio Interview, from earlier this month, click here.

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Dec. 17th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day, where it will journey until Tuesday early morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.
Monday very early morning, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:57am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (Dec. 14th) on; it will be strong until this Thursday evening (Dec. 20th). This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul’s passions.
We can dream up creative solutions to problems, and imaginative, unusual approaches to getting the job done. We favor subtle or peaceful solutions over conflict and confrontation. We feel more confident about our own talents
It’s especially satisfying to do work that helps others — perhaps in support of a cause that transcends our own narrow, personal interests.
Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An “opportunity” is just an opening, it’s not automatically granted — we have to “step up” to the opening, then through it…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus? 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 Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)
Monday late morning, we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects…
Also on Monday, around 10pm EST,Venus’s Shadow phase ends in 10 degrees and 50 min. of Scorpio. During Venus’s shadow phases, it’s best to hold off on anything new in connection with relationships, things we hold dear, or place value on (including finances) — this is especially true when it comes to engaging in new relationships or partnerships. The good news is that with the Venus shadow phase ending today, we can finally go ahead and start up new enterprises, and make new financial investments.

What’s calling to you? — Forecast for Dec. 10th – 16th
This week’s headline items: Chiron’s station continues all week and Mercury’s ends on Monday. Mercury re-enters Sagittarius on Wednesday evening. Also on Wednesday, it’s time to take actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, the first Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Saturday morning.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late afternoon (for a little over 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over 2 hours), and Saturday morning (for almost 13 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:

Monday (Dec. 10th):the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 6:39pm EST. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.
For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B”
Monday at 4:27pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 2 hours, until 6:39pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment — and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.
As best as you can, take some breaks, and “let your freak flag fly” — just for a moment — and revel in it! 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 afternoon/early evening ahead of time.
Monday at 6:39pm EST, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Thursday morning (Dec. 13th). The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Also on Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station in 28.5 degrees of Scorpio. Communication and transportation is now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase (Nov. 14th — Dec. 6th) can now be reviewed. What did you discover about your inner dialogue — especially when it comes to your “expansive” or “fearful” self — during that time?

This week’s headline items: the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday afternoon; the Neptune Station phase ends on Tuesday; Chiron’s Station phase intensifies on Wednesday; Mercury comes to a halt on Thursday afternoon, ending its 3-week Retrograde phase; the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Thursday night/Friday very early morning; and Chiron comes to a halt on Sunday early morning, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for a little over 1.5 hours), Wednesday late afternoon (for almost 5 hours), and Saturday early morning (for 2 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Dec. 3rd):the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 2:55pm 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 see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
Monday at 1:16pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 1.5 hours, until 2:55pm EST. Use this intuitive time to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection and collaboration with my desire for freedom and individual self-expression?
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 2:55pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. 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.
Also on Monday afternoon, the Balsamic Moon phase beings when the Moon reaches 0º of Scorpio. This phase lasts until late Friday very early morning when the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact (more on that on Friday… In the meantime, 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?

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Nov. 26th):the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early morning. 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 day 😉
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 own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don’t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday very early morning, a Sun/Jupiter alignment in almost 4 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact at 1:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Thursday (Nov. 22nd) on, it will remain strong until this week, Thursday (Nov. 29th). Ego gratification is the theme of this transit.
This is the start of a “new you” with more confidence and faith. We have a chance to create a world of adventure and personal growth. We feel optimistic — and that helps us attract positive circumstances. If you’ve been thinking about launching a new long-term project, this would be an excellent time to do so; this is especially true for projects connected to the Sagittarian energy.
This would include anything involving travel, higher education, teaching, sports, publishing, foreign cultures, or the search for a higher meaning of life and our existence on this planet.
Spiritual or mental journeys can also flourish at this time as can ventures into a greater truth. We may well feel more vital, confident, and optimistic when it comes to those journeys, however we may also be prone to exaggeration.
This is a good time to resolve conflicts, especially around foreign affairs or religious conflicts; we definitely prefer to see the good in the world at this time. Events may give our ego a boost, and we could be feeling quite perky and “alive”. Take advantage of this by promoting yourself or putting yourself “out there”.
If we don’t channel this energy into something that elevates our mind and soul, we may become a little restless. So ask yourself: What can I do with all the energy coming through? How might I use it to my advantage? Go beyond what I’ve known myself to be?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces, or Virgo? 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 Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius).
Monday very early morning, a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect becomes exact at 3:06am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday (Nov. 24th) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This aspect brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue — and given that Mercury is also Retrograde, you might want to take a look at whether something that came up in the last three weeks is now ready to be discussed.
As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others — a win-win — otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for crazy (or sleepy) drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster 😉

Greater Realities — Forecast for Nov. 19th – 25th, 2018
This week’s headline items: Mercury’s station phase ends on Tuesday, the Sun changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Thursday early morning, the Full Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Thursday night/Friday very early morning, Neptune comes to a halt on Saturday evening (ending its 5-month retrograde phase), and Venus’s station phase ends on Sunday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for an hour), Thursday early morning (for a little over 18 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for a little over an hour).
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Nov. 19th):the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. it will journey there until Tuesday evening. 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 late morning/early afternoon: we feel energized and feel great enthusiasm for personal achievements and explorations. We are able to connect with others through optimism and humor.
Monday late evening, a challenging Mars/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 8:30pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Nov. 10th on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday Nov. 26th.
This aspect is an opportunity to grow by stretching between two poles: On the one hand, an emotional impulse draws us to go within and tap into our intuitive, creative processes; on the other hand, we also feel drawn to adventures and want to expand our horizons — but want to identify some higher learning or meaning before we make a move.
Here’s the question: Might tapping into our intuition help us expand our horizons?
We seek excitement and growth; we may not be satisfied with how things are — we feel an inner restlessness which demands freedom and “space” but doesn’t necessarily return the favor. We may have a tendency to overdo or over-exert — and our expectations of ourselves and others might be too high.
Ask yourself: What might open up if I expected 5% less of myself, just for today? What if I applied that to others too? Might my physical energy levels help me be realistic about how much I can expect of myself right now?
With this position, we never feel that we have enough experiences, knowledge, connections, etc. — it’s difficult knowing when to stop. If you can, pause and reflect: this will help with that feeling that you can’t get enough, no matter what you do. If we’re going to get tripped up here, it would be because we don’t know when to stop (or say no).
That said: we needn’t expect to feel tormented — in fact, this is usually a playful and humorous time — lots of joking around (including practical jokes) smiles, laughter. The key to this aspect is connecting our desire for a more ideal or divine connection to self and others to our quest for expansive yet truthful mental and spiritual explorations.

This week’s headline items: start taking action on your New Moon intentions on Monday afternoon. On Wednesday, Neptune starts to station, and Mercury’s station intensifies. On Thursday, the first Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact, and Mars changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces. On Friday, Venus comes to a halt in Libra, ending her 6-week Retrograde phase, and Mercury also comes to a halt in Sagittarius, to start its 3-week Retrograde phase. Last but not least, Neptune’s station intensifies on Saturday evening.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 32 minutes), Thursday late evening (for 43 minutes), and Sunday very early morning (for almost 8 hours)
Monday (Nov. 12th): the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.
For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.
Monday early afternoon, our focus intensifies — we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care 😉
Monday mid-late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be more aware of meaningful connections that could support our long-term goals.
Also on Monday, If you set intentions last Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday after the New Moon became exact, today 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 you?

Acceptance of Life, in All its Forms — Forecast Nov. 5th – 11th
This week’s headline items: On Tuesday, Uranus reenters Aries and the Moon Nodes shift from Leo/Aquarius to Cancer/Capricorn. The New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday and the following day, Jupiter changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius. The Venus Station phase intensifies on Friday night, while on Saturday, Mercury starts to station, preparing for its retrograde phase. On Sunday, the Sun squares the degree of Aug.11th’s Leo Solar Eclipse and Mars conjuncts the Solar Eclipse degree from the Feb.15th’s Aquarian Eclipse.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for almost 5 hours), Thursday morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Saturday late evening (for 20 minutes)

Monday (Nov. 5th): the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. The day 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 see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
Monday very early morning: we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?
Monday early afternoon, we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.
Monday late evening feels quite harmonious, even given our urge to make progress and connect with like-minded people about our vision — we are definitely feeling social, and want to find commonalities.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a harmonious Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 1:40am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Nov. 2nd) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This aspect could be tremendously supportive when it comes to dissolving what no longer serves us.
Our intuition, imagination, and inspiration all seem to be “zeroed in”. We go beyond “tolerance”, to lovingly embrace differences in others, and give where it’s needed with open hearts and hands. All of this also feeds in to any creative and spiritual endeavors that start around this time.

On Nov. 6th in the afternoon, the Moon Nodes switched from Leo/Aquarius to Cancer/Capricorn; they will remain in those signs until May 2020! The last time the Moon Nodes were in these particular signs was back in April, 2000 — October, 2001.
The 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: our inner experience (symbolized by Cancer), and our outer obligations or goals (Capricorn). This will take looking closely at the balance between taking care of ourselves, versus taking care of others — and also at who we are inside, versus what we project to the world, how we portray ourselves.
This is also about developing healthy foundations, emotionally and materially, in private and in public. As best as you can, avoid “should-ing” on yourself: Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I’m doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do”) 😉
To get a more personal interpretation, we also need to take a look at the House placement of that Cancer/Capricorn polarity in our own birth charts, as well as the signs involved… we cover the houses in the webinar (I will include a link at the end of this article).
In Cancer, the North Node invites us to let ourselves be…

Moon Nodes are also connected to the Eclipse cycles; each of these cycles prompts us to evolve and provides an opportunity to progress to the next level of our Soul’s Journey, collectively and individually. The Solar Eclipse in 20.5º of Cancer on July 12th, 2018 started a new Eclipse cycle connected to the Cancer/Capricorn polarity.
Think back to that time and see what you discovered about yourself in relationship to Self-care. How was it a new beginning (or perhaps a preview of what’s to come) in connection with family, home (this could be a physical or emotional “home”) — was there a shift around feeling “at home” or “safe”, both internally and in the world?
We also discussed this in more detail during our last Forecasting Forum, in connection with our own birth charts; if you’d like to know more about how the Moon Nodes’ movements impact you personally, click here to get the video of the Forum.

On Thursday, Nov. 8th, at 7:38am EST, Jupiter moves from passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio into adventurous, enthusiastic Sagittarius, where it will journey until Dec. 2nd, 2019.
Jupiter moves through a 12-year cycle, so the last time it traveled through its own sign was between November, 2006 and December, 2007 — and the time before that was between December, 1994 and January, 1996.
Think back to those periods… what possibilities or opportunities arose for you? In what ways did you grow or expand? What felt like a birth or a new beginning back then? How could you take all of that to the next level?
Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet’s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.
The lower expressions of Jupiter include “Oh, the heck with it”, “I deserve this and more”, “the rules do not apply to me” — generally speaking, too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence, and so forth.
In the natal chart, the position of Jupiter reveals how we express generosity and tolerance; it also shows how we go about trusting others and improving our lives. Where do we look for wisdom and understanding?
Jupiter symbolizes the principle of expansion; in Scorpio it held a magnifying glass over authentic, emotional commitments or connections and thereby changed our perspective on our subconscious drives and fears, those suppressed or denied parts of ourselves.
Since Scorpio was all about feeling more fully and authentically connected to all parts of ourselves (and thereby feeling empowered), everything in the human unconscious was lit up — we got to see the darker side of things, our survival strategies — and our deepest, darkest desires.
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, that magnifying glass now swings over to…

Where does Jupiter-in-Sagittarius fall in your own birth chart? What aspects does it make during the year-long transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next one? What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where will you experience a major expansion until Dec. 2019? Where are you ready to go beyond what you currently belief is possible?
If you’d like more insight into those questions, we also covered the Jupiter movement into Sagittarius in more detail in our last Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how this planetary movement is impacting you personally, feel free to purchase the video-presentation of the last webinar — we applied the Jupiter movement to our own birth charts!

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Oct. 29th):the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late evening. 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 a 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 own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don’t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday morning, a Mercury/Jupiter alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of Scorpio becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Oct. 26th on, it will remain strong until Oct. 31st. This alignment brings optimism and a tendency to talk and think more. It favors writing, research, sharing resources, submitting applications and forms, and test-taking.
We can more readily exercise good judgment, take a more philosophical approach, and find it easier to bring a new perspective to our intimate relationships. There is a sense of mental expansion; we see our world as a setting for constant adventure and have a passion for personal growth. We might also get a little obsessed with learning something or exploring something new.
We are optimistic and enthusiastic — and things tend to go well as a result. It’s all about thinking big, while simultaneously going into deeper, more authentic emotional connections with ourselves and others… What if an expanding of our conception or perspective of intimacy, inner power and emotional safety with others could help us create those deeper, authentic, emotional connections? And what if that helped us manifest our desires?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius or0-1 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces? 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 late evening, a harmonious Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:57pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Oct. 27th on, it will remain strong until Nov. 1st. This aspect is a wonderful possibility for deep emotional healing in regards to our conditioning and day-to-day thinking structures.
We can bring compassion, for ourselves and others, to emotionally “difficult” communications. We are able to allow more for a flow of feelings as we share ourselves; forgiveness and understanding towards ourselves and others comes more easily now in general.

No Need to Rush Anything — Forecast for Oct. 22nd – 28th
This week’s headline items: the Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Tuesday morning and the Full Moon in Taurus becomes exact in the early afternoon. On Friday, Jupiter squares the Solar Eclipse degree from Feb.15th, while on Saturday, Mars opposes the Solar Eclipse degree from Aug.11th. Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase on Sunday.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning until 2:58am EDT, Tuesday afternoon (for a little over 20 hours), Friday late morning (for almost 5 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for almost 19 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Oct. 22nd):the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and VoC, until 2:58am EDT. At that time,the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.
Monday early morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday Oct. 21st on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.
We may feel an internal dilemma around our ability to get things done — a drop in our self-confidence and self-esteem. This could lead to us “hiding out”… which leaves us feeling strangely guilty… which leads to us saying weird things… and we end up thinking “did I really just say that?”
As best as you can, be kind and compassionate with yourself — forgive yourself for having a human moment — this will support your healing process.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of Libra or Pisces or 0 degrees of Scorpio or Aries? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules of Leo)
Monday afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 3:14pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (Oct. 20th) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening (Oct. 23rd). This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it. It’s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren’t on “automatic”… we have to go after them, realize them.

Share about Deep Transformative Experiences – Forecast for Oct. 15th – 21st
This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday afternoon. There will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for almost 10 hours), Friday morning (almost 8 hours), and Sunday evening (a little over 7 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
Next week’s Forecasting Forum is approaching! If you want to know how the upcoming, big planetary shifts in early November are going to impact you personally (Jupiter moves into Sagittarius, the Moon Nodes move into Cancer/Capricorn), feel free to join us, live or via the video representation — we will apply what’s coming up to our own birth charts. 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.
Monday (Oct. 15th):the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master until the end of 2020. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.
For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.
Since Sunday afternoon (Oct. 14th), this Moon placement started the energetic build up toward the first Quarter Moon (exact Tuesday afternoon).
Monday morning, we have the opportunity to make meaningful connections that could support our long-term goals.
Monday late afternoon, a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 8 degrees of Scorpiobecomes exact at 4:21pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Oct. 13th on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Oct. 17th). This is an excellent time to share about deep transformative or shamanistic experiences, intimate connections with others, financial partnerships, our deeper motivations or our unconscious minds — or anything we feel deeply passionate about — and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.
This alignment supports communicating from a deeply passionate heart — and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, emotional honesty, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time — and want to be around people who share this passion.
We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word — literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations — especially when these words speak of something deep (or psychologically intriguing).

A Strong Scorpio Flavor — Forecast for Oct. 8th – 14th
This week’s headline items: the New Moon in Libra becomes exact late on Monday late evening, Mars ends its Shadow phase and Mercury changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Tuesday; Pluto’s Station ends on Friday, and on Sunday, Venus ends hers.
Good times to start taking action on your New Moon Intentions are Saturday during the day or Sunday late afternoon (as always, all times in this forecast correspond to the Eastern US time zone).
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for a little over 19 hours), Thursday evening (for a little over 10.5 hours), and Saturday late evening (for a little over 18 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Oct. 8th):the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until 12:09am EDT Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next few days are likewise a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.
We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
Monday late evening (11:47pm EDT): the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 16 degrees of Libra, beginning a new Moon cycle.
The New Moon is an introverted time — we go within to learn what we wish to align ourselves with for the next 28 days. With the New Moon in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, this will likely be win-win situations, fair exchanges, harmony in relationships and our general environment. Check out my New Moon video to learn more about this.
That said, we need to acknowledge that this New Moon has a very Scorpionic flavor to it, due to both the Pluto Station and its square to the New Moon, and due to the Venus’s Station in Scorpio.
More about those details in a moment…. but first, let’s talk about the Libra component…

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.
Join me as I share about several upcoming astrological events:
* New Moon in almost 16º of Libra (exact Oct. 8th at 11:47pm EDT)
* The New Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn and quincunxes Neptune in Pisces
* Pluto is now direct but still exalted in the sky
* Venus (ruler of Libra) is currently in Scorpio, also exalted in the sky, starts her 6-week Retrograde phase on Oct.5th
* Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces at the time of the New Moon
Could you give yourself permission to simply observe any self-protective tendencies when they show up?
What if you kept your heart open and your mind soothed, as best as you are able, for the next 28 days?
Do you have an Ascendant (or personal planets) in 14-18 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn or Cancer?
My next MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM — which is a 90-minute webinar — will be on Wednesday, Oct. 24th at 2pm PDT/5pmEDT/10pm BST (London-time). PLEASE NOTE that we have two big shifts coming up in November: Jupiter changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Nov. 8th (and stays there until Dec. 2019), and the Moon Nodes move into Cancer/Capricorn on Nov. 6th (until May 2020).
If you want to know how these big 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.

Completion or Change — Forecast for Oct. 1st – 7th
This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday early morning, Venus comes to a halt on Friday afternoon — starting her 6-week Retrograde phase — and the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Friday evening.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday until 2pm EDT; Wednesday early morning (for a little over 12.5 hours), Friday morning (for almost 12 hours), and Sunday late morning for a little over 11 hours).
One quick announcement, before we get to this week’s forecast:

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday (Oct. 1st):the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoCuntil 2:00pm EDT. Until the afternoon, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂 And of course, since we also have a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.
Monday at 2:00pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon. 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-a-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, or you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Tuesday early morning).
Monday evening: we may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others. This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to…

The Roles We Identify With — Forecast for Sept. 24th – 30th
This week’s headline items: the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Monday late evening; Venus starts to slow down on Tuesday — preparing for her 6-week Retrograde phase; Chiron re-enters Pisces on Tuesday evening; and Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday late evening — ending its 5-month Retrograde phase.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 17.5 hours), Wednesday morning (for almost 21 hours), Friday early evening (for almost 15 hours), and Sunday late morning (for almost 26.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
Last chance to sign up for this week’s Forecasting Forum! Live this Thursday, Sept. 27th at 3pm PDT/6pm EDT/11pm BST (London-time). We will talk in more detail about the Venus Station in 9-11º of Scorpio, her Retrograde phase (which starts on Oct. 5th), and the Pluto Station in 18-19º of Capricorn (goes direct on Sept. 30th).
If you want to know how to align yourself with these planetary movements, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.
Monday (Sept. 24th):the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 7:04pm EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the rest of the day.
Monday at 1:26am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 17.5 hours, until 7:04pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could an optimistic approach towards the past allow for a new perspective?
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday all day until the evening ahead of time.
Monday afternoon,a somewhat challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday evening (Sept. 23rd) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening (Sept. 25th) . This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.
An unexpected turn of events could leave us uneasy or unsettled. How flexible could you be, if you really tried? What needs to be shifted internally, so you can stay open and aligned with your unique, divine values?
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Libra or Taurus ? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)
Monday at 7:04pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning; this Moon placement starts the build up towards the Full Moon, exact later in the evening. 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 at 10:52pm EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 2 degrees of Aries. The entrance of the Moon into Aries earlier this evening started the energetic build up towards the Full Moon.The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries makes an opposition to the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra.
For this Full Moon, and indeed much of this month, our attention is directed toward creating more balance in our lives and more peace in our world.
The Aries/Libra polarity directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even heal them. In particular, it brings the focus to…

"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.
