This week’s headline items: Saturn remains exalted all week; Pluto ends its Station phase on Tuesday; Saturn comes to a halt at 0.5 Pisces on Saturday very early morning — ending its 4.5-month Retrograde phase that started on June 17th; the last Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact on Sunday early morning.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for 3.5 hours), Wednesday morning (for almost 9 hours), Friday late evening (almost 4 hours), and Sunday night (just over 12 hours)
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know that…
In this webinar you will learn how to best make use of the exalted Saturn energy in Pisces until Nov. 14th, and the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus-Scorpio that will last until December 6th.
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peacefulTaurus until 11:08am EDT. 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 thinguntil 11:08am EDT? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday at 7:36am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 3.5 hours until 11:08am EDT. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regard to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time.
Monday at 11:08am EDT, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday early evening.For the next 2.5 days, we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead…

This week’s headline items: Pluto and Saturn remain exalted all week; the Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio early on Monday afternoon; Saturn’s station in Pisces intensifies on Friday; and a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Taurus becomes exact on Saturday afternoon.
Please note that Daylight Savings Time ends in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning (Oct. 29th) but continues in the US until Nov. 5th!
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for 13.5 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for almost 3.5 hours), and Saturday early morning (for almost 3.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a last reminder…
We are getting ready to complete the Taurus-Scorpio Eclipse cycle that started in November of 2021! A powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact this Saturday. This allows us to complete an evolutionary process that emphasizes a healthy sense of self-esteem and relationship with the physical world — we have been learning how to value ourselves, each other, and the Earth more highly.
On Friday this week, you will get a chance to take a look at your own birth chart to see how this might impact you personally. We will also address Saturn’s Station Direct phase in Pisces. You can ask a question in connection with these planetary movements in advance. Once registered, you can email mebetween now and Oct. 27th at 3pm EDT! I will answer questions in the order they were received.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 23rd:
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, and interactions are 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, innovative methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday early afternoon at 12:21pm EDT, the Sun changes signs from harmony-seeking Libra to passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Nov. 22nd. The guiding principle of Scorpio is “I desire”. With the Sun in Scorpio, our consciousness is drawn towards depth, intimacy, and extremes of feeling.
Superficiality simply will not do for the next 30 days. We have the desire to get to the bottom of what matters. We are more interested in that which is hidden, taboo, secret, or suppressed. Scorpio’s energy is passionate, strong-willed, and intense. Used in its highest vibration, it can be an immensely healing and transformative energy.
On a lower vibration, Scorpio can express jealousy and vindictiveness — and do so using manipulative tactics. Direct your awareness to your feelings, fears, and behaviors. As best as you can, embrace all your feelings, let go of your fears, and rid yourself of behaviors that no longer serve you.
All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Scorpio Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Scorpio, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more aware of your own shadow parts… anything that you have suppressed or denied about yourself.
Monday at 3:04pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 13.5 hours until 4:33am EDT (on Tuesday early morning). During this intuitive time, you may feel pulled into two different directions: On the one hand, you may experience a need to connect with like-minded people while remaining objective; on the other hand, you may want to make space for pursuing your financial vision — and breaking free from outdated value systems.
You may have to address what you value, both in others and in yourself (which informs self-worth); as best as you can, use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
As always, with a Moon VoC, avoid starting anything brand-new — instead, stick to your routine or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon until Tuesday early morning ahead of time.

On October 28th at 4:24 pm EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun (in 5º of Taurus/Scorpio). The entrance of the Moon into Taurus on Oct. 28th at 7:44am EDT begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
This powerful Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse.Every six months, the Sun, Moon, & Earth align precisely enough for Solar and Lunar Eclipses to occur.
This powerful Full Moon is a shallow Partial Lunar Eclipse viewable across Europe, Africa, most of Asia, and western Australia. The partial Eclipse lasts 78 minutes (=1hr 18min), so we will feel the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for approximately 39 days.
This Lunar Eclipse is the last of the Eclipses in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity — an Eclipse cycle that began in November 2021!
This allows us to complete an evolutionary process emphasizing creating a healthy sense of self-esteem and having a healthy relationship with the physical world — learning how to value ourselves, each other, and the Earth.
So, the question is: How well have you been doing with this exploration for yourself since November of 2021? What more is there to be learned? What processes are asking to be completed?
What fears are still asking to be faced? What old traumas still need to be healed? What’s the best way to own your power? What is still holding you back?
As you might know from my last Solar Eclipse video, Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collectively and individually).
The Lunar Eclipse highlights relationships of all kinds — but with this particular Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, there is a heightened emphasis on self-value and intimate relationships. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices.
We become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored — or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what we need to explore, embrace, and integrate about the Taurus energy.
What became clearer at that time around exploring my talents? What about my self-worth — was I able to see my value? What about my relationship with money? To my physical reality? My Body? My ability to receive pleasure? To experience inner peace? Where do I need to take this to the next level?
There is currently an Early Bird Special that is available until October 25th! So I invite you to take advantage of that — unless you are already a Star Member — you are automatically registered and will receive an invite email to join us live (it goes out the day before the live event). I release the mp4 video recording within 24 hours of the live event.
Many planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse chart:
The Moon in Taurus closely conjuncts Jupiter
The Moon not only opposes the Sun but also Mercury & Mars in Scorpio
The Moon sextiles an exalted Saturn in Pisces
Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is currently in Virgo and trines Uranus & Jupiter in Taurus
Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces
The modern ruler of Scorpio (Pluto) is still in Capricorn and exalted, sextiling Neptune
Pluto also still squares the Moon Nodes in Aries-Libra
Pluto also trines Uranus in Taurus
Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) closely aligns with Mercury in Scorpio
Mars & Mercury in Scorpio almost exactly oppose Jupiter in Taurus
I’ll give you more details in a moment. For the next 39 days, we seek…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 16th:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day.It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities”
Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs through subtraction — it encourages us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s 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”, and “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 …
Monday morning, we are invited to expand our perspectives on finances and self-worth, explore our intimate partnerships, and balance our need for intimate connections against an exploration of our talents and values.
As best as you can, expand your perspectives around those deeper emotional connections that contribute to your own experience of wholeness, emotional satisfaction, and the physical reality of your life — and enjoy the optimism. Remember not to overextend yourself! (Moon in Scorpio opposes Jupiter in Taurus, exact at 7:31am EDT)
Monday after 1:55pm EDT, is the best time to start setting our New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions. As mentioned on Saturday afternoon (Oct. 14th), with a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait until 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact before setting any intentions, as the energy of an Eclipse is quite intense, and it’s therefore wise to wait until the energy settles before setting our intentions.
Make your Intentions powerful — after all, they cover the next 5.5 months — and if possible, align them with the Solar Eclipse energies that I spoke about in my most recent videos — you might want to watch them again if you are not sure anymore what they are — click here to watch my videos on the Solar Eclipse
For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions,click here or for my article on Solar Eclipse Intentions, click here
Monday late afternoon, we are invited to make some inner adjustments: we feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice — a choice that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and connect with others; on the other hand, we are more aware of triggers and limitations connected to old childhood wounds.
As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger). Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others today?(Moonin Scorpio quincunxes Chiron in Aries, exact at 4:11pm EDT)

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 9th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day.It will journey there until Tuesday morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …
Monday morning, things flow nicely, and we feel excited about new healing modalities. There’s an opportunity here to be compassionate toward ourselves and others and to connect to our inner child. As best as you can, have fun when connecting with others, bring a healing quality to the table by tapping into your inner joy, explore things on a holistic level, and take a risk. (Moon in Leo trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 7:13am EDT)
Monday afternoon, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need to connect with our inner child (creative self-expression and joy), and on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments, and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (Moonin Leo squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 4:36pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we may want to have some fun but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet? (Moonin Leo quincunxes Neptune in Pisces, exact at 11:21pm EDT)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a Venus/Saturn opposition becomes exact at 2:11am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (Oct. 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning (Oct. 13th). This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives — at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.
This can be eye-opening — a signal to work on improving the “ways” (as well as the “things”) that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. We may feel isolated and definitely more introverted. But what’s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.
We could be withdrawing or holding back a little as we attempt to figure out what we want and need.
We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing, and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent “going through the motions” on a social and/or mental level.
Our goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own spiritual truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened.
Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this — and on an external level with others.
Ask yourself: What is asking to be improved? Where do I need to focus? How might being present and patient support me and others? If doubts arise, could I refrain from overthinking things and stay connected to my intuition and heart energies?
Think back to January of this year, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in Aquarius. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds then? What are the fruits now?
In other words: What has emerged since January in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven’t) learned since then… Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning and integration? Do the commitments you made then feel both attainable and practical?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-4 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 28-29 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

48 hours before and after an Eclipse, we are experiencing heavy energetic downloads, so it’s best to wait to set Solar Eclipse Intentions until after these intense downloads are over.
Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that take place approximately every six months — this is the second Solar Eclipse in 2023 (in this particular Eclipse cycle that will be in effect until March 2025). The first Solar Eclipse of 2023 took place in Aries on April 20th.
Think back to late April and see what seeds got planted in your life in connection with the last Solar Eclipse. Did you set Solar Eclipse Intentions on April 22nd or 23rd? Did something end or begin at that time? What have you discovered about your physical vitality and self-identity?
This Eclipse is an Annular Solar Eclipse; these occur when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while the Moon is at or near its farthest point from Earth. Because of the distance to the Earth, it appears smaller than the Sun and does not entirely cover the Sun. As a result, the Moon appears as a dark disk on top of a larger, bright disk, creating what looks like a ring of light around the Moon.
This Eclipse will be most visible in parts of the United States (mainly Oregon, Northern California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas), Mexico, and many countries in South and Central America.
Everyone in the U.S. will see a partial Solar Eclipse, with those farther West seeing a much more significant chunk taken out of the Sun.
No matter where you are on the planet, however, the effects of the Eclipse will be transformative globally.
We also addressed Eclipse Season and the Solar Eclipse in Libra in more detail in our webinar: “Eclipse Season & Pluto Station”. If you missed this fantastic online event ==> click here to get this fabulous 1hour 45 min. webinar
Solar Eclipses, in particular, often correspond to significant endings and beginnings. They occur close to the same degree every 19 years, and the last time we had a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in this particular degree and sign while the South Node was traveling through Libra was on October 14th, 2004.
We will likely experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonance”, not repetition — so think back to the Fall of 2004 and ask yourself: Were there any significant endings and beginnings? What was important to me back then? If I were to take those priorities to the next level, where would that next level find me?
A couple of things to note for this Solar Eclipse chart: the New Moon not only aligns with the South Node but also with Mercury in Libra; it also makes a Quincunx to Uranus in Taurus and an opposition to Chiron & the North Node in Aries.
Pluto in Capricorn has a potent role in this Eclipse chart, as it is exalted (due to its Station phase), and it squares the Moon Nodes and, therefore also the New Moon/Solar Eclipse.
Squares are 90º aspects that mark a turning point that we must take to make progress; they ask us to stretch and grow beyond who we used to be.
These are the major themes of this Solar Eclipse chart, and we will address them in more detail. First, let’s talk a bit more about…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 16-26º of Libra, Aries, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you may feel the effects of this powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse 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).
Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipseis a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 5.5-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just the next 28 days.
Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact. We are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are quite intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions… We also definitely do not want to do this during a Moon void of course.
Thebest and most potent times to set your Intentions for this Solar Eclipse are between 1:55pm (on Oct. 16th) and 11:44am (on Oct. 17th) and then again from 3:36pm (Oct. 17th) until 1:55pm (on Oct. 18th) — (in US Eastern Daylight Savings Time — i.e. the New York time zone).
Set powerful intentions — again, they cover the next 5.5 months — and if possible, align them with the Libra energy!
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions.

The last Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact late Friday morning; Venus exits her post-Shadow phase early Saturday; and last but not least, Venus finally changes signs from Leo to Virgo late Sunday evening.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 4 hours), Thursday very early morning (for 6 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 4 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 2nd:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peacefulTaurus all day.It will journey there until Monday night/Tuesday very 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 thinguntil Monday night? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday late morning, a Mercury/Neptune opposition becomes exact at 11:34am EDT. We have been feeling this aspect build since Saturday evening (Sept. 30th); it will remain strong until Wednesday morning (Oct. 4th). This aspect is asking us to balance logic and intuition (left vs. right brain).
On the one hand, we have strong intuitive connections… on the other, the struggle to focus could lead to confusion or wishful thinking.
Ask yourself: Am I feeling overwhelmed? Do I get easily distracted? Do I zone out? If the answer to any of those is “yes”, as best as you can, center yourself in the here and now. Allow yourself to be present, listen to what’s inside of you (beyond the mind), and trust your intuitive Self.
We are more inclined to daydream, fantasize, and imagine things; this can lead to some frustrating communications. As best as you can, use this aspect to create spiritual connections — or something beautiful, imaginative, or inspiring to others.
Ask yourself: Could I simply tune in for a moment and see if I need to take a break (or at least slow down a little)? Could I be 5% more compassionate and kind to myself and others?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-28 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this opposition quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday late evening, at 9:20pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 1:03am EDT (Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regard to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, at 1:03am EDT, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Thursday morning. For the next 2.5 days, we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead…

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are 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, innovative methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday morning, a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact (for the third time) at 8:10am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday (Sept. 22nd) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Sept. 27th). Due to Mercury’s recent Retrograde phase, this aspect has been exact twice before; once on Aug. 9th, then again on Sept. 4th.
Think back to those dates: What down-to-earth conversation(s) most helped you organize yourself and maybe got you exploring practical mental and physical health applications? What are you ready to experiment with?
During this time, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively, and readily inspire others.
We are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices, and other countries.
Ask yourself: What could I learn about my daily work or health routines or my values and talents that would expand my horizons? What might support a more abundant approach to my daily life?
Optimism plays a big role here as well. Ask yourself: What could I take care of at this time that is in service to my physical & mental well-being and my bank account?
With this aspect, we can also gain a new perspective or philosophy around decluttering, healthcare, healing, and self-growth. Once we understand the inseparability of body & mind, healing & wholeness, we can improve our health, and our relationship with our body-mind will shift.
Ask yourself: When I start to feel a sense of separation within myself, with my body, or with others, could I then experiment with refraining from criticism towards myself, my body, or others just for one day?
What does “wholeness” mean to me? How can my mind support my body and vice versa?How could optimistic thoughts help me have a healthy relationship to myself? How about around my self-worth? My body? Talents? Finances?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-18 degrees of Virgo, Taurus, or Capricorn? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday evening, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people and involvement in a cause or for exploring your values and expanding your perspectives around financial issues or the physical enjoyment of life.(Moon inAquarius squares Jupiter in Taurus, exact at 7:49pm EDT)
Monday late evening, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the need to connect to like-minded people about our future visions — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body, sharing in a loving, nurturing way. (Moon inAquarius quincunxes Mercury in Virgo, exact at 9:02pm EDT)
We are going to enter ECLIPSE SEASON on October 4th! This is a time of uncertainty and change. A time that invites us to allow for a consciousness upgrade.On Friday this week, you will get a chance to take a look at your own birth chart to see how this might impact you personally.

On Sept. 29th, at 5:58am EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 6 degrees of Aries — the Moon’s entry into Aries on Thursday evening (Sept. 28th) starts the build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body”, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. This is especially true for this particular Full Moon —since it is the last of four Super Full Moons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects.
This is also the first lunation since the Moon Nodes have moved into the Aries-Librapolarity, so it’s a good preview for this Eclipse Season.

Pluto is exalted due to its Station phaseat the time of the Full Moon. It is preparing to halt and end its 5-month Retrograde phase on October 10th (4 days before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact).
Pluto in Capricorn will become more and more exalted the closer we get to Oct. 10th. More about this in a moment… but first, let’s talk about the Full Moon polarity, in this case, the Aries/Libra polarity.
This polarity directs our awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Super Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles.
In particular, it brings our focus to “independence”, so ask yourself: Where do I need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Less? Where have I been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited? Or perhaps simply accepted for what they are?
This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Ask: Where have these energies gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?
Aries symbolizes our requirement to be free to explore and express ourselves; Libra, on the other hand, represents our desire to feel connected and see both sides of the coin by looking at contrast and comparison.
The higher vibrations of Aries include…

Being “Courageously Yourself” With All Your Sensitivities & Insecurities
This week’s headline items: Pluto starts to slow down (station) again on Monday; from Wednesday on, it’s time to act on our New Moon intentions; Mercury’s station comes to an end on Thursday; on Friday, the first Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact, and Jupiter’s station ends; the Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra very early on Saturday morning — which also represents the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: until 12:58am EDT on Monday very early morning, Wednesday morning (for almost 4 hours), Friday afternoon (for 48 minutes), and Sunday late afternoon (for almost 3.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a reminder…
Next week, Friday, Sept. 29th at 5pm EDT, we will be doing a deep dive into Eclipse Season and asking what we can expect of the first South Node Eclipse in Libra — which includes an exalted Pluto in Capricorn squaring this powerful Solar Eclipse.
If you are curious as to how this coming Eclipse season will impact you personally and what lessons might be in store for you on this next leg of your Soul’s journey, join us!

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, September 18th:
Monday at 12:58am EDT, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday 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 through subtraction — it encourages us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas. ==> For more about this powerful Moon placement, see last night’s section (Sunday, Sept. 17th.)
On Monday, Pluto (the modern ruler of Scorpio) starts to slow down (i.e. station) again in Capricorn, preparing to come to a halt on Oct. 10th after its 5-month Retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exaltedfor the next 6 weeks, until Oct. 31st.
When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us — and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy has picked up speed again (around Oct. 31st).
Pluto is associated with our Soul Purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment — our ability to feel empowered from within through the experience of wholeness — and to our deepest passions.
It is also associated with transformation, for example, our ability to transform darkness into light or “death” into “rebirth”. Those terms don’t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth but rather some sort of ending and beginning.
To get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new — something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose.
When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity — and feel a newness and empowerment from within.
As best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is “in your face” for the next 6 weeks. Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul’s purpose (your deep authentic Self).
Ask yourself: Where am I holding on out of fear? What habits, behaviors, or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel?
When we confront our fears, we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths; use this time to see what’s in the way of creating deeper, more empowering emotional connections to your long-term goals, especially if you are feeling a disconnect with the current ones.
Ask yourself: What would I like to build out there in the world and leave behind as a legacy? Am I ready to make choices that are not based on “shoulds”? What would that look like? What feels emotionally authentic and empowering to me? To others? To society? What is realistic?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra, or 0 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this station more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Scorpio (Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio).
Monday early morning, we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to adopt a mature approach when dealing with our feelings — although a gentle approach might still be the best. We feel focused and can be very persistent in spiritual or creative endeavors.
We are invited to look at the long-term impact of how we connect to life and its flow and need to slow down and take our time if we are to manifest something that can serve us in the long run — rushing things will most likely backfire right now. Connecting from an intuitive pace, trusting the process, and going with the flow are all crucial here!(the Moon in Scorpio trines Saturn in Pisces, exact at 5:19am EDT)
Monday early evening, we have an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. This also provides an opportunity to think about the details that go into our daily routines and develop clarity around them. Finally, it’s also an opportune time to talk about things that could improve our well-being — this could include health issues or concerns or simply looking at our nutrition and what empowers us on a physical and emotional level.
What might become possible if you let yourself trust others 5% more? What if you used that atmosphere of trust to share practical advice? Or discussed your physical and emotional health and well-being?(the Moon in Scorpio sextiles Mercury in Virgo, exact at 5:52pm EDT)

This week’s headline items: Jupiter & Mercury remain exalted all week; Mercury’s Station intensifies on Tuesday; Uranus ends its Station phase on Wednesday (although it stays retrograde); the New Moon in Virgo becomes exact late on Thursday evening; on Friday afternoon, Mercury comes to a halt in Virgo (ending its 3-week Retrograde), starting its post-Shadow phase; finally, Venus ends her Station phase on Saturday (getting back to her regular speed while moving direct).
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 14 hours), Friday late morning (for almost 4 hours), and Sunday late evening (for almost 4 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, September 11th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …
Monday afternoon, we are invited to connect with others (and with yourself) on an authentic, playful level. Could you permit yourself to get in touch with your inner child — and enjoy the creative flow within? (the Moon conjuncts Venus in Leo, exact at 3:32pm EDT)
Monday evening, a somewhat challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 6:40pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday evening (Sept. 10th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (Sept. 12th). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward, and must 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 do 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 18-20 degrees of Virgo 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).
Also, on Monday evening, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
Make space either for your inner child, for creative self-expression & fun, or for exploring your values and expanding your perspectives around financial issues or the physical enjoyment of life. (the Moon in Leo squares Jupiter in Taurus, exact at 7:54pm EDT)

On Sept. 14th at 9:40pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 22 degrees of Virgo, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. We start to feel the effects of this New Moon the moment the Moon entered Virgo onSept. 13th.Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject.
This New Moon has an abundance of planets in Earth signs:the Moon, the Sun, and Mercury in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter, and Uranus in Taurus (all planets in Earth Signs).
The element of Earth deals with the physical reality of things and usually requires a practical approach. This means that our focus will be on those things for the next four weeks — on both the individual and collective levels.
We still have seven planets out of 9 in Retrograde motion when the New Moon becomes exact. With this many planets moving backward, we might feel things are not moving forward. If we experience this, we might want to look at what is holding us back — old fears and limiting beliefs stemming from unresolved trauma, childhood programming, and social conditioning.
We can see and take our next steps as we heal old wounds, break old patterns, and realize new perspectives.
I will talk more about this in connection with the planetary aspects of this New Moon chart, but first, let’s look at the Virgo energy of this New Moon:
Virgo provides an opportunity to learn about being of service — and what it might mean to strengthen our focus on improving our daily routines — getting organized, for example — and taking care of health matters.
This New Moon cycle will thus be a great time to begin new projects that demand attention to detail, list-making, and taking pride in “small” accomplishments.
We might start a new health regimen, perhaps by paying close attention to our diet; we could also set up specific routines that help us manage our lives constructively and mindfully.
This cycle is about handling the nitty-gritty details of our day-to-day life in an organized, step-by-step fashion so we can free our minds of clutter. Where could you use more open space?
Things to watch out for: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn’t get done “right”.
Another great way to step into the higher vibrations of Virgo…

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon void of course phase.
So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be between 9:40pm Thursday evening (Sept. 14th) and 9:49am Friday late morning (Sept. 15th); and then again from 1:44pm on Sept. 15th until 9:40pm on Saturday, Sept. 16th (New York-time).
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (that’s the US East Coast time zone), feel free to join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on “X” (the app formerly known as Twitter).I will be posting reminders on Sept. 14th in the evening, and on Sept. 15th& 16ththroughout the day to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.

This week’s headline items: Venus, Uranus & Jupiter are exalted (stationing) all week; Jupiter starts its 4-month Retrograde when it comes to a halt in Taurus late on Monday morning; the last Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Wednesday evening; Retrograde Mercury in Virgo starts to station again on Saturday; the Balsamic Moon phase begins late Sunday afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early afternoon (for a little over 3 hours), Thursday evening (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Sunday morning (for almost 4 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, September 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.
In other words: change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thinguntil Tuesday afternoon? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday early morning, a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 6:29am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Friday early morning (Sept. 1st) on; it will be strong until Thursday morning (Sept. 7th). Due to Mercury’s Retrograde phase, we are experiencing this aspect for the second time within the last four weeks.
Think back to August 6-13th: What down-to-earth conversation(s) most helped you organize yourself and maybe got you exploring practical mental and physical health applications? What are you ready to experiment with?
During this time, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively, and readily inspire others.
We are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices, and other countries.
Ask yourself: What could I learn about my daily work or health routines or my values and talents that would expand my horizons? What might support a more abundant approach to my daily life?
Optimism plays a big role here as well. Ask yourself: What could I take care of at this time that is in service to my physical & mental well-being and my bank account?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-19 degrees of Virgo, Taurus, or Capricorn? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday at 10:10am EDT, Jupiter comes to a halt at 15.5 degrees of Taurus, starting its yearly 4-month Retrograde phase. Retrograde phases are inner processes — they help us connect to a particular energy internally and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again).
Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap into our inner wisdom, optimism, sense of possibility, and inner understanding of how the world works. This Retrograde phase lasts until Dec. 30th (and Jupiter will retrograde to 5.5º Taurus).
During this time, we get to choose what we truly believe — which beliefs serve us and which don’t — and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in Taurus, use these coaching questions:
What is in the way of my feeling abundant? What do I believe about my capacity to make money? What prevents me from slowing down and enjoying the physical experience of life? Or of seeing my body as an asset and something that holds wisdom?
What beliefs or social/cultural conditioning keep me from seeing myself as valuable? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What do I observe about my expectations? Are they rigid or old-fashioned in any way? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards my body and my finances?
The connection to inner wisdom is definitely heightened during the retrograde phase, so ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself: “What if I did know? What might it be in that case?”
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 4-17 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you may be more affected by this Retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).

This week’s headline items: Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus are exalted (staining) all week; Uranus comes to a halt in Taurus to start its yearly Retrograde phase on Monday late evening; Venus’ Station phase intensifies on Tuesday; Mercury’s station ends on Tuesday (but the planet remains retrograde); the Full Moon in Pisces becomes exact late on Wednesday evening; Jupiter’s Station phase intensifies on Thursday; Venus comes to a halt in Leo late on Sunday evening, ending her 6-week Retrograde and beginning her post-Shadow phase.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), Tuesday late evening (for almost 11 hours), Friday morning (for almost 3 hours), and Sunday morning (for 3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a last reminder…
We are getting ready to re-evaluate old beliefs and perspectives or attitudes, as well as our cultural conditioning. Jupiter’s Retrograde phase begins on Sept. 4th (until Dec. 30th), and this will focus on our finances and ability to create abundance and see ourselves as worthy.
On Friday this week, you will get a chance to take a look at your own birth chart to see how this might impact you personally. You can also ask a question in connection with this planetary movement in advance. Once registered, you can email mebetween now and Sept. 1st at 3pm EDT! I will answer questions in the order they were received.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, August 28th:
Monday, the Moon remainsinambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn until 10:32am EDT. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Monday at 7:49am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 2.5 hours until 10:32am EDT. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. You might 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.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time.
Monday at 10:32am EDT, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are 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, innovative methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius— and this planet is currently moving through Taurus, making these next two days a great time to look at our physical connection to our own body, finances, and whatever is most important to us on this planet.
It’s also a great time to innovate and make changes in our lives around any physical matters that no longer serve us or keep us stuck in the past; we need to elevate our thinking if we want our bodies and the planet to vibrate at a higher frequency.
Ask yourself: Do I need to give my body something different to raise it to a higher vibration? When I tune in to myself, what insights does my body provide?
Where have I become too rigid in connection with my body, my physical resources, or my talents? Where have I become too comfortable with those things? What is my connection to the Earth? To Nature? Do I need more physical space? More physical movement?
Monday at 10:39pm EDT, Uranus comes to a halt at 23 degrees of Taurus, starting its yearly 5-month Retrograde phaseuntil January 27th, 2024. During the Uranus Retrograde phase, we are invited to access the Uranus energy from within.
Our intuitions will be very strong during this time, and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This aspect gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.
As best as you can, take a look at whatever inside has been blocking your sense of freedom: Are you expressing your individuality to the fullest? Are you connecting to a larger vision?
Remember, doing the inner work is just as important as making progress in the outer world — the “Inner Universe” informs the outer — one cannot happen without the other
We have five months to take a look inside at whatever has been thwarting our progress. Ask yourself: Where are inner roadblocks popping up? Could I give myself some introspective time to receive some practical insights and ideas to help me go around those roadblocks and journey into the next phase of my life?
Some of us will feel the effects of the Retrograde phase more than others. This is particularly true if you have personal planets in 17-25 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Leo — and if you have Aquarius as your Sun- or Rising-Sign. For you in particular, this is a great time to reevaluate future visions — and perhaps to reexamine any group causes that you want to be a part of.

On August 30th, at 9:36pm EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 7.5 degrees of Pisces. The Moon in creative, free-flowing Pisces makes an opposition to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical Virgo — the entrance of the Moon into Pisces on Wednesday morning (Aug. 30th) starts the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
This is the third of four Super Full Moons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects. It is also the second Full Moon in the same calendar month (in this case, August) and thus an example of the famous “Blue Moon“!
On Aug. 30th, we can ask ourselves: How far have we come since the Aug. 16th New Moon? What can we see now that was not apparent then?
This Full Moon has seven planets in Retrograde motion: Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This indicates a strong need for inner processing and aligning ourselves with those planetary energies from within.
It’s a necessary phase of re-evaluation, restructuring, and letting go. It also reminds us that internal shifts are required before changing our life or the world.
Often, things appear to slow down during a retrograde passage because internal shifts have to happen before we can progress; once a planet turns direct, though, we feel ready to move forward in that area of life.
With this Full Moon, we are also dealing with an exalted Venus, Jupiter & Uranus — they are exalted because they are reducing their speed in preparation to change directions.
Here, we are getting ready to re-evaluate old beliefs and perspectives or attitudes, as well as our cultural conditioning (Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus); between Sept. 4th and Dec. 30th, this will focus on our finances, our ability to create abundance and see ourselves as worthy.

Either way, register here now (unless you are already a Star Member — in that case, you are automatically registered). Early Bird Pricing is still available until Aug. 30th at midnight EDT!
Uranus in Tauruscomes to a haltonly two days before the Full Moon becomes exact, on Aug. 28th!, starting its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase that will last until January 27th, 2024.
Since Uranus represents things like breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future that serves others and ourselves, inner and outer freedoms, etc. — these themes will be in our awareness, for better or worse.
Ask yourself: If I’m being completely honest, how free do I feel with my body, finances, and talents? Am I honoring my individuality? My differences? Am I connecting to a larger vision for the future? Is anything holding me back?

This week’s headline items: Mercury, Uranus, and Jupiter are all exalted (stationing) this week; Uranus’ station intensifies on Tuesday; the Sun changes signs from Leo to Virgo early Wednesday; Mercury comes to a halt to start its 3-week Retrograde phase on Wednesday afternoon; the first Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Thursday morning; Venus starts to station (slow down) again on Friday; Mars changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Sunday late morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for almost 3 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 3 hours), and Saturday morning (for a little over 1 hour).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, August 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 7:22pm EDT. 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.
Monday afternoon, a somewhat challenging Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:07pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday morningon, it will remain strong until Tuesday late evening. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and must make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness so that we can make adjustments.
This might concern compromising with others. Our fear of being manipulated might make us stubborn, or it might make us manipulative ourselves. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative/the higher road, adjusting as needed.
We might be forced to focus, time and again, on details we would prefer to ignore. When life slows down or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways we can’t comprehend. Stay as open and observant as you can.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-28 degrees of Leo or Capricorn? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun rules Leo, and Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
As mentioned on Sunday already, the Sun in Leo is also the Focal Point of a YOD-aspect (aka “the Finger of God”). The Yod aspect consists of two Quincunxes, in this case, connecting the Sun with Neptune in Pisces (as mentioned on Sunday, Aug. 20th) on one side and Pluto in Capricorn on the other (as mentioned above). This aspect is at its strongest Sunday (Aug. 20th) and today (Aug. 21st).
Quincunxes are aspects that signal inner discomfort and the need for some adjustments. Both Quincunxes point towards the Sun in Leo — again, making the Sun the Focus of this aspect.
This means the adjustments in question must be made so we can be ourselves authentically, from the heart, even if it feels uncomfortable.
Ask yourself: What do I need to express that is dear to my heart — even when fear is present? Even when it feels uncomfortable to do so?
How can I be “courageously me” without dominating others? Could I permit myself to get in touch with my inner child — and joyfully be myself when appropriate?
Could I refrain from getting attached to things going “my way”? What if “pride” was able to take a back seat? What if I focused on gratitude, giving compliments, connecting to my inner joy, and being playful instead?
Monday before 4:31pm and after 7:22pm EDT, it is time to start taking action on our New Moon Intentions; if you set Intentions last week Wednesday evening, Thursday, or Friday early morning — after the New Moon became exact — today (Monday) will be the best time to take relevant actions.
If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?
Monday at 4:31pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 3 hours until 7:22pm EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others and collaborate in a completely authentic and self-expressed way. It’s time to create some joyful connections: What collaborations are calling out to you at this time? How might they bring you joy?
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 until the evening ahead of time.
Monday at 7:22pm EDT, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday 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 through subtraction — it encourages us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s 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”, and “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.
Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio — and it is currently transiting through Capricorn, making this a great time to transform our relationship to authority (inner and outer). It’s also an optimal time to dig deeper into any unfinished processes in connection with our Soul Purpose.
We are invited to transform what doesn’t feel emotionally authentic and make deeper alliances with people, places, or things that bring us closer to an empowered experience — one where we can feel passionate about what we are building out there in the world.
Ask yourself: What has been my biggest “SHOULD” since Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008? Am I ready to make choices that are not based on “shoulds”? What would that look like?
What would I like to build out there in the world and leave behind as a legacy? What feels emotionally authentic and empowering to me? To others? To society? What is realistic? What will time do?
Use this time to create deeper, more empowering emotional connections to your long-term goals, especially if you are feeling a disconnect with the current ones. Remember: Love expands us, others, and life. Fear paralyzes!

This week’s headline items: Uranus is still stationing (and exalted) all week; Mercury starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday, and the station intensifies from Saturday on; the New Moon in Leo becomes exact on Wednesday morning; Jupiter starts to slow down (station) on Thursday; and last but not least, the Sun in Leo is the Focal Point of a YOD-aspect on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Wednesday early morning (for 13.5 hours), and Saturday early morning (for 3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know that…
You still have until Monday, August 14th at midnight EDT to take advance of last week’s SPECIAL OFFER!
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:36am EDT. At 3:46am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 3 hours, until 6:36am EDT. If you are awake at this intuitive time, use it to remain open and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 6:36am EDT, the Moon enters fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them and how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun that you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?
Monday late morning,a harmonious Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact again at 10:55am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday (August 9th) on; it will remain strong until Friday evening (August 18th). This heightens compassion and understanding and helps heal some wounds from the past. We also get a chance to engage in a humorous way about our own flaws and insecurities.
Ask yourself: What if I decided to take a more innocent approach to my healing process? What if I celebrated my flaws, idiosyncrasies, and insecurities?
What if personal limitations were my main drivers for creative approaches and expressing myself with more care and compassion? How open can I be to being “courageously myself”, complete with all my sensitivities and insecurities?
We are more willing to be open and courageous, trusting that the other person has our best interest at heart; we also more easily see beauty in human weaknesses rather than fault –– it’s a strong time for seeing potential in one another. What potential do you see?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius? If so, you are more blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).

There are several planets of importance in this New Moon chart:
Uranus in Taurus & Mercuryin Virgo not only trine each other, but are also both exalted/stationing — and Jupiter in Taurus starts to slow down (station) only a day after the New Moon becomes exact — we will feel its archetypical energy more strongly until Sept. 22nd.
All three of these planets are preparing for their various Retrograde phases, bringing awareness to issues we must face or deal with during their various Retrograde phases.
The New Moon in Leo aligns with Venus (currently in her retrograde phase), trines Chiron in Aries, and squares a wide Jupiter/Uranus alignment in Taurus.
The exalted Mercury in Virgo also makes a Quincunx to Chiron in Aries and aligns with Mars (the ruler of Aries). More about all of that in a moment; first, let’s talk about the New Moon energies:
A retrograde Venus aligns with the New Moon in Leo; this highlights the power of our individual creativity; and makes our inner creative child and any physical children essential for the next 28 days.
Since Venus is in her Retrograde phase until Sept. 3rd, we are invited to look at what is (and what isn’t) in alignment with the expression of our light. We are invited to reclaim our hearts and reconnect to our inner joy and expressive, playful core.
Ask yourself: What needs to be re-evaluated in my life? What are my heart connections telling me?
Do I feel connected to joy? To a healthy sense of self-expression? Playful creativity? Where can I find the courage to step outside of my safety zone? What role does gratitude play in all of this?
We also covered the Venus Retrograde phase in our most recent Forecasting Forum, which is now available for purchase on my webinar page. Feel free to take a look to better understand your relationship, self-worth, and financial issues.

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 21-25 degrees ofLeo, Aquarius, Taurus, orScorpio?Or do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeoor Cancer?This New Moon may impact you more than others.
And last, but definitely not least: the New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; the best time for the intention-setting process is soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
Since there will be a Moon VoC phase starting at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we will need to wait several hours before setting our intentions during the best & most potent time. This month’s best and most potent time would be between7:14pm on August 16th and 5:38am on Aug. 18th.As always, all times are in EDT — the New York timezone.
If you live outside the EDT timezone and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and following me on Twitter. I will post reminders on both platforms on August 16th, 17th, and 18th to let you know the best time to set your intentions.

"Thank you for the awesome webinar, Sonja. I really enjoyed the full interactive experience. Having this real time exchange makes a huge difference to the learning and understanding of all these patterns and energies. I love the question and answer section, especially since we get some advance indication of what the topics will be. I have been an amateur astrologer for many years but I learned an awful lot very quickly in this setting. So much fun. See you next time!"
