March 7th, at 8:35am EST, Saturn changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking and objective Aquarius to creative, intuitive, and sensitive Pisces. It will journey there until May 25, 2025, then make a second pass through Pisces from Sept. 1st, 2025, until Feb. 14th, 2026.
Saturn feels a bit like a fish out of water in Pisces, but it invites us to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, one-consciousness, etc. This transit could also teach us that healthy boundaries and integrity can help us manifest our dreams.
During those periods, we are invited to look for practical applications for our dreams and spiritual or creative aspirations. We may well be firming up our intuitive connection to life — this transit is a time to focus on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to our idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams. Saturn in Pisces also reminds us that…

If you want to know how Saturn’s journey through Pisces will impact you personally over the next two to three years, feel free to get access to my webinar on this subjecthere. We took a look at how this transit impacts our own birth charts.
All this is especially true if you are a Capricorn or Pisces Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your dreams — and your spiritual sovereignty. As a Pisces, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious, and mature, in the next 2-3 years.

Please note: Daylight Saving Time begins in the US & Canada on Sunday very early morning.
There will only be two short Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday morning (for 37 minutes) and Friday early evening (for 29 minutes).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 6th:
Monday,the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgoall day, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services, and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday morning, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 8:42am EST. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday morning (March 4th); it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. We can become more aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones.
Ask yourself: What is my unique value? How could I tune into that gently and consistently? If I did tune in, is it at least possible that I could get more perfectly aligned with my values? My sense of worth?
What if the whole Universe was intelligent? What if that included every cell in my body? What knowledge would my body want to share with me?
As best as you can, watch out for those messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-18 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).
Late Monday morning, we may need to balance head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. It’s a great day for connecting with others and being of service. We may also want to talk to our pets or engage in more spiritual conversations that can also support our physical well-being. (Moon in Virgo opposes Mercury in Pisces, exact at 11:32am EST)

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
“Thank you Sonja for your expertise. I have peace of mind now, I understand the astrological forces at play and I appreciate your in depth explanation of the layers of aspects compounding things for me.” — Tatia B.
“Wanted to say how great the latest Forum was. I love it when you add the human touch (personal experiences) it shows that we are all learning, and can share on the journey and admitting that you are also on the path. It makes your webinars much more approachable than most other peoples.” — Steve M.

With her Readings, her coaching and her Soul-Based Astrology Courses she aims to empower and support people in fulfilling their life’s potential and aligning with Soul Purpose.
The next Full Moon will be “exact” on March 7th, at 7:40am EST in 16.5 degrees of Virgo — and by then, we are halfway through the Lunar cycle that started on February 20th.
Look at the New Moon Intentions you set around Feb. 20th or 21st, and ask yourself: How far have I come with those Intentions? If I’m not where I’d like to be with my goals, what new course might bring them closer?
We start to feel the build-up towards this Full Moon when the Moon enters Virgo on March 5th at 10:38pm EST.
This particular Full Moon has a planetary line-up in Pisces and Aries and is part of a T-Square with Mars in Gemini as the Focal Point. We will examine other Moon aspects, including the trine to Uranus in Taurus and the Quincunx to Venus in Aries. More about all of this in a moment…
We also have two planets (Saturn & Pluto) in 29º of their signs (in this Full Moon chart) — an exalted degree — bringing heightened energy (possibly a bit of an obsession) to our need to complete and accomplish something worthwhile.
Saturn changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces only 55 minutes after the Full Moon becomes exact! This changes our focus for the next 2.5 years! What needs your focus and commitment until 2025/26? How can you turn your dreams into reality?
We will talk in more detail about Saturn’s journey through Pisces — and how it all relates to your birth chart — in our Forecasting Forum on Monday, March 6th. This 2.5-year journey invites us to find a new connection with Source or One-Consciousness/Presence – collectively and individually.
If you want to know how Saturn will impact you personally, you can access/purchase the mp4-video recording of “Saturn’s Journey through Pisces”here.
Now, a Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; during these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment, and integration around two perspectives that seem opposites.
We often experience this through our interactions with others, and since these interactions are also the pathway to resolution, relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.
The balance we seek between Virgo and Pisces seems to be the fundamental challenge of our time: to integrate head and heart, science and intuition, discernment and compassion. This Full Moon shows each of us…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 14-19 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, this month’s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeo or Cancer(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact very early on Monday; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces early Thursday evening; the Mars-Neptune Square starts to build and get stronger on Saturday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for 1.5 hours), Friday late morning (for almost an hour), and Sunday late evening (for 20 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
Monday,the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
Monday, very early morning, at 3:06am EST, the first Quarter Moon in 8.5° ofGemini becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build when the Moon entered Gemini on Sunday late morning (Feb. 26th). The Moon, in chatty, versatile Gemini, makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate Pisces.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week (on Feb. 20th) saw a Super New Moon. “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is, therefore, a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-11 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Virgo, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Monday morning, we have the opportunity to connect to others and start a new adventure or simply do something that gets us excited about our personal goals. It is also an opportunity to see the bigger picture if we choose to — or shift our perspective by talking it through with someone else. (Moon in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries, exact at 9:08am EST)
Monday afternoon, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:30pm EST)
Monday late evening, we are invited to connect with others and share ourselves in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to us in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc. (Moon conjuncts Mars in Gemini, exact at 11:21pm EST)

This week’s headline items: the New Moon (SuperMoon) in Pisces becomes exact very early on Monday morning; soon after that, Venus changes signs from Pisces to Aries. A Jupiter/Chiron alignment begins to build from Thursday on, and last but not least, it’s time to take action on our New Moon intentions, starting Friday early afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for a little over an hour), Friday very early morning ( for a little over an hour), and Sunday morning (a little over an hour).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
Since the Jupiter/Chiron alignment in Aries starts intensifying this week, I wanted to remind everyone that you can watch my webinar about this powerful alignment to get a better sense of your own healing journey at this time.
Because I want as many of you as possible to do your own healing, I am offering a discount for this webinar until March 12th, as this alignment will intensify more and more over the next 21 days ==> Click here to get more info and to purchase.
PS: Current Star Members already have access to this webinar, please check your email (I sent this out on Feb. 6th).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 20th:
Monday,the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle and are therefore an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon is another SuperMoon (the third of four Super New Moons in a row). These occur when the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth (at the time of a New or Full Moon) and are more powerful. This means greater awareness of the issues connected to the particular New Moon energy in question.
Since this one occurs in Pisces, this Super New Moon invites us to connect with our inner divinity and ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.
This New Moon chart has four planets in Pisces — that includes the Sun, the Moon, Neptune, and Venus; Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is closely aligned with Venus. Venus and Pluto are both in 29º of their signs, which is an exalted degree!
The New Moon trines the South Node in Scorpio, making it easier for us to release traumas from the past and allow ourselves to feel whatever needs to be felt.
Mercury in Aquarius is the planet most aspected in this Super New Moon chart. It trines Mars in Gemini, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and squares Uranus in Taurus. All of this will bring an opportunity for greater healing, individually and collectively speaking. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Pisces energy:
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within that exists always and that we can tap into it.
Pisces is accepting and aware of both its temporal and its eternal nature; it understands that we are both singular in nature and also an inseparable part of the universe. It lovingly allows all because it knows separation is an illusion (or conditioning at best) — that separation only exists in the mind.
At its densest expression, however, Pisces feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world.
We get trapped in this lower vibration when we don’t go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we don’t rest enough, when we can’t trust ourselves — our inner processes and intuitive Selves.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-4 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or 29 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be between 2:06am on Feb. 20th and 11:06pm on Feb. 21st and then again from 12:14am until 2:06am on Feb. 22nd (New York-time)
Also, on Monday very early morning at 2:56am EST, Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, dreamy Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active Aries, where it will journey until March 16th.
Until March 16th, we are going to feel passionate about connecting with others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal).
With Venus in Aries, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don’t make it too easy for others to win you over.
If you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and “other parts of the house”. We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house and be active with others.
All this is especially true if you are a Taurus, Libra, or Aries Sun-sign or Rising sign. As an Aries, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive, and you will attract things to you. As a Taurus or Libra, you will feel more energized, passionate, and more than usually direct.
Monday late morning, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday evening (Feb. 18th); it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete minds and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, social media, or email interactions.
We are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits like “impatient self-talk” or the use of aggressive language (swear words, for example).
Here are a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family’s attitude towards communication? Toward speaking up for yourself? What if you tried a kinder approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 3 or 5 years old? What if you tried using a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-15 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 0-4 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 29 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio ? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be between 2:06am on Feb. 20th and 11:06pm on Feb. 21st and then again from 12:14am until 2:06am on Feb. 22nd (New York-time)

This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon becomes exact Monday late morning; Mercury squares the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio on Wednesday night; the Balsamic Moon phase begins in Capricorn late on Thursday evening; last but not least, the Sun changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 1.5 hours), Wednesday evening (4 hours), Friday late evening (a little over an hour), and Sunday evening (3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
This is a collaboration between the lovely Honey Harken and myself. We are uniting our forces of love in this 2-hour webinar to help you reconnect with your inner Venus-energy!
WHEN: Feb. 16th at 7:30pm EST/6:30pm CST/4:30pm PST
💫 “I’ve worked with Honey in and through some of the most vulnerable places in my heart and soul and I have never felt so held in love than I have with her. Her insight and ability to weave magic into the mundane is unrivaled” 💫 — Amber K.
💫 “I truly know the world is a better place with Sonja here, talking to us individually and in groups, broadcasting and connecting everyone with what’s important and with compassion.” 💫 — A. F.
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpiountil 8:31pm EST. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, 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.
Monday late morning, at 11:01am EST, the last Quarter Moon in 24°5’ of Scorpio becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from when the Moon entered Scorpio, Saturday early afternoon (Feb. 11th).While in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, the Moon makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius.
This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. We are better served during the last Quarter Moon by reviewing any projects begun around the last New Moon — in this case, that would be Jan. 21st — rather than launching new ones.
As best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus, or Leo? f so, you are more affected by this month’s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer since the Sun rules Leo, and the Moon rules Cancer.
Monday evening, at 6:52pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts a little over 1.5 hours until 8:31pm EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you long-term.
And, as always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time.
Monday at 8:31pm EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Aries, making this a great time to explore our individual passions and goals. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your own desires — and get excited about new paths and new projects.
Ask yourself: What might open up if I became more connected to “I am that I am”? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards myself and my personal passions and goals?
What might promote my independence and me walking my own path? What might do the same for growth around my sexuality and my human identity? What personal beliefs about my identity am I now ready to explore or go beyond?
Use this time to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of your personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

This week’s headline items: Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase Tuesday very early morning, and later that day, Uranus resumes its normal pace in the sky. Mercury aligns with Pluto in a late degree of Capricorn on Friday, a day before it changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for 7 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (a little over 2 hours), and Saturday late morning (almost 2 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 6th:
Monday,the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 4:14pm EST. 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 days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?
Monday, until 4:30pm EST, is your last chance to register for today’s FORECASTING FORUM. If you have been on the fence, now is the time to jump in ==> Click here and join us liveor get your mp4-video recording within 24 hours of the live event!
(Star Members are automatically registered and received an email yesterday, Sunday – Feb. 5th – in the afternoon, and today, Feb. 6th, an hour before the live event begins, with the link to join live). Not receiving your emails? Please check your junk mail or any other email folders — and if you still can’t find those emails about the Forecasting Forum, please email us immediately so we can fix that for you.
Monday morning, at 9:15am EST, we enter Moon Void of Course (VoC), which lasts for 7 hours until 4:14pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to focus on making realistic choices when connecting with others. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now and focusing on an intellectually realistic and sustainable future.
As always, with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday afternoon,an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 1:26pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday late evening (Feb. 4th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.
Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, or someone else’s words allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-26 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio, or Taurus? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday late afternoon, at 4:14pm EST,the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning (Feb. 9th), turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services, and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
“Thank you Sonja 🙏 and everyone ~ kind blessings ✨” — Nuku
“Thanks, I will listen to the Full Moon video again, and practice what I learned today and integrate where things fall House-wise.” — April M.
Sonja’s passion is for connecting with people and helping them transform their lives. This led her to train as a life coach, in addition to her lifelong study of Astrology. 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.
On Feb. 5th at 1:29pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in 16.5 degrees of Leo — and this is when this month’s Full Moon becomes exact. We start to feel this Full Moon build from the moment the Moon enters Leo on Saturday early morning (Feb. 4th). Relationships of all kinds are highlighted.
All Full Moons offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light; they also guide us away from polarization and division toward balance and integration. Ask yourself: How far have I come since setting Intentions back on Jan. 21st or 22nd, after the New Moon became exact? What am I aware of at this time?
This current Full Moon makes a Square to Uranusin Taurus, creating a T-Square with Uranus as the Focal Point; and it also squares the Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 8th, 2022 in Taurus-Scorpio.
In this Full Moon chart, we also have an opportune planetary connection to Marsin Gemini (the planet of assertion and action), which encourages us to express and share our heart and passions.
As well as a harmonious connection to Chiron, the Wounded Healer. I will go into all those in detail in a moment… let’s first talk about the Leo-Aquarius polarity:
Aquarius, along with its co-rulers Saturn and Uranus, deals with the idea of being a responsible and unique human, both on an individual level and as a member of the “human family”.
Aquarius represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian vision is one of interconnected equality and belonging — paradoxically, we are reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity. Contradictions are not unfamiliar to the Aquarian mind.
Leo, on the other hand, is all about our self-expression, creativity, and ability to connect to a courageous, innocent heart and inner joy.
This Full Moon is our chance to make a more conscious effort to embrace, integrate, and explore Leo’s lighter/higher vibrations (as mentioned above). Leo is an optimistic and extroverted sign that represents our capacity to love — and our willpower. It signifies the quest to live from our center, our authentic core, our truth — with joy in our hearts.
This Full Moon reminds us that everyone is unique in their own way and needs to honor themselves as that first before we can make a difference in the world, small or large — and when we join together from that authentic place, we can empower each other, and our strengths grow exponentially.
Ask yourself: How could I best honor both my individual self-expression and my interconnectedness with the world? What does true belonging look like to me? Do I already belong to myself? Am I capable of standing in my true self-expression when connecting with others?
How am I adding my authentic voice (in small ways and large)? What is asking for a deeper connection within me? Do I have the courage to stand alone if needs be? Do I have the courage to be me, even when it feels uncomfortable?
“True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.“ — Brené Brown
As with all Full Moons, there’s a shadow side to be discussed — the shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace.
Aquarius’s Shadow side might show up as…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 14-19 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

This week’s headline items: Uranus is still stationing and therefore exalted all week; the Full Moon in 16.5° of Leo becomes exact on Sunday afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), Wednesday morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for 2.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 30th:
Monday,the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 3:35am EST. 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.
Sunday night/Monday very early morning, at 12:52am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC) that will last a little over 2.5 hours, until 3:35am EST. 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, don’t start anything new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow as best as you can. You may also want to plan Sunday night until Monday very early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 3:35am EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon.For the next two 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…
Also: last but not least, Uranus (the planet associated with innovations and breakthroughs) is still stationing all week. When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced, sometimes causing discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy picks up speed again around Feb. 7th (when the station phase has ended).
Definitely expect the unexpected. Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures and moving towards a new future that serves others as well as ourselves. Its keyword is “Freedom”: this aspect provides an opportunity to discover how free we actually feel. So… how free do you feel?
Our intuition is very strong and delivers sudden insights and ideas at this time, especially around what needs to change in our lives.
Are you fully expressing your individuality in your financial partnerships and intimate relationships? Are you connecting to a larger vision? Are you finding ways to reinvent yourself (or at least your pocketbook)? Is anything holding you back? What are you more aware of in connection with your unique visions, values, and financial freedoms?
As best as you can during this time, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to messages from the Universe.

This week’s headline items: Uranus will be stationing and exalted all week; Mercury and Mars both end their Station phases at the beginning of this week, both no longer retrograde. Beginning Wednesday evening, it’s time to start taking actions on our New Moon Intentions; on Thursday late evening, Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces; and on Saturday late morning, the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 7 hours), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), and Friday late afternoon (for a little over 2.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

“Thanks Sonja ~ great webinar as always, cheers” — Deb E.
“Sonja, this was such a wonderful session. Happy New Year everyone 🌸” — Rachel B.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 23rd:
Monday,the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 12:36pm EST. 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 and 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 before 5:19am EST and after 12:36pm until 3:53pm EST is our last chance to set New Moon Intentions for this month during the most potent time — if you haven’t already done so on Saturday or Sunday.
If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon
Monday early morning, at 5:19am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC) that will last a little over 7 hours, until 12:36pm EST. Use this intuitive time to connect with others, and share your vision for the future. Could you permit yourself to get in touch with your unique spark — and appreciate your inner genius?
As always, with a Moon VoC, don’t start anything new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow as best as you can. You may also want to plan Monday early morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.
Monday early afternoon, at 12:36pm EST,the Moon moves into creative, sensitivePisces, where it will journey Wednesday early afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that 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 next couple of days.
Neptune is the ruler of Pisces — and it is currently in its own sign, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our inner spiritual connection to our “higher Self”, “Source”, or “God/Goddess”.
It’s also a great time to allow “what is” as it is and to go with the flow, following our intuitive voice as much as possible. We are being asked to tap into the “feminine” energies within ourselves, so we can start to vibrate on a universal frequency.
Ask yourself: Is my “Higher Self” asking for more introverted/inner-love time? If I tune in with my intuitive voice, what am I receiving? Sensing?
Where in my life have I become too disconnected from life? Love? God/Goddess? What is my connection to the spiritual realm? What about the “heart realm”? How could nature and/or animals teach me about those realms?
Do I need more downtime? More resting-time? More compassion? How might being kind to myself and trusting the process of Life create a more loving connection with the universe?
Also on Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky (now moving direct in Capricorn), ending its station. Communication and transportation are now back to “normal” as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury Retrograde phase (Dec. 29th – Jan. 18th) can now be reviewed.
Also, from today, January 23rd until April 21st, all planets will be in forward motion. This indicates an accelerated time of manifestation for most of us — especially connected to new projects or ideas.
Ask yourself: What in my life is asking for accelerated progress? What could I do if I had the support of the Universe?

This New Moon is another SuperMoon (the second of four Super New Moons in a row). These occur when the Moon becomes either Full or New at its closest distance to the Earth and are more powerful. They generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic forces and therefore increased effects on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies, leading to significant shifts in consciousness.
Since this one occurs in Aquarius, this Super New Moon invites us to go out there and connect with “our people”– with a tribe that resonates, a cause that feels aligned with our values and our need for stability and comfort, a connection that serves a larger vision for our financial future and the future of our planet etc.
We have three exalted planets in this Super New Moon chart:
Mercury (the planet of communication & how we process information)
Mars (the planet of passion & going after our goals)
Uranus (the planet of breakthroughs and innovation)
Mars in Gemini & Mercury in Capricorn are no longer in their Retrograde phases at the time of the New Moon, but they are still moving slower than usual, trying to catch up to their regular speed after coming to a halt on Jan. 12th and 18th. More about that in a little bit…
Uranus is at its most exalted, as it is coming to a halt only 26 hours after the New Moon becomes exact, ending its 5-months Retrograde phase in 15º of Taurus. More about this below as well…
With all this, we are being asked to be extra-mindful about connecting to our body, our finances, and the planet in an innovative and unique way; we are also being asked to be extra mindful about how we share and communicate, and what our inner dialog reveals about ourselves and where we are at.
The good news: from January 23rd to April 21st, all planets will be in forward motion. This indicates an accelerated time of manifestation for most of us — especially connected to new projects or ideas.
Ask yourself: What in my life is asking for accelerated progress? What could I do if I had the support of the Universe?
Let’s first talk a little bit about Aquarius and what this energy represents before jumping into the aspects of this Super New Moon chart:
The highest vibration of Aquarius represents…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-4 degrees of Aquarius,Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, or 29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra?If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Finally, let’s talk “New Moon Intentions” 🙂 The New Moon is the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and not during a Moon void of course phase.
That means that this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 3:53pm on Jan. 21st and 5:19am on Jan. 23rd, and then again, from 12:36pm until 3:53pm, also on Jan. 23rd -(New York Time/US Eastern Time)
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and following me on Twitter. I will post reminders to let you know when it is time to set your New Moon intentions 😉

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s and Uranus’ stations intensify on Monday; on Wednesday morning, Mercury comes to a halt in Capricorn (as its retrograde ends) while also beginning its post-Shadow phase; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Wednesday late morning; the Sun changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Friday very early morning; the New Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Saturday afternoon; and on Sunday early evening, Uranus comes to a halt, ending its 5-months Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday morning (for a little over 3 hours), Thursday early morning (for 9 hours), and Saturday late morning (for a little over 2.5 hours).

Monday, January 16th:
Monday,the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early afternoon.
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. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. 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, stay present to the fluctuations of your feelings, whether they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace the whole 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, Mercury’s Station phase intensifies, as Mercury is preparing to come to a halt on Wednesday morning — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase (more on Wednesday…). During this intensified Station phase (which lasts until Jan. 21st in 8°of Capricorn), we feel Mercury’s energies even more strongly.
Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices, self-mastery, long-term goals, or public achievements. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the Shadow phase that follows).
For the next 5 days, we need to be even more patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with long-term goals, communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. Give yourself and others a lot of space… as best as you can!
This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.
We might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready or travel somewhere — especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive. Going with the flow is recommended at this time (for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, click here).
Here are some questions you could ask over the next 5 days: Am I feeling mentally scattered? Nervous? Am I overthinking? Am I trying to be in constant mental movement or stimulation? What information is truly needed right now? Am I trying to jump the gun on something?
What would it be like to connect and communicate only what is essential? What will get me 1% closer to that right here and now?
Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 6-10 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra.
Lastly, also on Monday, the Uranus Station intensifiesuntil Jan 28th. It will come to a complete halt on Sunday (Jan. 22nd) in almost 15 degrees of Taurus, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase (more about that on Sunday…).
What we talked about on Jan. 8th still applies: when an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced, sometimes causing discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy picks up speed again around Feb. 7th (when the station phase has ended).
Definitely expect the unexpected. Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures and moving towards a new future — one that serves others as well as ourselves. Its keyword is “Freedom”: this aspect provides an opportunity to discover how free we actually feel. So… how free do you feel?
As best as you can for the next 3 weeks, pull whatever is “in your face” even closer and take a good long look at it: our intuition will be very strong and deliver sudden insights and ideas, especially around what needs to change in our lives.
Are you expressing your individuality to the fullest in your financial partnerships and intimate relationships? Are you connecting to a larger vision? Are you finding ways to reinvent yourself (or at least your pocketbook)? Is anything holding you back? What are you more aware of in connection with your unique visions, values, and financial freedoms?
Uranus also rules electronics, technology, and the internet — so don’t be surprised by interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are likewise ruled by Uranus, so these will also move more to the forefront of our awareness.
As best as you can during this aspect, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to messages from the Universe
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-17 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you felt this Station phase quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

This week’s headline items: Uranus and Mars still station (and are thus exalted) all week; Mars’ Station intensifies on Wednesday — preparing to end its 2.5-month Retrograde phase late on Thursday afternoon and entering its post-Shadow phase. Mercury slows down (stations) again on Friday as it prepares to end its 3-week Retrograde phase; the last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Saturday late evening.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for almost 13.5 hours), Thursday early evening (for almost 4 hours), and Sunday very early morning (for almost 3.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 9th:
Monday,the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. 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 tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy. 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 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/Mars aspect becomes exact at 10:22am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday night (Jan. 6th); it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. We tend to feel passionate, highly creative, and energized at this time, with lots of vitality and warmth to share.
We are able to actively bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit. That’s not surprising, considering we radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm — we find it easy during this time to get along with both sexes.
There is also a certain amount of flow when it comes to creativity and athletic abilities: If you knew you could accomplish something now with ease, what would you pick?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra? 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 Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, and Mars rules Aries)
Monday evening, at 8:52pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 13.5 hours until 10:15am EST (Tuesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on making realistic choices when connecting with others. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now and focusing on an intellectually realistic and sustainable future.
Also, be your most authentic, joyful Self when connecting with like-minded people. And, as always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening until Thursday late morning ahead of time.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 2nd:
Monday is quite a day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in peaceful, steady Taurus until 9:44pm EST. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain.
What is our favorite thing for the rest of the day? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday, very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact for the second time within the last 9 days — at 1:44am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Dec. 22nd on; it will remain strong until early Wednesday morning (Jan. 4th) — an unusually long time due to Mercury’s Staton/Retrograde phase.
This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.
Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, or someone else’s words allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-25 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio, or Taurus? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday late morning, a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Dec. 30th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday (Jan. 5th). This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within. We might feel less confident about who we are and have a hard time projecting a social “front”. Our conditioning and wounded sense of Self may be out of harmony with each other.
As best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or “less than”. It is perfectly ok to be yourself and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 9-15 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, or Libra? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).
Monday at 5:16pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts until 9:44pm EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other around earthly issues and 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 evening ahead of time
Monday at 9:09pm EST, Venus changes signs from productive, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-oriented, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Jan. 26th. This requires that we provide more freedom in our relationships — we want to improve them and break away from what feels old or stale.
We want our intellectual qualities to be admired; we also want to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — so friendships and networking will be favored for the next 3.5 weeks. We may also consider unusual financial investments. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and arts group activities.
Venus in Aquarius will also be in a mutual reception with Uranus in Taurus for the next 3.5 weeks. This means they are in each other’s signs and support each other’s agenda. This provides an opportunity to bring a common vision and a more humane approach to our interactions and financial future.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? If so, this placement will bring extra love and beauty into your life. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you may feel the need for freedom or change in your relationships more strongly.
And last but not least, Monday at 9:48pm EST, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Thursday morning (Jan. 5th). For the next two 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 🙂

On Jan. 6th, at 6:08pm EST,the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 16.5 degrees of Cancer. The entrance of the Moon into Cancer on Jan. 5th begins the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business relationships. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon video.
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart— Mercury and Mars are both Retrograde, although Mars is also exalted, as it will come to a halt only 6 days after the Full Moon becomes exact, ending its 2.5 months Retrograde phase that began on Oct. 30th!
Uranus will become more exalted two days after the Full Moon becomes exact, preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase (on Jan. 22nd). However, at the time of the Full Moon, Uranus will support the integration of the Full Moon polarity because it is sextiling the Moon in Cancer and trining the Mercury-Sun alignment in Capricorn.
The Moon in Cancer supports the integration of the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio, andtrines Neptune in Pisces. And Mars in Gemini trines Venus in Aquarius! Yay! Lots of harmonious aspects.
The most challenging aspect in this Full Moon chart is a T-Square — with Chiron in Aries as the Focal Point… making Libra the Solution of this T-Square. All of the above-mentioned play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics in regards to all of these planets in a moment.
But first, let’s talk about this month’s Full Moon: This Lunation shows us how well we are doing with self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also where we are in connection to greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.
Ask yourself: What’s my relationship to self-care and where do I feel most “at home”? What’s my understanding of my emotional needs? How might an emotional connection to myself and loved ones be of benefit to me? How might it shift my priorities?
Let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-19 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Again, in our FIRST Forecasting Forum of the year on Friday, Jan. 6th at 5pm EST, we’ll be taking a look at all the planetary and Nodal changes of 2023!
For example, we will investigate what shifts Saturn in Pisces will bring over the next 2.5 years, and what Pluto in Aquarius will show us from late March – mid June, as it gives us a preview of what’s to come in 2024 and beyond. How will the Moon’s Nodal shift in July into Aries-Libra impact our collective Soul’s Journey, not to mention Pluto’s involvement in that collective journey…

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Station phase intensifies on Tuesday and ends on Sunday; it’s time to take action on our New Moon intentions from Tuesday early afternoon on; the third US Pluto Return of the year becomes exact on Wednesday; Mercury comes to a halt and starts its 3-week Retrograde phase in Capricorn, on Thursday early morning; the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday evening; and Mars starts to slow down again (stationing) on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for a little over 13 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for a little over 4 hours), and Saturday morning (for almost 4.5 hours).

Monday,the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday very early morning (Dec. 27th). 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 and 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 very early morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need to connect with like-minded people while remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others and in ourselves (this in turn, informs our self-worth); as far as possible, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (the Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 2:35am EST)
Monday afternoon, at 1:19pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last a little over 13 hours, until 2:34am EST(Tuesday every early morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on a long-term vision for your communities that involves a mature and realistic approach. As best as you can, take your time, and do your best to come from a place of integrity.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early afternoon until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.

This week’s headline items: The Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday late evening; Jupiter re-enters Aries late Tuesday late morning; Wednesday late afternoon, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere; on Thursday, Neptune’s station ends, and Mercury starts to slow down, beginning its Station phase as it prepares to come to a halt and go retrograde next week; on Friday early morning, Chiron comes to a halt (ending its 5-month Retrograde phase), and a SuperMoon and New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for 4.5 hours); Thursday afternoon (for 11.5 hours), and Saturday late evening (for 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I would like to…

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day; it will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. 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. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday late morning, a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:23am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Dec. 21st). This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.
We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It’s ok.
If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated — probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.
The more we resist or suppress our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-15 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, or Libra? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).
Monday afternoon, a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:37pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday afternoon (Dec. 18th); it will remain strong untilTuesday afternoon. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.
This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we engage with. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.
When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can. Ask yourself: How mature and realistic could I allow myself to be?
This combo could also be related to a mental crisis, so as best as you can, take extra care of your mental well-being and focus on long-term goals that support your “mind-body” well-being.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Capricorn or Gemini? 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 Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars of Aries).
Monday early evening, an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 5:39pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Tuesday evening (Dec. 13th) on; it will remain strong untilnext week Tuesday (Dec. 27th) — an unusually long time due to Chiron’s Station phase. This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desires, so we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.
This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take action toward healing our physical, sexual, and spiritual wounds. As best as you can, allow yourself and others to be human while on your path to wholeness and a larger, more purposeful life. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us; we have to make them happen.
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if I took a curious approach toward my flaws, quirks, and insecurities? How might this support my healing process? Someone else’s?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries (Mars rules Aries).
Monday late evening, around 9:30pm EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 13° of Scorpio. This lasts until Friday early morning when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that later this week… however, feel free to already watch my New Moon video here)
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 tension. 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, let’s talk about the New Moon:
New Moons are good times to reflect on our lives and set new intentions. This is an excellent time to go within and plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days and beyond.
Given it takes place less than 48 hours after the Winter Solstice, this New Moon is a significant time to set Intentions, not just for the next 28 days but also for this Winter season. This is because the Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season.
This New Moon is also a SuperMoon. These occur when the Moon becomes either Full or New at its closest distance to the Earth and are more powerful. They generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic forces and therefore increased effects on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies, leading to significant shifts in consciousness.
Since it occurs in Capricorn, this Super New Moon directs us to investigate our relationship with authority, not just “authority” in the external sense, but also our “inner authority”. The next section of this forecast will dig into this in more detail — you may also want to watch my New Moon video 🙂
The most prominent themes of this Super New Moon are:
Chiron (the wounded Healer) stations direct less than an hour before the New Moon becomes exact, therefore highly exalted! And making several aspects to other planets in this New Moon chart, bringing our attention to our healing processes.
The New Moon makes a Square to Jupiter, which moves back into Aries on Dec. 20th, asking us to stretch and grow.
Mercury is also exalted in this New Moon chart (in its pre-Shadow phase and stationing) and making several noteworthy aspects, bringing our attention to being responsible and realistic with our words and thoughts. Practicing effective, authentic, mature, and empowering communication is helpful.
And last but not least, there is a Venus-Uranus Trine that brings newness into our relationships — and possibly also into our financial future.
The highest vibration of Capricorn is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, setting realistic goals and healthy boundaries. So the next 28 days are perfect for working on these areas.
This is the last New Moon of 2022, and since Capricorn represents the quest for self-mastery on the physical plane, some helpful questions you can ask yourself include…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 0-4 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra, or 29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for the month’s Moon cycle — the perfect time is after the New Moon becomes exact (but not during a Moon void of course).
So this month, there are two best and most potent times to set intentions — the first would be any time between 5:17am on Friday, Dec. 23rd, and 10:11pm on Saturday late evening, Dec. 24th — and the second would be between 2:14am and 5:17am on Sunday morning (Dec. 25th) (EST/New York time).
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions 😉
