Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, Oct. 14th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day; it will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.

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 an excellent 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.

Monday early morning, a challenging Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:15am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (Oct. 8th) on; it will last until Sunday morning (Oct. 20th). This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.

This aspect might stir up impatience and frustration when things don’t line up perfectly right away, particularly around family or home.

We may feel compelled by an instinctual desire to “do something”, but it’s important to maintain a balanced approach and strive for fair exchanges. Otherwise, our impulsive actions could lead to unnecessary arguments or leave us feeling stuck and unproductive.

Our reactions may be defensive or competitive, and we may not be willing to compromise or negotiate. Focus on nurturing your emotional well-being, and be mindful of your energy levels, being sure to get plenty of rest.

Ask yourself: Am I exhausting myself? What is my body telling me? If it had its own voice, what might it say it needs right now? Could I let go of any fearful or impulsive actions and focus instead on my emotional well-being as I interact with others?

On the subject of Mars, just a gentle reminder: The Early Bird Special for this week’s Forecasting Forum ends TODAY at midnight EDT! We will be discussing the current and upcoming Mars transits in relation to your birth chart.

==> Register to join us live on Wednesday at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT/10pm London time, or register to receive the mp4-video presentation!

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-25° of Libra, Cancer, Aries, or Capricorn? 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 or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries) 

Monday evening, a Venus/Uranus opposition becomes exact at 6:22pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build Saturday morning (Oct. 12th); it will last until Thursday morning (Oct. 17th). This opposition calls us to balance “togetherness” with “having our space”.

We may find that we disagree with others. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (and react) impulsively towards others — or in connection with our finances.

Try your best not to put all your money on one horse just because it has a funny name or elope with a random hottie.

We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible. Do not get a facelift or any kind of beauty treatment that has the potential to go horribly wrong. I’m not kidding.

If there were a way to fully express our individuality in our relationships without needing to pull or push away… what might that way be?

Could you shake things up a little without being oppositional or offensive? Where might the balance between “togetherness” and “having my space” lie?

Where is the point of difference between your values and those of other people? If “objectivity’ had a role in all of this, what might that role be?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? 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 Aquarius, given that Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius.

Going Deeper, Trusting, and Connecting from the Heart 

This week’s headline items: Jupiter and Pluto’s Station phases will be intensified all week, and Eclipse Season likewise continues all week. Jupiter comes to a halt in Gemini on Wednesday early morning; Mars squares April 8th’s Solar Eclipse degree on Wednesday evening; the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Pluto comes to a halt in Capricorn on Friday evening; on Sunday, we have a big day astrologically speaking: Mercury will square Pluto right before changing signs from Libra to Scorpio, and Mars will be the Focal Point of a T-Square involving the Sun in Libra and Chiron in Aries.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday very early morning (for almost 4 hours), Friday late morning (for 38 minutes), and Sunday late morning (for nearly 6 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder:

Our next Forecasting Forum is coming up next Wednesday, Oct. 16th, at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT/10pm London time, titled: “Mars – Trouble or Action?” We will investigate Mars’ upcoming transits and pre-Shadow phase in Cancer/Leo ==> Register for this month only here

Mars is associated with the internal masculine archetype — things like self-assertion, physical energy, taking action, and going after what we desire. It rules our instinctual nature and thus connects us to aggression, anger, survival, and sexual desire. The Red Planet can also show us where we are prone to being impulsive, rash, impatient, and violent.

Since 2019, Mars has been linked to the Wounded Healer, focusing on healing collective and individual masculine wounds. We’re encouraged to heal ancestral trauma related to masculinity and establish a more balanced, compassionate connection.

To learn more about this humbling process and how the upcoming Mars transits will impact you…

*************

We will also talk about Mars in our next SoulivityToday Podcast/Radio Show: “Hot Astrology with Sonja”  this coming Friday, Oct. 11th at 8am ==> Feel free to join Brian and me for a lovely conversation about this masculine energy.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, Oct. 7th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Wednesday 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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 than issue or obey orders.

Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page. Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.

Monday late evening, we are invited to stretch and grow. Our commitment to spiritual self-mastery and being in the present moment calls us to adjust to the outer world.

Ask yourself: What might be a creative way to stay connected to others and committed to connecting to my intuitive knowing? (Moon in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces, exact at 10:50pm EDT)

We will also start to feel a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect that will be exact tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6:22am EDT. This aspect started to build last Thursday night (Oct. 3rd/4th); it will remain strong until this Saturday morning (Oct. 12th).

We tend to feel passionate, highly creative, and energized now, with lots of vitality and warmth to share.

We can actively bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit. That’s not surprising, considering we radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm — we find it easy to get along with both sexes.

This combo gives us a feeling of flow around intimate connections with others and healing past issues. Going deeper, trusting, and connecting from the heart comes easier now.

Ask yourself: If I knew I could now more comfortably address something from the past, what would I address? Are there any relationships I want to investigate?

There is also a certain amount of flow regarding creativity and athletic abilities, so ask: If I knew I could accomplish something now with ease, what would I pick?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Scorpio, Cancer, or Pisces? 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)

Practice Listening to Others & Yourself 

This week’s headline items: Jupiter and Pluto both remain exalted all week long. We are at the height of Eclipse Season — on Monday afternoon, we enter the 48-hour period before Wednesday afternoon’s Solar Eclipse, and that evening, Mercury moves over the Solar Eclipse degree, activating the Eclipse energy two days before the actual event — and Friday afternoon, we can finally start to set our Solar Eclipse intentions. Very early on Saturday, Mars enters its pre-Shadow phase, and Pluto’s Station phase intensifies — and Jupiter’s Station phase does likewise, only a day later, on Sunday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for 41 minutes), Friday morning (for 42 minutes), and Sunday evening (for 42 minutes).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I just wanted you to know that…

It’s not too late to get the scoop on the upcoming Solar Eclipse. I have three things I can offer you:

1. My SoulivityToday Podcast/Radio show, where we briefly looked at Brian’s chart in relationship to the Eclipse
2. My Solar Eclipse video, where I share in great detail what it’s all about, including lots of Coaching questions that can support you with this energy over the next 5.5 months
3. My latest webinar: “Eclipses – Our Soul’s Journey Continues”, where I go into more detail about how both Eclipses impact each of us personally, looking at several Astrology charts and giving you an in-depth experience. And this 111-minute webinar is also currently available at a discount!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, Sept. 30th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day;it will journey there until Tuesday evening, 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 early evening, a Sun/Mercury alignment in almost 8 degrees of Libra becomes exact at 5:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (Sept. 27th) on; it will remain strong until Friday morning (Oct. 4th). This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life.

Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.

Ask yourself: might it serve me to practice listening to others and myself? What might a practice like this look like? What if I acted as if I was being 100% heard by others? What if I returned the favor?

Given that this alignment takes place in Libra, we may feel particularly collaborative, polite, justice-driven — and perhaps a bit conflict-averse — do your best to avoid wanting everyone’s approval and perfect harmony.

We want an active role in communications — it’s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now.

What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?

Our opinions are strong and our thinking independent — and we’re proud of both — so our egos may get bruised if we don’t feel “heard”. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion, and that’s okay.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini, or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)

Monday from 2:49pm EDT on: 48 hours before and after an Eclipse, the energy downloads are at their most potent, so be kind to yourself for the next four days, and stay as grounded as possible, no matter what you experience.

Remember: this is an opportunity to get to the next level of your evolution! Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse if you haven’t seen it yet.

Monday around 6pm EDT, Mercury reaches 10 degrees and 04 minutes of Libra and aligns with the degree of Wednesday’s Solar Eclipse.

This might trigger some conversations connected to someone else in our lives; any such conversations must be addressed over the next 5.5 months.

Look out for messages, information, or signs related to your one-on-one relationships or collaborations, and seek ways to achieve more balance.

The key here is to heighten awareness of two things:

First, how can you be open to receiving those messages and signs around your Soul’s journey and whatever is next for you?

Second: What messages are you receiving today might help you better understand your one-on-one relationships or interactions with others? What needs to be released or redefined?

Unorthodox Approaches To Life’s Challenges 

This week’s headline items: Eclipse Season is ongoing; a powerful Super Full Moon that forms the first of two Eclipses will be exact late Tuesday evening; there will be lots of planetary action on Saturday and Sunday; the Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Sunday morning — marking the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere — and Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio later that day.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 4.5 hours), Wednesday early morning (for 22 minutes), Friday early morning (for 24 minutes) and Sunday morning (for 10 minutes).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Our next Forecasting Forum is coming up this Wednesday, Sept. 18th, at 1pm EDT/6pm London — we will cover the upcoming Solar Eclipse in 10º of Libra.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, Sept. 16th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 5:39am EDT. 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.

Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Monday very early morning at 1:04am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 4.5 hours, until 5:39am EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions.

You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need to connect with like-minded people and remain objective; on the other hand, a desire 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); again, 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, 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 early morning at 5:39am EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.

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 an excellent 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 all that is, as it is, and 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 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?

This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the very powerful Super Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (exact late Tuesday evening). Feel free to watch my Member’s Lunar Eclipse video or read some or all of my Lunar Eclipse article on the subject here.

Apropos Lunar Eclipse, just a gentle reminder: The Early Bird Special for this week’s Forecasting Forum ends TODAY at midnight EDT! We will be discussing the Eclipses, in relationship to your own birth chart.

==> Register to join us live on Wednesday at 1pm EDT/6pm London time, or register to receive the mp4-video presentation!

Monday early evening, a Venus/Chiron opposition becomes exact at 5:29pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday morning (Sept. 14th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday early morning (Sept.19th).

This opposition asks us to create a balance between the healing process of our masculine energies and our various one-on-one relationships.

We may feel insecure around others at this time; we must first heal our own deep fears of not being “good enough”, learn to love ourselves — and then see how we can meet our partners halfway.

As best as you can, bring the gift of compassion, understanding, and forgiveness to your own insecurities or feelings of unworthiness — then gift that to others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-26 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer, 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 Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).
