Conservation & Moderation

This week’s headline items: The Balsamic Moon phase begins Monday evening; Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase on Wednesday early afternoon and Neptune resumes its normal pace that same day. On Thursday, Chiron’s Station intensifies; the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact Friday late evening; early Sunday, Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for almost 8.5 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 9.5 hours) and Saturday early afternoon (for a little over 8 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me make a quick announcement:

For those of you who have not yet had a chance to watch the Intro to Soul-Based Astrology, now is a great time to do so! It is available for FREE right now. In this 60 minute class, I share about Soul-Based Astrology, and how it is different from other kinds of Astrology, what you can learn from it — and also what a “Moon void of course” is, what “Houses” are, and more!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 5th:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus. It will journey there until 9:24pm EDT. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.

What is our favorite thing for the rest of today? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉

Monday at 12:57pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 8.5 hours, until 9:24pm EDT.  Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early afternoon until the late evening ahead of time.

Monday afternoon, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:14pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Saturday (July 3rd) on; and it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening (July 7th). We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones 😉

Ask yourself: What is my uniqueness? How could I express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-16 degrees of Cancer, Taurus, Pisces or Virgo? 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)

Also on Monday, around 6:40pm EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins as the Moon reaches 29 degrees of Taurus. This lasts until Friday late evening, when the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact (more on that on Friday… however, feel free to watch my video on the subject 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 tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?

Monday at 9:24pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. For the next two-and-a-half 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…

Catch Your Breath — Forecast for June 28th – July 4th

This week’s headline items: Mercury resumes its normal pace (ending its station) on Monday; the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday late afternoon; on Friday, Chiron starts to slow down (station), preparing to go retrograde.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday until 1:51pm EDT, Wednesday early afternoon (for a little over 7.5 hours) and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 8 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me make a quick announcement:

If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week… and still would like to learn how to align yourself with the current Neptune Station & Retrograde phases in Pisces, as well as the upcoming Chiron Station & Retrograde phases in Aries… feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about “Neptune & Chiron Station-Retrograde phases June-July 2021″ — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 28th:

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC until 1:51pm EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.

It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.

In the early evening, a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 5:31pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early evening on, it will remain strong until Tuesday early evening. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.

This aspect marks a fork in the road: Will we step onto a path of creative and joyful self-expression? Or will we take the path that leads to a larger understanding of intuition and inner guidance, and of our perspectives and attitudes concerning our interconnectivity with everything around us?

Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these issues in our life. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of Leo 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 Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Also, Monday,  Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. Communication and transportation is now back to “normal” as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury Retrograde phase (May 29th – June 22nd) can now be reviewed. What did you discover about your inner dialogue — especially when it comes to…

Learning to Let Go of Regrets

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Station phase intensifies on Monday and on Tuesday early evening, it comes to a halt, ending its 3-week Retrograde phase and beginning its post-Shadow phase. The Full Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Neptune comes to a halt (starting its 5-month Retrograde phase) on Friday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Saturday night/Sunday very early morning; and Jupiter’s Station ends on Sunday.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 6 hours), Wednesday late evening (for 11 hours), Saturday morning (for almost 1.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for almost 23 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me mention one more time:

If you missed last week’s email about Episode Two of my new Interview Series “How to Deal with Uncertainty & Change“, feel free to watch it here. As we move through this time of heightened change and unpredictability, I will be interviewing people I love and respect, chatting about the daily routines and practices that have provided them the greatest level of support over these past 15 months (or longer). In this episode we focus on Self-love and Emotional Acceptance.

Would you like to know how to support yourself in the best way possible on a physical, emotional, and mental level, now and into the future? Click here to watch this intimate chat with the lovely Liz Goulder, a Life Coach & Intuitive Guide.

Or click here to register, for this month only. (non-Members also get access to this month’s Super Full Moon video when they register).

To ask a question in advance; please email me by June 24th,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 21st:

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday 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. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.

Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Monday late morning, a harmonious Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 9:57am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (June 18th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday late evening (June 23rd). This aspect makes for a very creative and beautiful time; music, art, the movies and the theatre are in high demand. Spiritual endeavors are easily shared with others.

We might not have the best boundaries in place in our relationships, socializing, or with money… but we sure as hell know how to enjoy ourselves. We connect to others in a compassionate, sweet, loving way; we are more likely to feel romantic.

Our intuition and instincts are strongly supported here too. It becomes easier to trust others and open up to them; we give ourselves permission to receive love and emotional support. As best as you can, let all feelings flow.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of Cancer, Pisces or Scorpio? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).

Also on Monday, Mercury’s Station phase intensifies until June 24th, as Mercury is preparing to come to halt Tuesday evening — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase (more on that tomorrow…). During this intensified Station phase, we feel Mercury’s energies even more strongly.

For the next 3 days, we need to be even more patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. As best as you can, give yourself and others a lot of space!

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 definitely 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 3 days: Am I feeling mentally scattered? Nervous? Am I over-thinking? 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…

June 14th – 20th

Reorganized in a More Sustainable Way

This week’s headline items: the second Saturn/Uranus Square of the year becomes exact on Monday early evening; Mercury starts to station again (i.e. it slows down) on Wednesday; the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Thursday late evening; Jupiter’s Station intensifies on Friday and Neptune’s Station does likewise on Saturday!

On Sunday late morning, Jupiter comes to a halt in Pisces (starting its 4-months Retrograde phase); in the late evening, the Sun changes signs from Gemini to Cancer (this also marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere).

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early afternoon (for a little over 9.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for 5 hours), and Sunday morning (for a little over an hour).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 14th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, 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 as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

Monday early evening, the second Saturn/Uranus Square of the year becomes exact, at 6:01pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from January 18th on, it will remain strong until July 18th (due to Saturn’s Retrograde phase that began in May).

The first Square between these two planets was exact on Feb.17th. Think back to that time and ask yourself: What did I learn since January about myself, others, or society as a whole, in connection with spaciousness? How about when it comes to Freedom? Differences? Allowing myself to feel uncomfortable?

This aspect asks us to stretch a little or a lot (individually and collectively). We can’t expect much of anything during this time… expect the unexpected!

Future visions and humanitarian causes — especially those connected to like-minded people — are quite likely to experience disruption, calling for flexibility and creative solutions.

During this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless — maybe even anxious — but if we’re unclear on what is in our best interest, we might focus on things that don’t serve us in the long run.

This aspect tells us that if we redefine our need to fit in and belong, we can find a more authentic connection with our own values; we are also invited to stay detached in our social dealing with others — honoring our own individuality without making anyone else wrong for being different or “themselves”.

Ask yourself: Are other people’s choices and preferences really about me (in other words, do I need to take them personally)? Could I give the “choosing” of other people the space that it needs, so I can honor what’s important to me, without taking things personally?

What might become possible if I expressed myself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion to me, and that’s ok? How might that impact my current communities (whether physical or online)?

Saturn in Aquarius wants us to focus on realistic progress with our technologies, inventions, and long-term visions for the collective. While in Taurus, Uranus, on the other hand, prods us to get back to the basics — to what really matters, what is sustainable (for the whole planet), and what is best for all living beings.

Given this, ask yourself: What does my body require before I can think about connecting with others? Where am I feeling a need for more spaciousness? What does my physical reality require before I can think about what to create for the future? Where do I need to “think out of the box”?

Could I give myself permission to hold some space for things to reorganize themselves physically? How about mentally? Could I allow for this to happen slowly? Without needing to rush into anything? Without pushing others or myself?

Keep in mind that things sometimes need to break down in order for them to be reorganized in a more sustainable way. Individually, this can be related to the area of life in your birth chart that Saturn and Uranus are currently transiting through; collectively, it can show up in sudden shifts and changes in our social or financial structures (or in physical shifts in the Earth’s structure).

If you had to sum this year up with one word, “unexpected” would be a great one to pick — and as best as you can, embrace rather than fear this — see it as opening possibilities for tremendous progress, long-term changes in social interactions, and more beneficial relationships to the planet, and to our physical and material world.

Remember, this only feels uncomfortable because it’s new, different, unfamiliar. Could you allow yourself to be 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?

If you would like to learn how the Saturn/Uranus Squares in Aquarius/Taurus will impact you personally throughout 2021, feel free to watch my webinar on the subject — we looked at our own birth charts to see what the impact might be to us personally.

To purchase this webinar, click here (if you have already seen this webinar, feel free to rewatch it to best align with the current energies. Active Star Members received the recording of this webinar on February 26th).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-16 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Capricorn (the Saturn rules Capricorn; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Monday evening, a somewhat challenging Mars/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Friday (June 11th) on, it will remain strong until this week Thursday evening. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make adjustments  — first though, we must develop an inner awareness of what exactly needs adjusting.

We come to realize that we might have become overly enthusiastic and optimistic about life; what’s more, our drive for inner spiritual expansion — in other words, for connecting from an intuitive place and for going within to experience spiritual growth — is actually leaving us feeling drained, and frustrated. At the same time, we harbor a strong desire to connect with our inner child, and have some fun creating and playing.

It will help us manage both these energies if we look more closely at how we use our own energy: simply put, are we in tune with our heart? Our physical and intuitive bodies? Could I be outgoing and still find time for spiritual growth?

It’s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our connection to our “Higher Self”. Can we stay open to new spiritual perspectives and what they offer us? And perhaps toward our desire for more expansion of the heart-energies internally and externally?

Ignoring conflict will not serve us now, nor will being overly naive or sensitive; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your heart, and your physical and intuitive  body.

Ask yourself: Where might I be bringing an attitude that doesn’t in fact serve my joyful connections with others? A good place to “aim” this question is toward one’s “Higher Self” or intuitive “knowing”.

Here’s another question you may find helpful: If I were to check my energy body in the present moment, how do my assumptions or “stories” impact my relationship to joy and the experience of gratitude?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of Leo or Pisces? If so, you will be…
