Ridding Ourselves of Self-Delusion — Forecast for July 15 – 21
This week’s headline items: A Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday late afternoon, the Mercury station ends on Thursday, and Mercury re-enters the sign of Cancer very early Friday.
There are only two Moon VoC phases this week, but they’re both pretty long: Tuesday late afternoon (for a little over 11.5 hours) and Thursday late morning/early afternoon (over 29 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have two quick announcements: If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week… and still would like to learn how the big shifts this month are impacting you personally… feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about the Solar Eclipse in Cancer and the Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn — in relationship to your own Birth Chart… To purchase this webinar, click here.

Now for this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 15th:
Monday, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.
For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop. This Moon placement starts the build up to the Full Moon (exact Tuesday late afternoon).
Monday morning: we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key 😉
Also on Monday morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people, and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment. We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable.
Monday early afternoon, we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.
Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the urge to be creative, self-expressed, and playing full-out — and on the other, the desire to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged; we are invited to…

On July 16th, at 5:38pm EDT: the Moon opposes the Sun in 24 degrees of Capricorn — this is a Lunar Eclipse becoming exact (the entrance of the Moon into Capricorn on Sunday evening (July 14th) starts the energetic build up towards this powerful Full Moon). This Full Moon is actually the second of two Eclipsesin July; the first one was the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on July 2nd.
Lots of planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse chart — Saturn, Pluto, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Neptune — and all play an important role, so buckle up! Of the 11 astrological “planets”, 6 are retrograde at the time of this Eclipse, indicating that we have lots of inner processes going on — and it will be important to honor those processes.
This Full Moon is also the first Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn since the Moon Nodes moved into Cancer/Capricorn in late 2018. This puts an emphasis on balancing those two polarities and integrating them both within ourselves and collectively. With Eclipses this is a longer term process — in this case, a process that will last until Nov. 2020.
Let’s take a look at those polarities: The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn opposes the Sun in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer.
We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the experience of our feelings and our emotional needs (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals (Capricorn).
It’s important to realize that our long-term goals need our attention — and that they are the very thing that will bring the fulfillment and inner stability we seek. A realistic approach will work best here! Ask yourself: Where might the balance point be between the demands of my inner and outer life?

Please keep in mind that Eclipse Season lasts until July 31st. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, and find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow also for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that’s true in general, but especially true until Eclipse season ends 😉
Another thing to remember: if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the “here and now”. Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. We are receiving a consciousness upgrade — that’s a good thing!

Now for this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 8th:
Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo and VoCuntil 2:07am EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.
We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement start the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact Tuesday morning)
Monday morning, a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:42am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (July 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday (July 10th). 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 though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being 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 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 3-9 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn 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 late morning, an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 11:32am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (July 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning (July 10th). This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others — to do something different or unusual — freedom plays a big part in this aspect.
Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time — it’s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.
We’re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings — good places to look: all things “tech” (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash 😉
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 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 Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).
Also, Monday late morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Sunday late evening (July 7th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (July 9th). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.
More profoundly though, we may feel challenged, as we realize that we are being overly enthusiastic with others. That high optimism may also drive us to take on more than we can physically handle. If we do start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at how we use our energy: Are we in tune with our emotional body?
It’s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our experience of life… Can we stay open to new philosophies or perspectives on life and what it offers to us? And even perhaps stay open toward our desire for more expansion or personal/spiritual growth?
Holding on to the past will not serve us now, nor will fear of anything other than the familiar; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your emotional body — keep tuning into, and taking care of, your “inner baby”.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-17 degrees of Cancer or Sagittarius? 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 Sagittarius (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)
Monday early evening,a Mercury/Mars alignment in almost 4.5 degrees of Leo becomes exact at 6:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Tuesday evening (July 2nd) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday (July 11th). This alignment might speed up our thinking (and possibly also our driving 😉
We communicate with curiosity, enthusiasm and energy, especially when it has to do with sports, fun activities, games, risk-taking activities, creative engagements, children — and anything connected to love and romance. We get to the very heart of a subject.
Something to be aware of: We may take things a little too personally. This defensiveness could make it challenging for others to engage in healthy dialogue with us. We may focus too much on ourselves and get attached to being “right” over being happy.
As best as you can, appreciate yourself, life and others — and honor your heart. If you find yourself having impatient thoughts and behaviors, draw a deep breath into your lower belly and feel the the breath soothing your solar plexus, bringing you back to your center…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-8 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Aries (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).
Monday evening, at 7:40pm EDT, Chiron comes to a halt in almost 6 degrees of Aries. As you may recall from last week, Chiron is the wounded healer; in Aries, it brings our attention towards our physical and sexual wounds, as well as wounding around our self-identity and the masculine energies. Watch out for any triggers that are connected to your past.
This is the beginning of Chiron’s 5-month retrograde phase, that lasts until Dec. 12th (moving backwards to 1.5 degrees of Aries). Until Dec. 12th, we are getting a chance to connect to, and investigate our wounds and insecurities on a more internal level.
We may need to put any wounds around the masculine approach to things under the magnifying glass — while they are there, do your best to take a closer look at how you might bring compassion and understanding to them. What might you discover about those wounds, if you really looked? How could others benefit from your discoveries?

Rooted in Fertile Ground — Forecast for July 1st – 7th
This week’s headline items: Mars changes signs, moving from Cancer to Leo on Monday evening; the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Wednesday late morning; we can start to set our Solar Eclipse intentions on Thursday afternoon; Mercury’s station intensifies on Thursday, and the planet comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 3-week Retrograde phase.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early evening (for a little over 3.5 hours), Wednesday late morning (for almost 13 hours), Friday very early morning (for 22 hours), and Sunday early afternoon (for a little over 13 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement: I am honored to say that I have been ask to speak at “Fresh Voices in Astrology”, a 2-day virtual Astrology Summit in August, presented by AstrologyUniversity. My segment is called “React vs. Respond — Where in the chart can we learn about our emotional maturity?, and I will be delivering it on Saturday, Aug. 3rd at 3pm PDT/6pm EDT. If you want to see 13 wonderful talks from Astrologers that weekend, keep it open in your calendar: It’s free, and it promises to be amazing!
Now for this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 1st:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 9:24pm EDT. For the next few hours, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂
Monday at 5:48pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 3.5 hours until 9:24pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.
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 evening ahead of time.
Monday evening, at 7:19pm EDT, Mars changes signs from protective, emotional, safety-oriented Cancer to fun-loving, risk-taking Leo, where it will journey until August 16th. This is a particularly vital position for Mars.
For these next six and a half weeks we will feel a strong need to create in some way. Passions tend to run high, as do desire, will, enthusiasm — and our appetite for risk.
Our ego is tied up with our actions — anything we do becomes a source of great pride — and tempts us to “prideful” positioning. If we can move forward on our personal goals, especially those in alignment with our heart, we could become inspirational leaders.
If you have an Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more fun-loving and competitive; it likely will be a more active time in your life. If you are a Leo Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized and passionate for the next 6.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project with your children (or your inner child) might be advisable.
Monday at 9:24pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.
Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it — otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies.
This is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.
It comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?
Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to July 2018 — the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Cancer. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?
As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.
Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and…
On July 2nd, at 3:16pm EDT, a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 10.5 degrees of Cancer becomes exact. This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle — in fact, this is the first of two Eclipses within the next two weeks!
You can think of Eclipses as extra-powerful New and Full Moons. The Sun, Moon, and Earth line up in such a way that cosmic energies are intensified, fostering amplified shifts in consciousness and accelerating our evolution.
The Sun and Moon are both in Cancer — and, as always, they connect to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the North Node — and North Node Eclipses help us explore anew an energy that promotes Soul-evolution.
As I mentioned earlier, Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons, they end one 19-year cycle and begin another. On July 1st, 2000, we had a Solar Eclipse in almost 10.5 degrees of Cancer that was also connected to the North Node; given this similarity, we are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonant”, rather than identical — so think back to the summer of 2000 and ask yourself the following:
Were there any major endings back then? Beginnings? What was important? If the call now came to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find me?
The shift connected with this particular Eclipse began last summer already (July 2018), and will unfold over the next 11-16 months. This shift in question is all about the Cancer energy; which is connected to family, home (this could be a physical or emotional “home”) — a shift with past issues around feeling “at home”, “safe” or “nurtured”– both internally and in the world.
Internally, this is about being more rooted in our physical-emotional bodies, and allowing ourselves to explore and celebrate the mother-archetype both within and without — this would be things archetypically “mother-related”, like giving and receiving nurturing, caring for ourselves in terms of our emotional and physical state, and so on. Over the next 6 months…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-16 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Libra or Aries? If so, you are more affected by this powerful New Moon/SuperMoon/Solar Eclipse. 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).
Alright, let’s talk about intention-setting: setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just the next 28 days.
Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact — as we are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are quite intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions… We also definitely do not want to do this during a Moon void of course.
The best and most potent times to set your Intentions is therefore either between 3:16pm on July 4th and 2:24am on July 5th, orbetween 12:25am and 3:16pm on July 6th (in US Eastern Time — i.e. the New York time zone).
Set powerful intentions — after all, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Cancer energy!
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining myFacebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions 😉
This Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires that we create a balance in our lives; so, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What if I created a more authentic connection to my feeling-body? And if I did, might it just possibly help me better take care of my needs? And if I did that… might I in turn become a more successful and accomplished citizen of the world?

Now for this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 24th:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 10:38pm EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.
Monday in morning, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (June 21st) on, it will be strong until this Wednesday. We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money — so it’s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas — if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it’s likely you will not see things as they truly are.
We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love — if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days — it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-22 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius or Virgo? 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, Libra or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces)
Monday at 7:10pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 3.5 hours, until 10:38pm EDT. This is an intuitive time; use it to share about your past, and to offer loving and compassionate support to yourself and others.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening until the late evening ahead of time.
Monday at 10:38pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday late morning.
