On July 3rd, at 7:39am EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun in 11 degrees of Capricorn. To learn more about this month’s Full Moon and if you are a Member of my online community, click here to watch my Full Moon video.
This Full Moon has heightened effects on us for many reasons: first, it is a “Full SuperMoon” (i.e. the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth).
Secondly, lots of planets are involved in this Super Full Moon chart:
Mercury aligns with the Sun in Cancer
the Moon in Capricorn & Saturn in Pisces make several aspects to multiple planets
Venus aligns with Mars in Leo
Venus & Mars both square Uranus in Taurus, and they both trine Chiron in Aries
Neptune in Pisces is still stationing and thus more exalted — indicating that something is in our face and demands our awareness in connection with the feminine energies (such as allowing, resting, sensing, intuiting, and feeling into the flow of things…) and all of this plays an essential role for the next two weeks, so buckle up!
Saturn in Pisces plays a huge role in this Full Moon chart, firstly because it is the ruler of Capricorn and, consequently, also the ruler of this Full Moon.
Secondly, Saturn also sextiles the Moon in Capricorn, making the next two weeks an opportunity for us to focus on what’s essential and bring a sense of flow to our long-term goals or plans. More details about Saturn’s other aspects in a moment…
First, let’s look at the polarities of this Full Moon: The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn opposes the Sun & Mercury 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 connection we have to our feelings and emotional needs, plus our ability to feel emotionally connected to others (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals out there in the world (Capricorn).
The Moon, in opposition to the Mercury/Sun alignment in Cancer, asks us to balance loving, caring connection and sharing against our need to achieve our long-term goals. As best as you can, steer by…

This week’s headline items: Neptune in Pisces remains exalted all week; the first Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact early on Monday; Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer late Monday evening; Neptune comes to a halt to start its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase on Friday late afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday early morning (for 36 minutes), Friday late morning (for 49 minutes), and Sunday late morning (for almost 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a quick reminder:
Next week, WEDNESDAY, July 5th, at 5pm EDT/2pm PT/10pm London time, will be our next Forecasting Forum about the Moon Nodes’ entry into Aries-Libra. A Journey that will last until January 2025.
The Moon Nodes represent our Soul’s Journey on a collective and individual level. What are our lessons around relationships and self-identity over the next 18 months? What needs our awareness, and what needs to be integrated?
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there 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. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact in the very early morning).
Monday at 3:50am EDT, the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday evening. The Moon, in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in protective, nurturing Cancer.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon on June 17/18th. “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making 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 2-7 degrees of Libra, Cancer, Aries or Capricorn? 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 early morning, a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 5:23am EDT. We started to feel this aspect buildfrom Tuesday evening (June 20th) on, and it will remain strong until Saturday (July 1st).
Think back to late July/early August of last year, when Mars and Uranus were conjunct in Taurus: what seeds got planted back then? And what adjustments are needed to move those plans forward?
This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.
Uranus urges us to let go of our past values and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow, and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner child wants what it wants, while outer “reality” demands we change course.
On the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn’t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out. Do your best not to burn all your bridges, though, especially with any males in your family or like-minded people that you value. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regard to our sexuality.
Accidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Watch out for prideful moments (when your ego feels bruised)!
Notice when you are digging your heels in about something; this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.
Ask yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel or just burn off all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to risk something?
Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in 18-25 degrees of Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, or Scorpio? 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 Aries or Aquarius (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)
Monday late afternoon, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect (in 29º of Gemini/Capricorn) becomes exact at 5:07pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect buildfrom Sunday evening (June 25th) on, and it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (June 27th).This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, awkward, and need to make a choice — so we need to develop inner awareness.
Our compulsive side may lead us down a path that evades rational understanding. Our judgments — of circumstances, ourselves, and others — can be so extreme during this aspect that we can’t seem to make intelligent and consistent progress in our life for the three days it is in effect.
As best as you can, strive to be more trusting and less strict with yourself for these three days. Surrender to whatever you are experiencing right now: It is temporary
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 28-29 degrees of Gemini, Capricorn, or 0 degrees of Cancer, 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Mondayat 8:24pm EDT, Mercury moves from curious, quick-witted Gemini into protective, nurturing Cancer. It will journey there until July 10/11th. During this cycle, we are more sensitive to our surroundings, especially when listening and taking in information.
We also have more sympathy for the suffering of others. On the other hand, we have less objectivity, as emotions are always involved in our interactions with others; this could also mean we end up taking things more personally than we really need to — perhaps even to the extent that we start feeling sorry for ourselves.
As best as you can, remember to ask yourself: Is this really about me?
This is particularly true if you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign inGeminiorVirgo. You will feel a stronger need to connect with family or the people in your life that feel familiar and safe. You may also feel the need to talk about the past and work through past conditioning. If you are a Cancer Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will be more chatty for the next 2 weeks.

Join me as I share about Neptune’s current movement: :
* Neptune in Pisces is exalted (stationing) until July 14th, 2023
* Do you have a Pisces Sun-sign or Rising-sign?
* Do you have a strong Neptune placement in your Birth chart?
This week’s headline items: Neptune stations (exalted) all week; Venus enters her pre-Shadow phase early on Monday; late Wednesday morning, the Sun changes signs from Gemini to Cancer — this also marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere; Neptune’s Station phase intensifies on Thursday; it’s time to take action on our New Moon Intentions, starting Friday; the Saturn station ends on Saturday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for 21 minutes), Thursday early afternoon (for 17.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for 33 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 19th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two days.
Monday all day: If you haven’t gotten around to it yet,set your Intentions for this Moon cycle… 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 around 3:15am EDT, Venus enters her Shadow phase when she reaches 12º12′ of Leo. This marks the beginning of her pre-Retrograde Shadow phase that will last until July 22nd.
During a “retrograde”, a planet appears to reverse its normal direction through the sky. Astrologers refer to the period immediately before and after a planet’s Retrograde phase as the “Shadow phases”; at these times, the planet travels through the degrees of a sign that it will later revisit during the Retrograde phase.
Venus is usually in its Shadow for about five weeks prior to a Retrograde and five weeks after. This gives us a chance to reassess our values, relationships, and finances, so look carefully at whatever shows up in those areas of your life during the Shadow phases — you will get a chance to readdress those issues during the Venus Retrograde phase (July 22nd – Sept. 3rd).
Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in Taurus or Libra? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10 – 29 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you are more affected by this Shadow phase and the upcoming Retrograde phase.
Monday late morning, an opportune Jupiter/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 11:53am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from June 9th on; it will remain strong until June 29th. This aspect is an opportunity to create a finer balance between our need for personal growth around our physical/material realities and our need for keeping things real when it comes to the energetic, spiritual, or intuitive realm.
It is also an opportunity to have more self-discipline and self-motivation in our lives — we are more likely to find an increased focus on spiritual, inner self-mastery, coupled with a sense of enthusiasm about our physical comforts and realities.
Ask yourself: How might sourcing my energy from within support a stronger connection to myself and my talents? What might be possible if I got enthusiastic about my current physical reality? How might a practical and long-term sustainable approach towards my body or finances serve my enjoyment of life in the long run?
On Dec. 21st, 2020, Jupiter and Saturn aligned in 0 degrees of Aquarius. This is the first sextile since this conjunction — we are ready to open ourselves to new possibilities.
There is also an opening regarding our responsibilities — they feel easier as we see their value. If we stay open-minded and open-hearted, finances can get back on track. It’s undoubtedly easier to save and regulate spending.
As best as you can, allow yourself to tune in and transcend your social/cultural conditioning; a good place to start is committing to better understanding your belief systems around self-honoring, relationships, and finances — and where those beliefs originated.
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 5-9 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, or Cancer? 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 Sagittarius or Capricorn (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius and Saturn rules Capricorn).

Take a Serious Look at Your Interconnectedness With Life
This week’s headline items: Saturn’s Station intensifies on Monday and comes to a halt on Saturday, starting its yearly 4-month Retrograde phase at 7 degrees of Pisces; the Balsamic Phase begins early Wednesday; Neptune begins its Station phase on Friday; the New Moon in Gemini becomes exact very early on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 4 minutes), Thursday late evening (for 10 minutes), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 6.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a quick announcement:
For anyone who has been thinking about joining our online community, or if you would like to gift a FREE month of Daily Forecasts to a friend or Family Member, this is your chance!
No strings attached; if you decide after two or three weeks that the MSH is not for you,feel free to pause or cancel it at any time via the Membership portal ==> inside “My Account” go to “My Subscriptions”.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 12th:
Monday,the Moon remains inpioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately.
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.
Monday morning, we can feel a nice flow and ability to be courageous and walk our own path. We are invited to have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring us joy — as best as you can, explore something new, take a risk. (Moon in Aries trines Mars in Leo, exact at 8:35am EDT)
Monday evening has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with and around our ability to be assertive; this gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations. (Moon conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 7:15pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we have an opportunity to connect with our own personal goals and share our passion with others in an inspiring way. (Moon in Ariessextiles the Sun in Gemini, exact at 11:59pm EDT)
Also, on Monday, Saturn’s Station intensifies at 7º of Pisces until June 20th. “Stationing” is when a planet moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more “exalted”; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.
Saturn has to do with doing what needs to be done — so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments, and ability to “do” life on life’s terms.
As spirit beings in a physical world, it’s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to “play by the rules”, the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the “domain” of time: growing up, maturing, understanding and acknowledging our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.
Saturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, where would your personal “Earth Classes” be focused right now? Where are you being asked to take a more serious look at your interconnectedness with life? Do your spiritual practices truly resonate with you? Do they align with who you are now? What requires a more mature approach in those areas?
We are also being asked to face our various modes of escapism from this world. What do we see now that needs our attention, that is keeping us separate from feeling truly connected to our intuitive knowing? To our higher Self? To our compassionate heart?
What calls for a commitment towards a realistic way to connect to all of life and trust our intuitive knowing? What will time do?
As best as you can during the Station phase, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. This more intensified Station-phase will last until June 20th — and Saturn will start its 4-month Retrograde phase on June 17th in 7 degrees of Pisces (more on that later this week).
Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in Capricorn or Aquarius? Or perhaps you have an Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you are more affected by this planet’s Station phase.

One major thing to note in this New Moon chart is that Pluto has moved back into Capricorn, since the last Full Moon and does now answer again to Saturn (Saturn rules Capricorn). We also have Neptune & Saturn (both of them in Pisces) in their Station phases — and therefore exalted.
Something is therefore “in our face” in regards to those energies, demanding our attention and awareness; I will talk more about all of this below, but first, let’s look at the Gemini influence of this New Moon and its aspects:
Gemini is the archetype of curiosity, communication in all its forms, and mental connections — it represents the development of language and intelligence, as well as our ability to adapt and relate to our immediate environment.
This is a “busy” energy focused on collecting information. We are invited to look at our mental programming and conditioned mind to see what needs to go — and what new thought structures we might want to engage with.
The New Moon in Gemini squares an exalted Neptune in Pisces. With any Square we are invited to stretch and grow. It challenges us to get out of our comfort zone and to work through something that requires a creative approach. We are asked to make changes that may not necessarily come naturally but that are required if we want to grow and move to the next level of our journey.
In this case, our comfort zone is the mind (Gemini) and our need to be mentally busy and engaged. The challenge here is finding a way to trust our intuition (Pisces) and turn inwards for answers and direction.
Ask yourself: What might be possible if I allowed myself to shift from only paying attention to my conditioned mind, to getting present in the here and now and feeling into the energy and truth of who I am?
Is it possible that what I understand with the mind is very different from what I comprehend with the heart? And if that is so, could I trust my heart 5% more than I have done previously? Could I allow myself to slow down and be in the knowing that all is well, all of the time?
Keep in mind that Neptune is exalted (stationing) at the time of the New Moon (until July 14th), and its energy is thus louder; we may not only feel more…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, 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 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, any time between 12:37am and 2:24am (on June 18th) would be best, then again from 6:58am (on June 18th) until 12:37am (on June 20th) — please note that all times are given in the Eastern Daylight Timezone — the timezone New York City occupies. For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-page or follow me on twitter, as I post reminders on Sunday, June 18th and Monday, June 19th to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.

This week’s headline items: Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo late on Monday morning; Saturn starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday; Venus squares the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio late on Thursday afternoon; the last Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Saturday afternoon; Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn and Mercury changes signs from Taurus to Gemini early Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 4 hours), Thursday night/Friday early morning (for almost 6 hours), and Sunday late morning (for less than one minute).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know that…

“This was great: thxxxx!!!!!!” — Anna
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 5th:
Monday,the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius and VoCuntil 3:31am EDT.
Monday at 3:31am EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning (June 7th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings 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 — and it is currently transiting through Pisces. This is a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.
It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?
What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?
What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, being present, and feeling connected to the Universe in this now-moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?
Monday at 9:46am EDT, Venus changes signs from sensitive, protective Cancer to fun-loving, extroverted Leo, where it will journey until Oct. 9th — an unusually long time due to its upcoming Retrograde phase (in late July-early September). Venus in Leo changes how we “do” relationships.
We’re “in love with love”, so we especially appreciate (and are turned on by) gestures of love and romance. It goes the other way, too: we are warm, affectionate, and loyal with those we love and cherish (as long as they show us that they deserve our love). Grand gestures of love and exciting, tantalizing interactions work best. Lavish everyone with compliments (including yourself).
We also want to have fun and express our love for life… and what better way is there to do that than to throw a huge party for everyone we love? And if a “huge party” doesn’t appeal, don’t opt for the couch and the TV: get out there. It’s a good time to take a chance!
“Taking a chance” applies to the financial realm, especially any ventures related to entertainment, children, sports, or the stock market.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more outgoing and confident for the period Venus moves through Leo. Your heart will want to connect and be admired. Creative endeavors will feel satisfying to you. If you are a Leo Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.
Monday early afternoon, a Venus/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 12:05pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect buildfrom last week, Saturday morning (June 3rd) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday (June 8th). We are called to create a balance between our desire for having fun and expressing our love for life in the present moment versus our desire to transform and shake things up when it comes to our visions for ourselves and for our communities.
We can learn a lot about ourselves through relationships during this opposition phase. We may not altogether like what we see, though, as we perhaps glimpse our own “darker” side — and it will be critical that we recognize it as our own “stuff” rather than projecting it onto a romantic partner, collaborator, or friend.
Sexual intensity can be a part of this transit, too — as can fear of losing meaningful connections or of being abandoned. Ask yourself: What fears or concerns are coming into awareness in connection with an important relationship of mine? What needs to transform so I can honor myself and connect in an authentic way and thus experience an empowered version of myself? Might I deepen my relationships with others if I brought 5% more grace and an open heart to my interactions?
We have a deeply lodged need to establish a sense of self-worth at this time; we may start to argue or lay blame in order to feel better about ourselves. We need to be less concerned with how we “appear” to others and more with how we actually “are”.
All of this could bring up deep feelings in connection with other people. There also might be a tendency to confuse “Love” and “Power” right now; as best as you can, be true to yourself and come from an open heart rather than a scared one. Ask yourself: What would “Love” do?
An opposition always comes back to the starting point of the conjunction between the two planets involved. In this case, Venus and Pluto aligned on January 1st, 2023, at 27.5º Capricorn. Think back to that time: What relationships began at the beginning of this year? How about the relationship you have with yourself? What seeds were planted? What have you learned about your shadow, your focus, and your ability to stay committed to something or someone? How far have you come since then?
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio or 27-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this opposition. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio).

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