Tolerance, Open-Mindedness, and Enthusiasm
This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact very early on Monday; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces early Thursday evening; the Mars-Neptune Square starts to build and get stronger on Saturday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for 1.5 hours), Friday late morning (for almost an hour), and Sunday late evening (for 20 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
The Early Bird Special for our next Forecasting Forum about “Saturn in Pisces” will end on Saturday, March 4th by midnight EST! ==> Click here for more info or to register for this month only. To be automatically registered every month, click here to become a Star Member.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 27th:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
Monday, very early morning, at 3:06am EST, the first Quarter Moon in 8.5° of Gemini becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build when the Moon entered Gemini on Sunday late morning (Feb. 26th). The Moon, in chatty, versatile Gemini, makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate Pisces.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week (on Feb. 20th) saw a Super New Moon. “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is, therefore, a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-11 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Virgo, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Monday morning, we have the opportunity to connect to others and start a new adventure or simply do something that gets us excited about our personal goals. It is also an opportunity to see the bigger picture if we choose to — or shift our perspective by talking it through with someone else. (Moon in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries, exact at 9:08am EST)
Monday afternoon, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:30pm EST)
Monday late evening, we are invited to connect with others and share ourselves in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to us in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc. (Moon conjuncts Mars in Gemini, exact at 11:21pm EST)

Speak Visionary Truths
This week’s headline items: the New Moon (SuperMoon) in Pisces becomes exact very early on Monday morning; soon after that, Venus changes signs from Pisces to Aries. A Jupiter/Chiron alignment begins to build from Thursday on, and last but not least, it’s time to take action on our New Moon intentions, starting Friday early afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for a little over an hour), Friday very early morning ( for a little over an hour), and Sunday morning (a little over an hour).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
Since the Jupiter/Chiron alignment in Aries starts intensifying this week, I wanted to remind everyone that you can watch my webinar about this powerful alignment to get a better sense of your own healing journey at this time.
Because I want as many of you as possible to do your own healing, I am offering a discount for this webinar until March 12th, as this alignment will intensify more and more over the next 21 days ==> Click here to get more info and to purchase.
PS: Current Star Members already have access to this webinar, please check your email (I sent this out on Feb. 6th).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 20th:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
Monday very early morning, at 2:06am EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 1.5° of Pisces, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. I also recommend you watch my video on the subject.
New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle and are therefore an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon is another SuperMoon (the third of four Super New Moons in a row). These occur when the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth (at the time of a New or Full Moon) and are more powerful. This means greater awareness of the issues connected to the particular New Moon energy in question.
Since this one occurs in Pisces, this Super New Moon invites us to connect with our inner divinity and ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.
This New Moon chart has four planets in Pisces — that includes the Sun, the Moon, Neptune, and Venus; Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is closely aligned with Venus. Venus and Pluto are both in 29º of their signs, which is an exalted degree!
The New Moon trines the South Node in Scorpio, making it easier for us to release traumas from the past and allow ourselves to feel whatever needs to be felt.
Mercury in Aquarius is the planet most aspected in this Super New Moon chart. It trines Mars in Gemini, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and squares Uranus in Taurus. All of this will bring an opportunity for greater healing, individually and collectively speaking. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Pisces energy:
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within that exists always and that we can tap into it.
Pisces is accepting and aware of both its temporal and its eternal nature; it understands that we are both singular in nature and also an inseparable part of the universe. It lovingly allows all because it knows separation is an illusion (or conditioning at best) — that separation only exists in the mind.
At its densest expression, however, Pisces feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world.
We get trapped in this lower vibration when we don’t go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we don’t rest enough, when we can’t trust ourselves — our inner processes and intuitive Selves.
Nature is a wonderful teacher for this — if you start to feel overwhelmed by what you are feeling or experiencing,… Click here to read the whole Super New Moon article and get all the Coaching questions for this month.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-4 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or 29 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be between 2:06am on Feb. 20th and 11:06pm on Feb. 21st and then again from 12:14am until 2:06am on Feb. 22nd (New York-time)
For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, click here
Also, on Monday very early morning at 2:56am EST, Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, dreamy Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active Aries, where it will journey until March 16th.
Until March 16th, we are going to feel passionate about connecting with others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal).
With Venus in Aries, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don’t make it too easy for others to win you over.
If you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and “other parts of the house”. We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house and be active with others.
All this is especially true if you are a Taurus, Libra, or Aries Sun-sign or Rising sign. As an Aries, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive, and you will attract things to you. As a Taurus or Libra, you will feel more energized, passionate, and more than usually direct.
Monday late morning, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday evening (Feb. 18th); it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete minds and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, social media, or email interactions.
We are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits like “impatient self-talk” or the use of aggressive language (swear words, for example).
Here are a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family’s attitude towards communication? Toward speaking up for yourself? What if you tried a kinder approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 3 or 5 years old? What if you tried using a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-15 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

The Desire to Manifest Tangible Results
This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon becomes exact Monday late morning; Mercury squares the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio on Wednesday night; the Balsamic Moon phase begins in Capricorn late on Thursday evening; last but not least, the Sun changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 1.5 hours), Wednesday evening (4 hours), Friday late evening (a little over an hour), and Sunday evening (3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 13th:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 8:31pm EST. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, and “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies …
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.
Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Monday late morning, at 11:01am EST, the last Quarter Moon in 24°5’ of Scorpio becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from when the Moon entered Scorpio, Saturday early afternoon (Feb. 11th). While in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, the Moon makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius.
This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. We are better served during the last Quarter Moon by reviewing any projects begun around the last New Moon — in this case, that would be Jan. 21st — rather than launching new ones.
As best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus, or Leo? f so, you are more affected by this month’s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer since the Sun rules Leo, and the Moon rules Cancer.
Monday evening, at 6:52pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts a little over 1.5 hours until 8:31pm EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you long-term.
And, as always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time.
Monday at 8:31pm EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Aries, making this a great time to explore our individual passions and goals. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your own desires — and get excited about new paths and new projects.
Ask yourself: What might open up if I became more connected to “I am that I am”? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards myself and my personal passions and goals?
What might promote my independence and me walking my own path? What might do the same for growth around my sexuality and my human identity? What personal beliefs about my identity am I now ready to explore or go beyond?
Use this time to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of your personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

Take Actions Towards Healing
This week’s headline items: Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase Tuesday very early morning, and later that day, Uranus resumes its normal pace in the sky. Mercury aligns with Pluto in a late degree of Capricorn on Friday, a day before it changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for 7 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (a little over 2 hours), and Saturday late morning (almost 2 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder & another announcement…
It’s not too late to join us for this week’s Forecasting Forum on Monday, Feb. 6th, at 5pm EST/2pm PST. Get a new perspective on your own personal healing journey! ==> Register by Monday at 4:30pm EST to join live, or register any time to get your own mp4-video presentation to download and keep for as long as you want it!
**&** Again, I am happy to announce that I will be collaborating with the unique and talented Honey Harken, an empowerment-based Sex & Intimacy Guide, for a 2-hour webinar on Feb. 16th at 7:30pm EST called: Leaping forward into Love — A taste of Venus! ==> To get more info or to register for this beautiful online event, please click here.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 6th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 4:14pm EST. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them and how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?
Monday, until 4:30pm EST, is your last chance to register for today’s FORECASTING FORUM. If you have been on the fence, now is the time to jump in ==> Click here and join us live or get your mp4-video recording within 24 hours of the live event!
(Star Members are automatically registered and received an email yesterday, Sunday – Feb. 5th – in the afternoon, and today, Feb. 6th, an hour before the live event begins, with the link to join live).

Monday morning, at 9:15am EST, we enter Moon Void of Course (VoC), which lasts for 7 hours until 4:14pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to focus on making realistic choices when connecting with others. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now and focusing on an intellectually realistic and sustainable future.
As always, with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 1:26pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday late evening (Feb. 4th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.
Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, or someone else’s words allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-26 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio, or Taurus? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday late afternoon, at 4:14pm EST, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning (Feb. 9th), turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services, and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

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

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

Practice Gentleness, Be Kind to Yourself
This week’s headline items: Uranus is still stationing and therefore exalted all week; the Full Moon in 16.5° of Leo becomes exact on Sunday afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), Wednesday morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for 2.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, here is a gentle reminder & an announcement…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 30th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 3:35am EST. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain.
Sunday night/Monday very early morning, at 12:52am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC) that will last a little over 2.5 hours, until 3:35am EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regard to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.
As always with a Moon VoC, don’t start anything new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow as best as you can. You may also want to plan Sunday night until Monday very early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 3:35am EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead…
Also: last but not least, Uranus (the planet associated with innovations and breakthroughs) is still stationing all week. When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced, sometimes causing discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy picks up speed again around Feb. 7th (when the station phase has ended).
Definitely expect the unexpected. Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures and moving towards a new future that serves others as well as ourselves. Its keyword is “Freedom”: this aspect provides an opportunity to discover how free we actually feel. So… how free do you feel?
Our intuition is very strong and delivers sudden insights and ideas at this time, especially around what needs to change in our lives.
Are you fully expressing your individuality in your financial partnerships and intimate relationships? Are you connecting to a larger vision? Are you finding ways to reinvent yourself (or at least your pocketbook)? Is anything holding you back? What are you more aware of in connection with your unique visions, values, and financial freedoms?
As best as you can during this time, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to messages from the Universe.
