This week’s headline items: Uranus and Mars still station (and are thus exalted) all week; Mars’ Station intensifies on Wednesday — preparing to end its 2.5-month Retrograde phase late on Thursday afternoon and entering its post-Shadow phase. Mercury slows down (stations) again on Friday as it prepares to end its 3-week Retrograde phase; the last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Saturday late evening.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for almost 13.5 hours), Thursday early evening (for almost 4 hours), and Sunday very early morning (for almost 3.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 9th:
Monday,the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. 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 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. 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 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 that you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?
Monday late morning, a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 10:22am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday night (Jan. 6th); it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. We tend to feel passionate, highly creative, and energized at this time, with lots of vitality and warmth to share.
We are able to actively bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit. That’s not surprising, considering we radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm — we find it easy during this time to get along with both sexes.
There is also a certain amount of flow when it comes to creativity and athletic abilities: If you knew you could accomplish something now with ease, what would you pick?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, and Mars rules Aries)
Monday evening, at 8:52pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 13.5 hours until 10:15am EST (Tuesday late morning). 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.
Also, be your most authentic, joyful Self when connecting with like-minded people. And, 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 Thursday late morning ahead of time.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, January 2nd:
Monday is quite a day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in peaceful, steady Taurus until 9:44pm 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.
What is our favorite thing for the rest of the day? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday, very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact for the second time within the last 9 days — at 1:44am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Dec. 22nd on; it will remain strong until early Wednesday morning (Jan. 4th) — an unusually long time due to Mercury’s Staton/Retrograde phase.
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 21-25 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 morning, a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Dec. 30th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday (Jan. 5th). This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within. We might feel less confident about who we are and have a hard time projecting a social “front”. Our conditioning and wounded sense of Self may be out of harmony with each other.
As best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or “less than”. It is perfectly ok to be yourself and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 9-15 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, or Libra? 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 Leo (the Sun rules Leo).
Monday at 5:16pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts until 9:44pm EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other around earthly issues and 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 evening ahead of time
Monday at 9:09pm EST, Venus changes signs from productive, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-oriented, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Jan. 26th. This requires that we provide more freedom in our relationships — we want to improve them and break away from what feels old or stale.
We want our intellectual qualities to be admired; we also want to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — so friendships and networking will be favored for the next 3.5 weeks. We may also consider unusual financial investments. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and arts group activities.
Venus in Aquarius will also be in a mutual reception with Uranus in Taurus for the next 3.5 weeks. This means they are in each other’s signs and support each other’s agenda. This provides an opportunity to bring a common vision and a more humane approach to our interactions and financial future.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? If so, this placement will bring extra love and beauty into your life. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you may feel the need for freedom or change in your relationships more strongly.
And last but not least, Monday at 9:48pm EST, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Thursday morning (Jan. 5th). 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 🙂

On Jan. 6th, at 6:08pm EST,the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 16.5 degrees of Cancer. The entrance of the Moon into Cancer on Jan. 5th begins the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business relationships. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon video.
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart— Mercury and Mars are both Retrograde, although Mars is also exalted, as it will come to a halt only 6 days after the Full Moon becomes exact, ending its 2.5 months Retrograde phase that began on Oct. 30th!
Uranus will become more exalted two days after the Full Moon becomes exact, preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase (on Jan. 22nd). However, at the time of the Full Moon, Uranus will support the integration of the Full Moon polarity because it is sextiling the Moon in Cancer and trining the Mercury-Sun alignment in Capricorn.
The Moon in Cancer supports the integration of the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio, andtrines Neptune in Pisces. And Mars in Gemini trines Venus in Aquarius! Yay! Lots of harmonious aspects.
The most challenging aspect in this Full Moon chart is a T-Square — with Chiron in Aries as the Focal Point… making Libra the Solution of this T-Square. All of the above-mentioned play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics in regards to all of these planets in a moment.
But first, let’s talk about this month’s Full Moon: This Lunation shows us how well we are doing with self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also where we are in connection to greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.
Ask yourself: What’s my relationship to self-care and where do I feel most “at home”? What’s my understanding of my emotional needs? How might an emotional connection to myself and loved ones be of benefit to me? How might it shift my priorities?
Let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-19 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. 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).
Again, in our FIRST Forecasting Forum of the year on Friday, Jan. 6th at 5pm EST, we’ll be taking a look at all the planetary and Nodal changes of 2023!
For example, we will investigate what shifts Saturn in Pisces will bring over the next 2.5 years, and what Pluto in Aquarius will show us from late March – mid June, as it gives us a preview of what’s to come in 2024 and beyond. How will the Moon’s Nodal shift in July into Aries-Libra impact our collective Soul’s Journey, not to mention Pluto’s involvement in that collective journey…

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Station phase intensifies on Tuesday and ends on Sunday; it’s time to take action on our New Moon intentions from Tuesday early afternoon on; the third US Pluto Return of the year becomes exact on Wednesday; Mercury comes to a halt and starts its 3-week Retrograde phase in Capricorn, on Thursday early morning; the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday evening; and Mars starts to slow down again (stationing) on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for a little over 13 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for a little over 4 hours), and Saturday morning (for almost 4.5 hours).

Monday,the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday very early morning (Dec. 27th). The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday very early morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need to connect with like-minded people while remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others and in ourselves (this in turn, informs our self-worth); as far as possible, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (the Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 2:35am EST)
Monday afternoon, at 1:19pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last a little over 13 hours, until 2:34am EST(Tuesday every early morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on a long-term vision for your communities that involves a mature and realistic approach. As best as you can, take your time, and do your best to come from a place of integrity.
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 early afternoon until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.

This week’s headline items: The Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday late evening; Jupiter re-enters Aries late Tuesday late morning; Wednesday late afternoon, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere; on Thursday, Neptune’s station ends, and Mercury starts to slow down, beginning its Station phase as it prepares to come to a halt and go retrograde next week; on Friday early morning, Chiron comes to a halt (ending its 5-month Retrograde phase), and a SuperMoon and New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for 4.5 hours); Thursday afternoon (for 11.5 hours), and Saturday late evening (for 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I would like to…
…wish you all a wonderful Holiday season and Winter Solstice! It’s been such a treat to reconnect with so many of you over the last several weeks.
If anyone is interested in connecting with me over the holidays, I will be available for Readings and Coaching sessions. If I don’t talk to you during the holidays, may you find peace and inner joy in the coming week!

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day; it will journey there until Wednesday very early 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. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday late morning, a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:23am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Dec. 21st). 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, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are 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 or suppress 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 9-15 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, 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 afternoon, a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:37pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday afternoon (Dec. 18th); it will remain strong untilTuesday afternoon. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.
This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we engage with. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.
When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can. Ask yourself: How mature and realistic could I allow myself to be?
This combo could also be related to a mental crisis, so as best as you can, take extra care of your mental well-being and focus on long-term goals that support your “mind-body” well-being.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Capricorn or Gemini? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars of Aries).
Monday early evening, an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 5:39pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Tuesday evening (Dec. 13th) on; it will remain strong untilnext week Tuesday (Dec. 27th) — an unusually long time due to Chiron’s Station phase. This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desires, so we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.
This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take action toward healing our physical, sexual, and spiritual wounds. As best as you can, allow yourself and others to be human while on your path to wholeness and a larger, more purposeful life. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us; we have to make them happen.
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if I took a curious approach toward my flaws, quirks, and insecurities? How might this support my healing process? Someone else’s?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo, or Aquarius? 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 Aries (Mars rules Aries).
Monday late evening, around 9:30pm EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 13° of Scorpio. This lasts until Friday early morning when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that later this week… however, feel free to already watch my New Moon video 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 tension. 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?

Now, let’s talk about the New Moon:
New Moons are good times to reflect on our lives and set new intentions. This is an excellent time to go within and plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days and beyond.
Given it takes place less than 48 hours after the Winter Solstice, this New Moon is a significant time to set Intentions, not just for the next 28 days but also for this Winter season. This is because the Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season.
This New Moon is also a SuperMoon. These occur when the Moon becomes either Full or New at its closest distance to the Earth and are more powerful. They generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic forces and therefore increased effects on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies, leading to significant shifts in consciousness.
Since it occurs in Capricorn, this Super New Moon directs us to investigate our relationship with authority, not just “authority” in the external sense, but also our “inner authority”. The next section of this forecast will dig into this in more detail — you may also want to watch my New Moon video 🙂
The most prominent themes of this Super New Moon are:
Chiron (the wounded Healer) stations direct less than an hour before the New Moon becomes exact, therefore highly exalted! And making several aspects to other planets in this New Moon chart, bringing our attention to our healing processes.
The New Moon makes a Square to Jupiter, which moves back into Aries on Dec. 20th, asking us to stretch and grow.
Mercury is also exalted in this New Moon chart (in its pre-Shadow phase and stationing) and making several noteworthy aspects, bringing our attention to being responsible and realistic with our words and thoughts. Practicing effective, authentic, mature, and empowering communication is helpful.
And last but not least, there is a Venus-Uranus Trine that brings newness into our relationships — and possibly also into our financial future.
The highest vibration of Capricorn is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, setting realistic goals and healthy boundaries. So the next 28 days are perfect for working on these areas.
This is the last New Moon of 2022, and since Capricorn represents the quest for self-mastery on the physical plane, some helpful questions you can ask yourself include…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 0-4 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra, or 29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, 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 the month’s Moon cycle — the perfect time is after the New Moon becomes exact (but not during a Moon void of course).
So this month, there are two best and most potent times to set intentions — the first would be any time between 5:17am on Friday, Dec. 23rd, and 10:11pm on Saturday late evening, Dec. 24th — and the second would be between 2:14am and 5:17am on Sunday morning (Dec. 25th) (EST/New York time).
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions 😉

"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!"
