Dig Out the Truth About Your Feelings & the World You’ve Built

This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Tuesday morning; Chiron in Aries comes to a halt and begins its 5-month Retrograde phase on Tuesday late morning; on Wednesday late morning, the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact and Mars (in Taurus) moves over the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th); Jupiter starts its Station phase on Friday; the Sun changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Friday late afternoon; on Sunday late morning, the Balsamic Moon phase begins, and Mercury (in Leo) squares the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th).

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 4.5 hours); Wednesday late morning (4 hours), and Friday evening (almost 5.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, a quick reminder:

If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 18th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 7:17am 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.

Monday very early morning, at 2:43am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for 4.5 hours, until 7:17am EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve you long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart that stir you towards success.

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 morning ahead of time.

Monday very early morning, a Mercury/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 3:01am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (July 16th), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This opposition might bring up some profound issues that need to be discussed. Obsessive thinking, attempts to persuade, insistence on knowing the “truth” or exposing lies, are all possibilities now.

We are capable of very hard work and exertion. In particular, we tend to pursue ideas with intensity, making this an excellent time for any kind of research or in-depth study. We may not be able to put our inner thoughts and experiences into words — and maybe that’s as well, given the darkness and intensity of those thoughts.

We may develop a great love of debate, but we need to be careful not to overpower others with our strong opinions, in our efforts to “convert” them — in other words, treating debates or exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds.

Intense conversations and connections feel more “real” than superficial ones. We want to dig out the truth about our feelings and the world we’ve built. As best as you can, try not to obsess about what someone said to you, or what you’ve heard: We may take things personally that were actually meant to empower us. Here’s what it comes down to: Could you allow yourself to go deeper and tap into your true inner power?

As best as you can, take it one moment at a time; as best you can, resolve issues through cooperation and stay objective. When you notice that you are taking things personally and starting to get defensive, take a deep breath and ask yourself: Is this really about me? Or my past issues? Or theirs? How can I ground myself in the here and now? What might change if I decided to focus on nurturing myself?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra, or 0-1 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? 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 rules Scorpio).

Monday, at 7:17am EDT, the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey there until Wednesday afternoon (July 20th). 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.

July 11th – 17th

Let your Intuition Guide you in Money & Love

This week’s headline items: the second of three US Pluto Returns (in 27.5º of Capricorn) will be exact on Monday; on Tuesday, Chiron’s station in Aries intensifies, and Neptune’s station in Pisces finally ends (with the planet now in its Retrograde phase); the Full Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Sunday late evening.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for a little over 7 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 4 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for almost 4 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, just a gentle reminder:

Due to a family matter, I will be taking a break from creating Full Moon videos until the end of the summer. All other Member content (including Full Moon articles, New Moon videos, New Moon articles, and my Weekly Forecasts) will continue uninterrupted.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 11th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. With this Moon placement, 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, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than take orders.

With the Moon in  Sagittarius, 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 couple of days 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 today to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of our own personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

Monday late evening, at 9:42pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 7 hours, until 5:01am EDT (Tuesday early morning). As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.

Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little; as best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.

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 late evening until Tuesday early morning ahead of time.

Also on Monday, the second of three US Pluto Returns this year becomes exact at 27º33’ of Capricorn; the first was exact on Feb. 20th. The process of transformation has begun. You might even say that this process already started 5 years ago, in January 2017, when Pluto started to approach its exact return point (coming within 10º of its natal position).

This is a once-every-248-year event that facilitates a major breakdown and rebirthing process — and since the United States is a fairly young country, she is experiencing this transformative event for the first time since the country was founded in 1776. The re-birthing process is a long one, but the initiation will be completed by Dec. 28th, 2022: A new era begins ==> Feel free to also watch my video on the subject.

Open to Forgiving Yourself? And Others?

This week’s headline items: Neptune in Pisces is still exalted, as it is stationing all week; from Monday morning on, it is time to start taking action on our New Moon intentions; Mars changes signs from Aries to Taurus, and Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer, very early on Tuesday; the first Quarter Moon in Libra is exact on Wednesday late evening; Chiron starts to slow down (station) in Aries on Saturday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for almost 4.5 hours); Thursday late evening (for a little over 4 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 4 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me share something important:

To everyone who celebrates 4th of July… Happy Independence Day! The second Pluto Return of the USA is approaching… exact on July 11th. Feel free to watch my video on the subject, here.

If you are feeling the intensity of the times we live in, and could use some support or peace of mind, give yourself the gift of a Coaching-Healing session!

For anyone who has never done a session with me, I would like to offer the first 30 minutes for free and if you don’t see any benefit for yourself after 30 minutes, we can end the session then and there (no questions asked) — and if you do, we would continue for another 50 minutes and make your first session an 80-minute session, all for the same price as my regular 50-minute sessions.

Simply email me if you would like to give it a shot! Looking forward to supporting you!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 4th:

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day and will journey there until Tuesday evening; 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.

Monday morning, from 9:03am EDT on, it is time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions — if you set Intentions on June 28th, 29th or 30th last week, after the New Moon became exact, this morning will be the best time to start taking relevant actions.

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?

Monday late morning, we feel a need to be precise and practical in our thinking and with our work, and we also want to connect, interact and learn from others. This tension invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions — the key here is to be of service, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.

You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself! (Moon in Virgo squares Venus in Gemini, exact at 11:38am EDT) 

Monday afternoon, calls for 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 desire to heal our relationship with the inner masculine (assertiveness/anger, leadership, taking actions) — and on the other, the need to tend to our daily work or health routines. (Moon in Virgo quincunxes Chiron in Aries, exact at 4:22pm EDT)

Monday evening, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail.

We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable. (Moon in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 7:23pm EDT)

June 27th – July 3rd

by Sonja Francis | Jun 26, 2022 | Astrological Forecasts

Prepared to Go to Any Lengths

This week’s headline items: Neptune comes to a halt (starting its 5-month retrograde phase) very early on Tuesday and the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday late evening. The 45-day window of the Lunar Eclipse’s impact closes Thursday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for a little over 9 hours); Thursday late afternoon (almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday morning (2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I just wanted to thank those of you who…

… sent their condolences on YouTube or via Facebook. It was a difficult week for me and my husband. Saying goodbye to our beloved cat after 20 years of living together and going through so many life changes and challenges was definitely hard. I am glad that she is no longer in pain and has found peace, but my heart is grieving. She was really special.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 27th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day, and it will journey there until Tuesday morning. With this placement, 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 morning, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:46am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (June 25th), and 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?

For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron Workshop: “Healing with Astrology” Click here for more info. Please keep in mind that as a Member of my online community you have automatic access to this workshop. Go to My Courses.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 14-18 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Leo? 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).

Monday evening, an opportune Mars/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:29pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (June 24th), and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This aspect is an opportunity to have more self-discipline and self-motivation in our lives — we could find an increased focus on our work and activities, coupled with a sense of purpose.

We have a chance to face life with more purpose and maturity. We tend to be more practical than usual, and our progress in most projects is perhaps slow but steady. This can be a very productive time in our lives. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — this isn’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make the most of it. It’s our choice.

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 23-27 degrees of Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, or Gemini? 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 Aries or Capricorn (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Monday late evening, at 10:38pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 9 hours, until 7:53am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — you may also need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to your inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

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 late evening until Tuesday morning ahead of time.
