This week’s headline items: Mars and Neptune remain exalted all week; as a matter of fact, Mars’ Station phase intensifies on Tuesday, and it comes to a halt on Friday evening, starting its 2.5-month Retrograde phase. It’s time to set our New Moon Intentions on Monday (either in the morning or late afternoon), and we can start to take action on those New Moon Intentions early Friday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius very early Saturday, and Neptune comes to a halt that evening, ending its 5-month Retrograde. Lastly, there will be a first Quarter Moon in Pisces late Sunday morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for almost 5.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for almost 5 hours), and Friday evening (for almost 10 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
‼️SORRY TO SAY THAT TODAY’s SOULIVITY PODCAST/ RADIO SHOW GOT POSTPONED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES‼️ We will try and reschedule this show, so you can still watch it. As soon as I have a new date and time, I will let you all know!
==> We’ll discuss the perfect gifts for each zodiac sign and explain what they like best & why!
**You can watch this show live on YouTube (or later as a recording), and if you live in California, you can listen to the live radio broadcast on KMET Radio (98.1FM) at 8am PST.
Monday,the Moon remains inoptimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 4:09pm EST. 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 must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired and have a high degree of independence. Combined, these influences make us prefer to inspire others to do things our way rather than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Monday in the late morning, a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:43am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (Nov. 29th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdayevening (Dec. 4th). This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual.
We are ready to experiment — but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude, and people are more willing to socialize.
This is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving technology and the Internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities.
We lose our fear of taking risks now, so this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes — or, at the very least, a surprising one.
Ask yourself: How could I implement revolutionary business or social practices that support my current values and make life more enjoyable for everyone who interacts with me socially or does business with me?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)
Monday at 10:47am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 5.5 hours until 4:09pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor 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 slow down a little.
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 morning until the last afternoon ahead of time.
Monday before10:47am EST and after 4:09pm EST, will still be the best and most potent time to set your New Moon Intentions. If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — to (re-)watch my New Moon video: click here
Monday at 4:09pm EST, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious, which can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges, requiring structure and planning. When you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes even more important to us.
As best as you can during this time, 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, 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?

This week’s headline items: Mars and Neptune remain exalted all week; Mercury comes to a halt on Monday evening, starting its 3-week Retrograde phase; the Balsamic Moon phase begins Tuesday night; Mercury’s Station phase ends on Friday (while remaining in its retrograde phase); Neptune’s Station intensifies on Saturday, and very early Sunday, the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 6:20am EST; Wednesday early morning (for a little over 15 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for 6.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, one last gentle reminder…
BLACK FRIDAY PRE-SALE ends on Thursday at midnight EST!!!
Monday,the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo and VoCuntil 6:20am EST. Until then, we have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
And if you are awake before 6:20am EST, use it to balance head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition.
Monday at6:20am EST,the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.
These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.
We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No”
One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
Monday at 9:42pm EST, Mercury comes to a halt at 22º43′ of Sagittarius to start its last Retrograde phase of the year, slowing things down tremendously until Thursday, Nov. 28th!
With Mercury being Retrograde, its energy feels stronger inside of us, helping us recognize what is out of alignment and pointing to how we can begin realigning ourselves with the outside world, starting from within.
We can ask ourselves: If I examine my attitudes towards life, what do I find? How about my attitude toward others? What beliefs or narratives need to be revisited or released?
Did I make any significant decisions in the past 3 months? What are my perspectives on those decisions now? What needs to be reconsidered?
This Retrograde phase will end on Dec. 15th (reaching 6º24’ of Sagittarius at that time). People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one’s life during these times.
Between now and Dec. 15th, we have an opportunity to reevaluate our beliefs, narratives, attitudes, and awareness of our biases and social/cultural conditioning.
We also get a chance to look at the bigger picture of our lives and human existence, allowing us to address anything that requires a new perspective or attitude.
This is also a chance to readdress anything from the past that felt out of alignment and is now ready to be cleared or changed. Take time to investigate your own thought processes: What feels too busy to me? What if I got really clear about that?
For the next 3 weeks, we get a chance to connect with our inner dialog and carefully examine our thinking and communication. Watch out for being too optimistic or impatient.
As mentioned above, certain things may take longer — but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from being in alignment with the outer world — especially things that came up since Nov. 7th (when Mercury entered its pre-Shadow phase).
We are ready to reconsider, reinvestigate, or re-communicate any connections, thoughts, or conversations initiated since Nov. 7th. Ask yourself: What has emerged since then aroundbeliefs, narratives, attitudes, and social-cultural conditioning?
What still needs my attention or reconsideration? Am I still aligned with what I want to explore about life? Where do I need to open my mind and be more generous? Where might I add a dash of humor?
How might exploration, contemplation, or philosophy broaden my conception of my role on Earth and benefit my mental well-being?
We may also get to reorganize any data or information accumulated over the last three months since the last Mercury Retrograde phase (that ended on August 28th, 2024). It’s time to rethink, retool, and release what is no longer in alignment.
During a Mercury Retrograde phase, read the small print, re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something), or ask another person for a second opinion…
During these periods, it’s best to be aware of any details we might have overlooked, check in with our intuition, and stay open to renegotiation or adjustments down the line! In general, Mercury Retrograde is an excellent time for re-evaluating and re-organizing.
This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions, particularly those made in the two weeks leading up to the start of the retrograde. It’s also applicable to our lives in general: we can gain a deeper understanding of what we choose to believe and which beliefs may need to change.
Reconnecting with friends, clients, neighbors, spiritual advisors, professors, and family members, especially siblings, is favored at this time.
Mercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this is also experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write, and hear is the same as the intended meaning — and use the spell-checker
Another thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart? Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey?
The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life — which are affected by this retrograde?
If you are familiar with your natal chart — take a look at your natal Mercury and where Sagittarius lands in your chart to see how this might play out for you.
As with any retrograde, some of us will be more affected than others, depending on how it interacts with our personal chart.
If you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or any personal planets in 4-24 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, you will be more affected by this particular Retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have a Gemini or Virgo Sun- or Rising-sign (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo).

Before we dive in, I just wanted to mention briefly two things that may be of interest to you:
Firstly, I am excited to say that we have another Soulivity Today Show:“Hot Astrology with Sonja”, which will air on Dec. 6th at 8am EST ==> We willdiscuss the perfect gifts for each zodiac sign and explain what they like best and why!
You can watch this show live on YouTube (or later as a recording), and if you live in California, you can listen to the radio broadcast on KMET Radio (98.1FM) at 8am PST.
In fact, you can listen to Soulivity Today on any of six radio stations across five of the biggest US media markets (Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, and Seattle) — plus more than 15 podcast and streaming platforms.
Secondly, you can still get a 44% discount on my Readings until Nov. 28th at 11:59pm EST! Take advantage of that while you can! Get yourself and your loved ones whatever you need to start 2025 off right!
Mercury is all about communication, collecting & processing information, our inner dialog, and our decision-making process.
During the Retrograde phase, until Dec. 15th, we are invited to reevaluate and reorganize our thoughts and any information we have absorbed or received in the last three months.
Ask yourself: Did I make any significant decisions in the past three months? What are my perspectives on those decisions now? What needs to be reconsidered? What needs to shift?
This combo urges us to re-examine our beliefs and their impact on our lives. It invites us to examine our direct experience, see what’s true now, and move forward only once we have…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 7-12 degrees ofSagittarius, 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 inLeoorCancer(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. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
So this month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be any time between 1:21am on Dec. 1st and 10:47am on Dec. 2nd; then again from 4:09pm (Dec. 2nd) until 1:21am on Dec. 3rd — New York Time/US Eastern Time
Note that there is a Moon void of course on Monday — it runs from 10:47am EST until 4:09pm EST. Don’t set your intentions during those 5.5 hours — instead, tune in and allow your intuition to connect to the powerful energies of this New Moon while you wait.
If you live outside the EST timezone (i.e. US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook Page, follow me on Twitter or Instagram. I will post reminderson Dec. 1st and 2nd to let you know when it is the most potent time to set your intentions.
This week’s headline items: Pluto makes its final move into Aquarius on Tuesday afternoon. Multiple planets will start to slow down (station) this week: Mercury does so on Wednesday night, as the planet gets ready for its last Retrograde phase of the year; Neptune slows down on Sunday, as it readies itself to end a 5-month Retrograde. Mars will be exalted, starting on Saturday, as it prepares for an upcoming 11-week Retrograde phase in Leo-Cancer — and Saturn ends its station phase. Lastly, there will also be a Last Quarter Moon in Virgo on Friday evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 3:50am EST; Wednesday morning (for 2.5 hours); Friday morning (almost 10 hours); and Sunday night (for almost 6 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

“Thank you so much, Sonja! So informative! ❤️❤️❤️” — Brittany G. — Please know that this webinar is only availableuntil Dec. 13th!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 18th:
Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains inchatty, versatile Gemini and VoCuntil 3:50am EST. Until then, if you are awake, “busy” feels good, as does connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way.
You may also need to make some adjustments; as best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
Monday at 3:50am EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.
Self-care is key for the next two days! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.
Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday early morning, a Mercury/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 3:55am EST. We started to feel this aspect build Friday early morning(Nov. 15th); it will remain strong until Thursdayevening (Nov. 21st). This opposition asks us to balance what we think we need to learn or share against our desire to expand our current perspective or life philosophies.
On the one hand, we seek new perspectives and approaches regarding information exchanges, learning, and teaching — and on the other hand, we want to explore our minds and confer with others to see what’s possible when we zoom out and see the bigger picture.
Learning more about our own beliefs or biases when interacting with others can be a powerful driver of personal growth right now.
Ask yourself: How open can I allow myself to be towards my own thinking processes, narratives, and beliefs? What might I observe if I remained curious about their origins?
Something to be aware of: We may get self-righteous and favor being “right” over being happy.
What might happen if I ascribed 5% less meaning and importance to any of my thoughts or beliefs? Could I allow myself to experiment with this until Nov. 21st?
We generally feel optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach — perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating.
We might be inclined to exaggerate and then have difficulty putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be hilarious and interesting at this time …
Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways, perhaps by asking ourselves: How might learning something new and exploring something beyond my typical daily interactions impact my thinking? If I stepped way back from “the canvas”, what “bigger picture” would I see?
Impatience could likely be a side-effect of this aspect as well… Take an “observer” position toward your mind as best as you can: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking!
Listening can be an art form that provides access to our inner wisdom, so do your best to practice listening to yourself, others, and your nervous system.
Mercury last aligned with Jupiterin early June (in Gemini). Think back to that time: what began in early June? What seeds were planted? What new perspectives or approaches did you take in your interactions with others?
What has developed since? What life philosophies could support you in moving beyond where you were in early June?
In other words, what has emerged since June regarding your approaches to mental stimulation or exchanges? How about teaching or learning something that supports your own or other people’s self-growth?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this opposition more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).
Monday evening, a harmonious Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 9:07pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday early morning(Nov. 16th) on; it will remain strong until Thursdayevening (Nov. 21st).
This aspect could be tremendously supportive when it comes to dissolving what no longer serves us — especially anything that relates to traumas from the past and fears that keep us stuck or disconnected from others or that simply keep us from a fully passionate life.
Our intuition, imagination, and inspiration seem “zeroed in”. We go beyond “tolerance” to lovingly embrace differences in others and give where it’s needed with open hearts and hands. This also feeds into any creative and spiritual endeavors that start around this time.
Ask yourself: what am I ready to release that has kept me from living a passionate life? Who am I ready to forgive? Do I make it onto that list?
What if forgiveness wasn’t even a requirement? What if I could simply move on because I understand the power of acceptance and compassion towards myself and others?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 24-29 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces,Cancer, or 0 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries, or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).

This week’s headline items: Saturn remains exalted all week, coming to a halt on Friday late morning at almost 13º of Pisces to end its 4.5-month Retrograde phase; Venus changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Monday afternoon; the Full Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Friday late afternoon; Pluto enjoys its very last days in Capricorn before changing signs next Tuesday.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 13 minutes), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 9 minutes), Saturday early morning (for 6 minutes), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 4.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
This week’s Forecasting Forum will be live on Friday, Nov. 15th at 1pm EST/6pm London-time.
And…. if you missed my Soulivity Today Podcast/Radio Show last Friday ==>watch the replay here!
We discussed November’s energies and how to prepare for the last Mercury Retrograde of the year!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 11th:
Monday is quite the day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in creative, sensitive Piscesall day. It will journey there until tonight/Tuesday very early morning (Nov. 11th/12th). This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that 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 an excellent time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”.
Monday morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 6:08am EST. We started to feel this aspect build Sunday morning(Nov. 10th); it will remain strong until Tuesdaymorning (Nov.12th).
This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed to see what needs adjusting.
This aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward more profound, more authentic emotional connections with others and ourselves; the other leads to a greater understanding of our mind and how our mental exchanges with others determine our understanding of life.
There isn’t a single “correct path,” as both routes can lead to a deeper understanding of the themes at hand. However, no matter which direction you choose, it’s essential to remain open-minded throughout the journey. This is particularly important if you find yourself becoming overly enthusiastic with others, as it may hinder your ability to think clearly.
Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 18-21 degrees of Scorpio 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).
Monday at 1:26pm EST, Venus changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec. 6th/7th.
With this placement, our relationships tend to be more practical: We see people for who they are and are not afraid to lay the facts on the table; we take things more seriously.
We take our time warming up to others, appreciate maturity in relationships, and can make long-term commitments. There is a strong focus on business relationships.
Venus is also connected to finances and what we value; it’s thus a perfect time to get serious and make long-term plans in these areas: As best as you can, get real about what comes in and what goes out.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more serious and focused for the next 3.5 weeks; your heart will want to make practical, attainable long-term plans. If you are a Capricorn Sun or Rising sign, as long as Venus is in your sign, you will attract more love, abundance, and beauty.
Monday late afternoon, a somewhat challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:41pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build Sunday afternoon(Nov. 10th); it will remain strong until Tuesdayafternoon (Nov.12th).
This aspect also operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed to see what needs adjusting.
We may feel an internal dilemma around our ability to get things done — due to a drop in our self-confidence and self-esteem.
This could lead to us “hiding out,” leaving us feeling guilty, which leads to our behaving in weird ways — and we end up thinking, “Did I really just do that?”
As best as you can, be kind and compassionate with yourself — forgive yourself for having a human moment — this will support your healing process.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-21 degrees of Scorpio or Aries? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules of Leo).
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 1:13am EST, we enter a very brief Moon VoC that will last for 13 minutes, until 1:26am EST. 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.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 1:26am EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and enthusiastic about 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; 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.

On Nov. 15th at 4:28pm EST, the Full Moon in 24 degrees of Taurus becomes exact. We start to feel this Lunation build from the moment the Moon enters Taurus on Wednesday night (Nov. 13th/14th).
This is the fourth of four Super Full Moons in a row where the Moon is closer to the Earth, increasing its tidal and electromagnetic effects.
Before we start, just a gentle reminder that I have a Black Friday Pre-Sale coming up on Nov. 22nd, which will last until Nov. 28th (Thanksgiving Day) at 11:59pm EST.
Everyone can get a 44% discount for my Readings during that week, so definitely save those dates! And look out for the discount code! It will be available on my website on Nov. 22nd, and I will also send out reminder emails during that week 😉
All right, back to the Full Moon!
All Full Moons offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light — and they guide us away from polarization and division toward balance and integration.
Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices — and this particular Full Moon provides a double dose of that.
The Sun is in Scorpio and the Moon is in Taurus; not only that, but we are also dealing here with a Moon/Uranus alignment in Taurus — and with a highly exalted Saturn, who is coming to a halt on the day of the Full Moon to end its 4.5-month Retrograde phase. With Saturn’s direct turn, our responsibilities, what works and what doesn’t work for us, tend to magnify.
The Stationing Saturn is also the Focal Point a T-Square that involves Mercury in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Gemini! More about that in a moment.
You may recall that I talked a little about the Station phases component in the last New Moon video, and we will also address the exalted Saturn component in our next Forecasting Forum on Nov. 15th at 1pm EST/6pm GMT.
Feel free to join us, if you would like to know how Saturn’s Station direct phase will impact what comes next for you.
If you read this on or after Nov. 15th, you can also get the webinar: ”Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune — All Exalted! How can we handle this many exalted energies?”here.
That’s it for announcements and logistics; back to the Full Moon.
Let’s take a look at the Scorpio-Taurus polarity:
This Full Moon has a Taurus and a Scorpio component — Taurus spotlights our relationship to our physical body, what we value on the physical plane, and the planet we live on.
Scorpio highlights our relationship to emotional authenticity, intimacy/sexuality, empowerment/disempowerment, death/rebirth, endings/beginnings — Scorpio is asking us to recognize our deepest desires and truest motivations.
You can ask yourself with this Full Moon: What do I truly value? What deserves my attention, appreciation, and care?
Which of my values stem from social conditioning? What needs to change or be revised?
At its best, Scorpio is associated with transformation, and our capacity to shed what may have served us in the past but now hinders our growth.
We are indeed being asked to shed something in our life — a false belief, perhaps, or a “fake” identity or “way of being” — but it could also be a…

This week’s headline items: although Mars has moved into Leo, its opposition to Pluto remains strong all week. On Wednesday, it’s time to act on our New Moon Intentions, and Saturn in Pisces starts to slow down (station) again, getting ready to end its 4.5-month Retrograde phase. Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Thursday morning; the first Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on very early Saturday; and finally, Saturn’s Station intensifies on Sunday.

And just as a heads-up for next week: My next Forecasting Forum will be live on Friday, Nov. 15th at 1pm EST/6pm London.
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittariusall day. It will journey there until late Tuesday 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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 than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page. Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday early afternoon, a harmonious Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 12:36pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build Friday morning(Nov. 1st); it will remain strong until Thursdaylatemorning (Nov. 7th). Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart’s desires and our emotional needs right now.
We face life on life’s terms and feel up to doing so (especially regarding inner knowing and intimate connections).
Ask yourself: What might become possible if I surrounded my long-term plans with 5% more intuitive and passionate self-expression?
We can also bring a more mature approach to feeling empowered and whole by embracing all we are and releasing anything that keeps us small (fears, past traumas, emotional attachments, etc.)
How might a supportive “inner parent” help us become more whole and empowered? How might taking a more realistic and practical approach to our intuitive connection to all of life help us feel empowered and whole?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-16 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If any of those are true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect.
Mondaylate afternoon, we might want to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart to renew our enthusiasm for life. We can be compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best. (Moon in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 3:44pm EST)

"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.
