Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 20th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 11:37pm 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, especially 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 until later this evening. This Moon placement also started the build-up to the last Quarter Moon, exact very late this evening.

Monday very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 3:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night (June 17th/18th), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we share what’s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.

This connection also creates a possibility of an expansion by stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and taking indicative. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.

As with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored? Are you ready to expand your mind? Your thinking?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-9 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Leo? If so, you will 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 Sagittarius (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Monday late evening, at 11:11pm EDT, the last Quarter Moon becomes exact in 29.5º of Pisces (an exalted degree). This is also the second last Quarter Moon in Pisces within the last four weeks. The first one was on May 22nd, towards the end of Eclipse season. Think back to that week (May 22nd – 29th), and ask yourself: What needed adjustment in my life back then?

The Moon in creative, sensitive Pisces makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in versatile, fast-thinking Gemini. This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed — and what needs to be changed.

This Moon phase brings us closer to the next New Moon in Cancer (on June 28th). As always, with the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What have you discovered since May 30th? What did it mean for you?

As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up between yourself and others — and for any internal conflicts.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 0-4 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius or 29 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this month’s last Quarter Moon quite 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).

At the same time as the last Quarter Moon becomes exact, we enter a brief Moon VoC, that will last for 26 mins, until 11:37pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to stretch and grow — to undertake a process of adjusting your thoughts. You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible, don’t rush into anything — and go within whenever possible.

See if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, allow for daydreaming, naps, or intuitive self-expression. 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 at 11:37pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday morning. 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.

Have Faith in Infinite Support from the Universe

This week’s headline items: Mercury re-enters Gemini on Monday late morning; the Full Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Tuesday morning; Neptune starts its Station phase in 25.5º of Pisces on Wednesday; Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase early Saturday evening; and on Sunday, Saturn’s Station phase finally ends (although the planet is now retrograde).

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 7 hours); Thursday afternoon (for 3 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 4 hours).

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

Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this week…please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

Or click here for more info and to register, for this month only.
(non-Members get access to this month’s Super Full Moon video when they register &
registration also includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!).

To ask a question in advance; please email me by June 17th by the end of the workday,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 13th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. 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 means 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.

This Moon placement also starts the build towards the upcoming Full Moon in Sagittarius (exact tomorrow morning, Tuesday) — feel free to watch my video on the subject, or read my Full Moon article here!

Monday late morning, at 11:27am EDT, Mercury re-enters chatty, versatile Gemini where it will journey until July 5th; due to its recent Retrograde phase, it was already in Gemini from April 29th until May 22nd. 

Think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any conversations that I need to revisit? Was there any information (especially in connection with learning or understanding something) that I wanted to go after?

For the next 3 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: Mercury — the energy of communication — will pick up the pace of our lives just a little.

Mental exchanges and abilities take priority for the next 3 weeks — talking, writing, sharing, and connecting to the world around us in whatever way we can (internet, phone, in person, TV, radio…). This is a time with great potential for studying and learning, curiosity and open-mindedness, and social/intellectual growth.

Make sure you don’t exhaust yourself during this time. As best as you can, keep taking breaks and let yourself see the larger picture now and again. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the pick up in pace more strongly.

Monday evening, we have lots of energy and a positive attitude towards life. As best as you can, start something you feel passionate or enthusiastic about — what projects come to mind? What would be a fantastic use for all the physical energy that you have currently access to?  (Moon in Sagittarius trines Mars in Aries, exact at 6:05pm EDT)

Also on Monday evening, we might find ourselves wanting to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart, aimed at a renewing our enthusiasm for life. We are capable of being 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 7:57pm EDT)

Monday late evening, we experience a need for 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 mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need for breakthroughs or change connected to the physical plane.

We need to ask ourselves here: What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable? Or 5% more comfortable embracing uncertainty? (Moon in Sagittarius quincunxes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 9:40pm EDT)

An Opportunity for Self-Healing

This week’s headline items: Saturn will still be exalted (stationing) all week; Venus moves over the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th, 2022) on Monday morning; the first Quarter Moon in Virgo is exact on Tuesday late morning; on Saturday, Mercury ends its Station phase and goes direct.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: the first couple of hours of Monday are taken up with a VoC that started the previous day (it lasts until 2:22am EDT Monday). Other VoC phases this week: Wednesday morning (for a little over 3 hours); Friday early afternoon (just over 3 hours), and a brief one on Sunday early evening (50 minutes).

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

Next week Saturday, on June 18th, will be our next Forecasting Forum — please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

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

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 6th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo & VoC until 2:22am EDT.  If you are awake before 2:22am EDT, use the remainder of this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space for creative self-expression and fun, and also for talking, learning, or writing about physical pleasures and what is most important to you on the physical plane.

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, at 2:22am EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning; 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.

This Moon placement also begins the build-up to the first Quarter Moon, exact on Tuesday late morning.

Monday early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (June 3rd), and it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (June 9th). This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and bring us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.

We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths — how might this be true for you?

Until Thursday morning (June 9th), as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities — so “opportunities” are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow — we have to “take” them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-18 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Leo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. 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).

Monday morning, around 7:30am EDT, Venus reaches 10.5 degrees of Taurus; she aligns with the degree of April 30th’s Solar Eclipse.

This might trigger some relationship or self-worth issues connected to our personal preferences, or financial resources we have (or lack); these will need to be addressed over the next 5 months.

The key here is to heighten awareness of two things: First, how can we be open to more heartfelt interactions around our Soul’s journey and whatever is next for us?

Second: how else could we tap more into our heart energy to feel more abundant and stable? What messages are we receiving today that might deliver a better understanding of this process? What needs to be addressed? Particularly around honoring ourselves and our talents? How about in terms of our finances?

May 30th – June 5th

Give Yourself Extra Time

This week’s headline items: Saturn’s Station phase in Aquarius remains at an intensified level all week; the New Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Monday morning; Mercury’s Station in Taurus intensifies on Tuesday before it goes direct on Friday early morning and begins its post-Shadow phase; Saturn comes to a halt on Saturday early evening as it starts its 4.5-month Retrograde phase; it’s time to start to take action on our New Moon intentions on Saturday evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 10 hours); Friday late morning (a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday evening (a little over 7 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 30th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. For the next 1.5 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 🙂

Monday morning, at 7:30am EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 9 degrees of Gemini; this marks not only the beginning of a new Moon cycle, but we are also no longer in Eclipse Season. I also recommend you watch my New Moon video on the subject.

One major thing to note in this New Moon chart is that we have 2 planets in their Station phases — and therefore exalted)— and one of those two planets is also the ruler of this New Moon! As such, something is “in our face” in regards to the energies of Mercury & Saturn, demanding our attention and awareness; I will talk more about all of this below, but first, let’s look at the Gemini influence of this New Moon:

Gemini is the archetype of curiosity, communication in all its forms, and mental connections — it represents the development of language and intelligence, as well as our ability to adapt and relate to our immediate environment.

This is a “busy” energy focused on collecting information. We are invited to look at our mental programming and conditioned mind to see what needs to go — and what new thought structures we might want to engage with.

Since Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) is still in its Retrograde motion until June 3rd, we may need to go over thoughts and information collected before May 10th (the start of the retrograde phase), and engage with new thought structures and information after June 18th (once Mercury has exited its Shadow phase).

Here are some questions you can ask yourself for this New Moon: What motivates me to learn? When I talk to myself about sharing or processing information, what do I typically say? What do I say to myself about being connected to others? About my intellectual capacities? In what area of my life am I a student? A teacher? Am I sometimes both, depending on the day?

The spiritual goal of Gemini is the development of perception, thought, and communication; we are therefore invited to become aware of all the new connections created in the brain with each new thought or memory — and the more we think particular thoughts, the deeper the associated pathways become.

So, ask yourself: What mental paths do I keep heading down, even though I know I don’t need to go there anymore? What if I brought 5% more curiosity to my “self-listening”? Or when connecting with others?

The New Moon sextiles the Jupiter/Mars alignment in Aries; let’s talk a little bit about that planetary alignment first, before we address the Sextile to the New Moon:

Mars’ energy combines with Jupiter’s expansiveness to increase our enthusiasm, liveliness, and optimism. In Aries, this combo is quite fiery — so this could prove a very productive and busy time, particularly when it comes to things we feel passionate about, or strongly identify with.

Feel free to also watch my webinar on the subject, if you haven’t seen it yet — we looked at our own birth charts in connection with those planetary movements, to see how each one of us is personally impacted by this. Click here for more info.

Now, the Sextile of this alignment to the New Moon gives us an opportunity to… To read the whole New Moon article and get access to all of the Coaching questions, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces?  If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.

So, this month, any time between 7:30am (on Monday) and 4:10pm (on Tuesday) would be best, then again from 1:49am until 7:30am (on Wednesday) — please note that all times are given in Eastern Daylight Time — the time zone New York City occupies.

For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here

Monday evening, 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 8:19pm EDT)
