Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 17th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Monday night/Tuesday very early morning.
With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the rest of the day 😉
Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we 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, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday early afternoon, at 1:15pm EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 24.5° of Cancerbecomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build the moment the Moon entered Cancer, last week, Saturday early afternoon (Oct.15th). The Moon in protective, nurturing Cancer makes a challenging aspect to the Sun harmony-oriented, idealistic Libra.
This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. This Moon phase brings us closer to Oct. 25th, which will bring a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Scorpio.
With this particular last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what was started around the time of the last Solar Eclipse — in this case, around April 30th, 2022. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What have you discovered since late April/early May? What did it mean for you?
As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, or Aries? 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 since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.
Monday late afternoon, at 4:56pm EDT,we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 8 hours, until 12:45am EDT (Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.
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 late afternoon until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.
Monday early evening, a somewhat challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early evening on; it will remain strong until Tuesday early evening. This aspect 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 in order to see what needs adjusting.
We may have an unrealistic sense of our ability to relate right now and be attracted to others based on inaccurate perceptions — and on incorrect appraisals of who we are and where we are going.
We might also get confused when we aren’t able to connect with others in harmonious ways. The key is genuine self-acceptance; we allow that, our range of love expression increases.
It’s also worthwhile to look at how our ideas are received by others: Can we involve them in our dreams? As best as you can, slow down and trust the process: “If a thing is worth having, it’s worth waiting for.” Just for right now, could you simply have faith that everything will align eventually?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of Libra or Pisces? 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 Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).
Also, on Monday early evening, a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 6:05pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Oct. 14th) on; it will remain strong until this week, Thursday evening. This aspect lets us know that we could create one-on-one relationships that support open-minded communication and exchanges. This becomes possible if we simply bring conscious awareness to our actions and create fair collaborations that lead to win-win outcomes.
It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others. We have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed.
We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life.
When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-28 degrees of Libra, Gemini, or Aquarius? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo, Mars rules Aries).

This week’s headline items: Mercury (now direct) re-enters Libra on Monday late evening; on Saturday, Eclipse Season begins, and Mars starts to slow down (station) – preparing for its Retrograde phase; Saturn also starts to slow down (station) on Sunday; Mercury ends its post-Shadow phase on Sunday night/Monday very early morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for 7 hours), Wednesday early evening (for almost 7.5 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for 12 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, a last gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 10th:
Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries until 5:04pm EDT. 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 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.
Monday late morning, a Venus/Chiron opposition becomes exact at 9:15am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Oct. 7th) on; it will remain strong until this week, Wednesday evening. This opposition asks us to create a balance between the healing process of our masculine energies, and our various one-on-one relationships.
We may feel insecure around others at this time; we need to first heal our own deep fears of not being “good enough”, learning to love ourselves — and then seeing how we can meet our partners halfway. As best as you can, bring the gift of compassion, understanding and forgiveness to your own insecurities or feelings of unworthiness — then gift that to others.
Ask yourself: Might being more accepting of myself despite (or even including) my self-doubt make me a more compassionate collaborator and ally?
If you feel triggered by someone else (or vice versa), direct compassion and kindness towards both of you as best as you can. Ask yourself: Is this connected to my past or upbringing? What if this were an opportunity to embrace my wounded inner child with love and kindness? What about embracing someone else’s wounded inner child?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer, or Capricorn. 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 or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).
Monday late morning, at 10:02am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for 7 hours, until 5:04pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, follow your inner compass and take care of your own needs; on the other hand, deepen your authentic connection to whatever you are building long-term.
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 late morning until the early evening ahead of time.
Monday early evening, at 5:04pm EDT, the Moon enters steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. 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 next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday late evening, at 7:51pm EDT,Mercury re-enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Oct. 29th. Due to its September retrograde, Mercury already journeyed through the early degrees of Libra between Aug. 25th and Sept. 23rd.
Think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any conversations that I need to revisit? Is there any new information or thoughts (especially in connection with justice, or being objective about a relationship) that came through during that period that now need to be processed?
For the next 19 days, our thinking shifts gears: We are more likely now to see things from multiple points of view and to think in abstractions, this helps us be objective.
We have a strong sense of justice and look for ways to make compromises. We speak and act diplomatically; this comes from our desire for harmony, peace, diplomacy, win/win outcomes. We feel better when we are not pressured into making quick decisions. Very probably, the two things we will most avoid at this time are confrontations and emotional intensity.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need for justice and fairness. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Libra? If so, you will most likely feel chattier for the next 19 days.

On Oct. 9th, at 4:55pm EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 16.5 degrees of Aries — the Moon’s entry into Aries on Saturday late morning (Oct. 8th), started the build-up towards this Full Moon. The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries makes an opposition to the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra.
Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body”, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. This is especially true for this particular Full Moon — for much of this month, we are invited to direct our attention toward deeper self-care and more authentic connections to our emotional bodies. If you are a site Member, you may also want to watch my video on the subject.

Pluto and Mercury are no longer retrograde at the time of the Full Moon; in fact, Pluto in Capricorn changes directions less than 24 hours before the Full Moon becomes exact. This makes the powerful dwarf planet highly exalted for this Lunation.
Pluto represents an aspect of our higher Self that desires our greatest empowerment; we are asked to trust the process that brings this about. For that reason, Pluto might ask us to confront our worst fears, face our darkness and pain, and surrender our personal will to that of higher guidance. Trust is key! Becoming aware of (and letting go of) defensive, obsessive, protective, or controlling behaviors serves us. Only then can the outcome be greater empowerment and passion for life.
Ask yourself: What is my relationship to power? Do I distinguish between the power that comes from within versus that which is connected to external components?
Denying or suppressing our pain, darkness, and fears will keep us behaving from an unconscious place and feeling disempowered. We will continue to blame others for our experiences and thereby give our power away to those who are happy to take it from us.
We are being invited to learn that true power comes from within — from knowing and accepting the truth, facing the dark, and making the unconscious conscious. Pluto’s exalted energy prompts us to seek ways to step into our power and become more alive from within.
Mercury is now back in Virgo; it starts moving forward againon Oct. 2nd, making aprolonged Trine-aspect to the exalted Plutoin Capricorn. This trine was already active at the time of the New Moon in Libra, but unlike last time, both planets will no longer be retrograde. This makes it easier to implement some of the things we have already thought about (and perhaps even journaled about).
Trines are harmonious aspects, so we have a chance here to be more grounded and realistic when analyzing information or thoughts — and also in our communications and convictions. Empowerment of self and others is key when it comes to our daily routines and our long-term goals!
Our analytical mind and problem-solving abilities support our strong desire for emotional authenticity and being truthful about what we want to build long-term out there in the world.
Ask yourself: How has the practice of trusting “my process” been supporting my connection with myself and my higher Self? What have I been able to release around fears and thoughts of scarcity? Am I ready to implement some of the ideas and strategies (after Oct. 8th) that have come up in the past ten days?
Now let’s talk about the Full Moon polarity, in this case, the Aries/Libra polarity, which directs our awareness to…

All of this is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 14-19 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn. Personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC (aka Career Point).

This week’s headline items: Mercury (now in Virgo) ends its Station phase on Friday; Pluto comes to a halt, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase, on Saturday evening; and the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday late afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for 6.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for 14 hours), and Saturday morning (for almost 5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, two gentle reminders…
1 => Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum! ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum at the end of this week…please see the end of this Weekly Forecast for more info!
An EARLY BIRD SPECIAL is available until midnight Wednesday, Oct. 5th!
To ask a question in advance; please email me by Oct. 7th 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).
2 => I will also be leading a Zoom webinar on the upcoming Eclipse season (for OMA Pittsburgh), next Tuesday, Oct. 11th, at 7pm EDT.
Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricornall day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very 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” 😉
Monday early morning, we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key 😉 (Moon in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 3:57am EDT)
Monday late morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people, and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment. We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable. (Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 10:37am EDT)
Monday afternoon, we are invited to make 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 connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant. (Moon in Capricorn quincunxes Mars in Gemini, exact at 3:12pm EDT)
Monday evening, we have an opportunity to soften our need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach. (Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces, exact at 7:31pm EDT)
Monday late evening, at 11:49pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last 6.5 hours, until 6:20am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. We might get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care 😉
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 late evening until Tuesday morning ahead of time.

This week’s headline items: Mercury slows down (stations) again on Tuesday as it prepares to end its Retrograde phase Sunday. Venus changes signs from Virgo to Libra early Thursday morning. It’s time to take actions on our New Moon intentions from Friday on. Pluto’s Station intensifies on Saturday; Mercury comes to a halt and begins its post-Shadow phase early Sunday morning; Sunday evening, the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early afternoon (for 7 hours), Thursday early evening (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday early evening (for almost 10 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement…
To learn more about how I can best serve you, I will send out a brief survey to my Members this week.
To thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey, I am offering a $30 discount on any of my Readings or Coaching sessions to anyone who completes it; the discount can be applied at any time.
I will also enter everyone’s names into a RAFFLE, with a One-Hour Reading as the First Prize, a 25-minute Reading for the Second Prize, and a webinarof your choice from my webinar page as the Third Prize.
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libraall day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite now, as we seek the approval of others.
We want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.
Today and tomorrow (until 7:15pm) are an excellent time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more quickly 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 an excellent time for anything related to visual arts.
Monday very early morning, a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:46am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.
This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we’ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning, and strategy — as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.
Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the “love of your life”.
One thing is for sure — relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.
We will investigate the upcoming Pluto’s Station Direct phase in Capricorn (Oct. 8th) & Eclipse season (starting on Oct. 15th) — in relation to our own birth charts — in my next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 8th. Where are you being asked to transform? To trust the universal process? ==> Register here now (unless you are already a Star Member — in that case, you are automatically registered and will receive the link to join live on Oct. 7th and the recording of the live event on Oct. 8th).
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn, or Taurus? 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 Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Monday early afternoon, aMercury/Venus alignment in 27º of Virgo, becomes exact at 1:59pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening on, and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This is an excellent time to start sharing about art projects (or anything arts-related —visual arts perhaps) and any teaching endeavors. This alignment indicates an ability to communicate from the heart — and in fact, connecting to people we have an affinity with is essential.
We want to feel able to connect in a harmonious, peaceful manner and communicate on an equal footing. We tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time and want to be in touch with people who meet us half-way. In general, we are very agreeable and enjoy socializing. We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word — literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations — especially if connected to our health and wellbeing.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 0 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, Taurus, or Libra (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).
Monday afternoon, a Sun/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 3:33pm EDT. We have been feeling this aspect build since last week, Friday evening (Sept. 23rd), and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about life, relationships — and enjoy the optimism.
Ask yourself: Who (or what) could motivate me to be more assertive in my relationships (business or personal)? Could I simply try out something new? What or who inspires me to try that?
The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach — and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and slow down whenever you can. Also, use humor 🙂
Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I slowed down, just for a moment? What’s the bigger picture that I can perceive then?
Think back to March 5th, 2022, when the Sun last aligned (conjunct) with Jupiter in Pisces, and ask yourself: What was started then? What seeds did I plant around intuitive knowing, going with the flow, and trusting life? What might I see if I expanded my perspective around my interconnectedness with the Universe? Have those seeds sprouted since then? What’s my attitude now? What still needs to change?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 1-7 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday all day & night, is our time to set New Moon Intentions for this month — if you haven’t already done so on Sunday evening. If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon

I had never heard about how to use the complete Mercury Retrograde cycle, from shadow to retro and back again so powerfully. I’m definitely looking at this retrograde and future ones differently. Thanks!” — Jaz M.
“Thank you everyone for sharing your time and your energy with me today. And, Sonja, wonderful leadership as always” — Cathy E.

"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!"
