Greater Emotional Responsibility & Self-Alignment

This week’s headline items: Uranus’ Station has us feeling its energies at a greater intensity all week. On Monday, the Full Moon in Cancer becomes exact, and Mercury’s Station phase ends. On Tuesday, Uranus goes direct — ending its Retrograde — and the Moon Nodes switch from Gemini/Sagittarius to Taurus/Scorpio. On Wednesday, the Sun changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius and Venus starts to slow down (station), slowly coming to the end of her Retrograde phase. Last but not least, on Sunday, Venus’ station intensifies as the planet slows down even further.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 4 hours); Thursday very early morning (for almost 6 hours); and Saturday afternoon (for almost 2.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 17th:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 11:03pm EST. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.

Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it — otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies.

Monday evening, at 6:48pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 28 degrees of Cancer. The entrance of the Moon into Cancer late in the morning of Jan. 15th began the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon. Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business-relationships. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to click here and watch my Full Moon video for more details.

Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart — Mercury and Venus are both Retrograde, while Uranus is exalted, and will come to a halt only 15.5 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact. Neptune supports the integration of the Full Moon polarity, while Pluto intensifies it; Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) aligns with Mercury in Aquarius, and both square an exalted Uranus in Taurus… and all play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics in regards to all of these planets in a moment.

But first, let’s talk about this month’s Full Moon: This Lunation shows us how well we are doing with self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also where we are in connection to greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.

Ask yourself: What’s my relationship to self-care and where do I feel most “at home”? What’s my understanding of my emotional needs? How might an emotional connection to myself and loved ones be of benefit to me? How might it shift my priorities?

Cancer is the first of the water signs and is therefore emotional and mercurial (like a river or a stream). Feelings are real, but may not always seem rational… until we can identify the underlying, unmet need connected to a particular feeling.

We all have needs — a need for love or approval, for control (or for not feeling out of control — this can also show up as our need for autonomy and independence), for safety and security, for human connection (or a heart connection) to a living being.

Our feelings reflect whether our needs are being met. Feeling happy, peaceful, and open indicates that our needs are being met. When we feel “negative emotions” (e.g. stressed, depressed, angry/frustrated, etc.) it’s clear that at least one important need is not being met.

If you are feeling any of the latter emotions, ask yourself: Which of my needs is not being met at this time? Am I lacking (and therefore “wanting”) approval, love, control, safety, or security? Am I wanting to feel connected, closer, or do I want to be separate? And whichever one it is, could I let go of “wanting” that, just for this “now-moment”? 

In other words, could I let go of the idea that I am lacking something? Would I? In other words, am I willing to let go, just as best as I can, just for right now? When? (This last question is an invitation to let go right here, right now).

By the way, if you enjoyed those questions, or are intrigued, they come from The Sedona Method – a set of processes I use extensively in my coaching work, that is very subtle and powerful. For more info about my Coaching-Healing sessions, click here.

Now, let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon… to read the whole Full Moon article and get access to all the Coaching Questions in writing, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 26-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, and Libra or 0 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Taurus? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Also on Monday evening, at 6:48pm EST as the Full Moon becomes exact, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for a little over 4 hours, until 11:03pm EST. You may be feeling a need for the familiar and comfortable, for emotional connection and the nurturing of a safe home life — while also experiencing a desire to accomplish career goals, worldly accomplishments and success, and even worldly status. Use this intuitive time to balance those needs.

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 all of Monday evening ahead of time.

Monday late evening, at 11:03pm EST, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Thursday morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

Also, on Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its Station — but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).

We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks — especially those connected to like-minded people, groups, and networks (locally or online). How can you stay curious and open-minded about thoughts that come through from your inner genius? How might you honor your own unique thoughts?

You can also ask yourself: What needs to be addressed with regards to any group experiences, humanitarian causes, or technology? What do I need to learn about my affiliations with like-minded people over the next 8 days? If I knew I actually could make a difference, where would I begin?

Live Out Your Dream

This week’s headline items: on Monday, Mercury starts to slow down (i.e. station) — on Friday, it will come to a halt and begin its 3-week Retrograde phase in Aquarius. Uranus’s Station intensifies on Tuesday.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7 hours); Wednesday afternoon (for 7.5 hours); and Friday late evening (for almost 14 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention two important things:

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 10th:

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 9:47am EST; at that time the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. 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, an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 10:28pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (Jan. 8th) on, and it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening.  This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us, and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to bring a sense of flow and faith to long-term plans.

Our capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now — any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well — and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.

Remember that this is an “opportunity” — it isn’t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, or Scorpio? 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).

Also, on Monday: Mercury starts to slow down (“station”) in 9/10º Aquarius, preparing to come to a halt on Jan 14th at 10º of Aquarius (when it will begin its 3-week Retrograde phase). More on that on Friday. This station will last until Jan. 17th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury’s energies more strongly. 

For the next 7 days, we need to be patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.

We might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready, or travel somewhere — especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, click here)

Be extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Feb. 24th, when the post-Shadow phase is over.

Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 7-12 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio.

Attuned to the Subtleties of Human Interaction

This week’s headline items: Jupiter’s Square to the Moon Nodes becomes exact on Monday morning; it is still time to set out New Moon Intentions on Monday and Tuesday; Uranus starts to slow down again (station) on Thursday; it is time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions on Friday; the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday early afternoon.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 6 hours); Tuesday evening (for 23.5 hours); and Friday late afternoon (for 7 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention these two things one more time:

1. On January 8th at 11:30am EST/4:30pm London time, I will give a Look Ahead for All of 2022! This webinar is a Special Event, and therefore not included in the monthly Forecasting Forum series.

Everyone will have access to the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL of this webinar (only $27) until Jan. 5th at midnight EST! 

==> Click here for more info and/or to register

“I truly know the world is a better place with Sonja here, talking to us individually and in groups, broadcasting and connecting everyone with what’s important and with compassion.” — Ari F.

2. My BIG 2-week Sale on my website is starting this week, on Saturday!!!! From Jan. 8th-23rd, everything will be discounted, and I mean, EVERYTHING! Watch out for the Discount Coupon and a Bonus Gift on Saturday, Jan. 8th!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 3rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn until 5:44pm EST. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it 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 aspect, 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” 😉

If you haven’t set your New Moon Intentions yet, today (Monday) until 11:21am EST and then after 5:44pm EST is still time to do so during the most potent time… 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 morning, Jupiter in Pisces squares the Moon Nodes in Gemini-Sagittarius. This becomes exact around 6:40am EST; however we have been feeling this Square since Dec. 18th on; and it will still be strong until Jan. 18th. This Square invites us to take a closer look at our belief system and social-cultural conditioning, open our hearts, and make choices accordingly.

Squares mark turning points — and this one is a turning point in our collective journey. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to see the bigger picture, and to grow beyond the collective narrative.

We are asked to look for solutions that stem from a deep understanding of oneness and interconnectedness with all that is alive on this planet. Ask yourself: What road might lead to greater heart connections? What might open up if I became more connected to the part of me that is pure love? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards human life and all its paradoxes?

Here are some more questions: What might it look like for me personally if the deepest perspective shift was not political, or scientific, but spiritual? What might promote a spiritual perspective around my connection to all of my surroundings? What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”?

To read more about Jupiter’s transit through Pisces, please also read some or all of my article: “Jupiter in Pisces 2021-2022” or for a deeper look in connection with your own birth chart, get my webinar: “Jupiter in Pisces 2021-.2022”  here

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Monday late morning, at 11:21am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for a little over 6 hours, until 5:44pm EST. 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 simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until early evening ahead of time.

Monday evening at 5:44pm EST, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius — and the planet is currently moving through Taurus, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our physical connection both to our own body and our finances — and to what is most important to us on this planet.

It’s also a great time to innovate and make changes in our lives around any physical matters that no longer serve us, or that keep us stuck in the past; we need to elevate our thinking if we want our bodies and the planet to vibrate at a higher frequency.

Ask yourself: Do I need to give my body something different to raise it to a higher vibration? When I tune in to myself, what insights does my body provide?

Where in my life have I become too rigid in connection with my body, my physical resources, or my talents? Where have I become too comfortable with those things? What is my connection to the Earth? To Nature? Do I need more physical space? More physical movement?
