Our Consciousness Expands

This week’s headline items: Venus changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Monday early afternoon; it is finally time to set our Solar Eclipse Intentions on Monday afternoon; Mercury begins its Station phase in Gemini on Tuesday, and its Station intensifies from Friday onwards; last but not least, the first Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact on Sunday evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (for a brief 34 mins); Wednesday late afternoon (for 2.5 hours), and Saturday morning (for 1.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, please know:

We are still in Eclipse season until May 26th. If you’re looking for guidance, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart — the House placements of the Eclipses (10.5º of Taurus & 25º of Scorpio-Taurus) will indicate which areas of your life are the readiest to rise to a new level of consciousness.

==> If you need some help with that exploration, feel free to click here and get my webinar: “Eclipse Season & Pluto Station April-May 2022”.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 2nd:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 6:47am EDT. 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.

Monday early morning, at 6:13am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC, that will last only 34 minutes until 6:47am EDT. Use this short intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others in a gentle, compassionate way, and enjoy a good meal, a glass of wine, a massage… think “physical pleasures”.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.

Monday at 6:47am EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. For the next two 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 at 12:10pm EDT, Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, dreamy Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active Aries, where it will journey until May 28th.

Until May 28th, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal). With Venus in Aries, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don’t make it too easy for others to win you over.

If you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and “other parts of the house” 😉 We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house and be active with others.

All this is especially true if you are a Taurus, Libra, or Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an Aries, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a Taurus or Libra, you will feel more energized, passionate, and more than usually direct.

Monday from 4:28pm EDT on, it’s finally time to set our Solar Eclipse Intentions…. since we just had an Eclipse, we get to set some powerful intentions for the entire length of an Eclipse cycle — in other words, for the next 6 months!

Until 4:28pm EDT on Wednesday (May 4th) is the best and most potent time to do so!

Make them powerful: They cover the next six months. If possible, align them with the Taurus energy that I spoke about in my Solar Eclipse video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video.

While writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would I need to add or subtract from my life to better experience it as peace, abundance, and radiant love? Might adding a daily dash of love, grace, and gratitude add to my joy on this physical journey? 

How might meditation or mindfulness — simply being present in the now-moment to all the energies inside and around me — support my enjoyment of life?

April 25th – May 1st

Listen to Your Intuition Carefully

This week’s headline items: Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, and the Balsamic Moon phase begins in Pisces on Tuesday evening; Pluto comes to a halt, starting its 5-month Retrograde phase on Friday afternoon, and Mercury changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Friday evening; a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Taurus becomes exact on Saturday late afternoon; Mars at 12.5º of Pisces squares Dec. 4th’s Solar Eclipse degree on Sunday morning.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (until 6:15am EDT); Wednesday late morning (for 2.5 hours), and Friday early evening (for almost 2.5 hours)

Before we get to this week’s forecast, please know:

We are in Eclipse season until May 26th, so as best as you can, surrender any fears, and trust the process. If you find yourself “going down the rabbit hole”, please reach out for a session with Lia or me — we are happy to support you ==> Lia offers Readings (including 25-minute Readings), and of course, I offer a multitude of Readings.

If what you are experiencing is emotional in nature, please consider one or more Coaching-Healing sessions with me — this Eclipse season is an opportunity to process things from the past that have been long overdue.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, April 25th:

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC until 6:15am EDT; at which time, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday early afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.

It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.

Neptune is the ruler of Pisces — and it is currently in its own sign, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our inner spiritual connection to our “higher Self”, “Source”, “God/Goddess”.

It’s also a great time to allow all there is, as it is, and to go with the flow, following our intuitive voice as much as possible. We are being asked to tap into the “feminine” energies within ourselves so we can start to vibrate on a universal frequency.

Ask yourself: Is my “higher Self” asking for more introverted/inner love-time? If I tune in with my intuitive voice, what am I receiving? Sensing?

Where in my life have I become too disconnected from life? Love? God/Goddess? What is my connection to the spiritual realm? What about the “heart realm”? How could nature and/or animals teach me about those realms?

Do I need more downtime? More resting-time? More compassion? How might being kind to myself, and trusting the process of Life create a more loving connection with the universe?

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning around 2am EDT, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase when it reaches 26º of Taurus; this is two weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on May 10th at almost 5º of Gemini).

What is the Shadow phase? The period immediately before and after a planet’s Retrograde phase is referred to as the “Shadow phase”; at these times, the planet travels once more through the degrees of a sign (or signs) that it had already passed through before and during its Retrograde phase. Mercury is usually in its shadow for about two to three weeks prior to a retrograde, and for three to four weeks after.

If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items — especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) — be aware of the Shadow periods as well as the Retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters its pre-Shadow or wait until after the post-Shadow phase is over — post-Shadow phase will end on June 18th (in this case 😉

Of course, if there is something that must get done during these phases, don’t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is Retrograde or in its Shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it’s all “perfect” 😉

Sustainable Social Structures

This week’s headline items: The Sun changes sign from Aries to Taurus late on Tuesday evening; Eclipse season begins on Wednesday; the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Saturday morning; Pluto’s station intensifies from Saturday on.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday evening (for almost 2.5 hours); Wednesday late afternoon (for 7 hours); Friday late evening (for almost 2.5 hours) and Sunday evening (for almost 10 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, please know:

If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week, and still would like to learn how to align yourself with the current energies, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation “Eclipse season & Pluto Station, April – May 2022” — and see how this relates to your own Birth Chart.

• • The upcoming Eclipses (exact on April 30th & May 16th, 2022) signifies a new beginning.
  • It is the beginning of a 6 months Eclipse cycle (until Oct. 25th, 2022)
  • What evolutionary upgrade are you getting? What’s unfolding over the next 6 months?
  • Where are you looking to make some changes in your life?
  • How will this Eclipse season impact people with planets or points/angles in 5-15º or 20-29º of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius?

==> To purchase this webinar, click here 

“Thank you, Sonja, very informative webinar, much appreciated!” — Deb E.

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on April 16th in the early evening.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, April 18th:

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 10:16pm EDT. With this placement, we feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities”.

Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.

The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s thus an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.

Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂

Monday very early morning, an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:15am EDT.  We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday morning (April 16th) on, and it will remain strong until Tuesday evening. This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others — to do something different or unusual — freedom plays a big part in this aspect.

Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time — it’s a favorable time for social meetings and events — especially anything spiritual or creative in nature. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.

We’re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings — good places to look: all things “tech” (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments that are not suggested in an intuitive flash 😉

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-16 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn? 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 Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).

Monday late morning, a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:14am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (April 15th) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening (April 21st). What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.

Coming into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.

We may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us — the “something” could include attitudes.

This fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with exactly what’s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.

We may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.

If you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 25-29 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or Cancer, or 0-1 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius, Leo or Scorpio? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)

Monday evening, at 7:55pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, until 10:16pm EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you long-term.

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 evening ahead of time.

Monday late evening, at 10:16pm EDT, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late 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, this 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.

A Direct Approach Could Benefit Us

This week’s headline items: Saturn squares the Moon Nodes late on Monday morning; Jupiter aligns with Neptune in Pisces on Tuesday late morning; Mars changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Thursday late evening; on Friday, Pluto starts its Station phase (i.e. it slows down, preparing to go retrograde); Mercury moves over the upcoming Solar Eclipse degree (10.5º Taurus) on Saturday early morning; the Full Moon in Libra becomes exact on Saturday afternoon.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for almost 4 hours); Thursday afternoon (2.5 hours); and Saturday early evening (almost 2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, just a 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!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, April 11th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late 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 24-hours. 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? 

Monday late morning, at around 10:30am EDT, Saturn’s Square to the Moon Nodes (22º57’ of Taurus-Scorpio) becomes exact when it reaches 22º57’ of Aquarius. This aspect started to build from March 18th on, and it will still be strong until June 17th (due to Saturn’s Station Retrograde phase in May/June).

We get a major opportunity to stretch and grow in regards to our collective and individual Soul’s Journey right now! Squares ask for a shift in perception and direction; they challenge us to go beyond what is divisive and destructive and instead to move towards what creates growth and abundance.

They mark turning points — and this one is a turning point in our ability to contribute something within our own communities, and to (one by one) create a future we actually want to live into.

Ask yourself: Where do I need to decide to take more responsibility within my communities or with like-minded people? What might it make possible for me and my communities if I got really clear about what future I would like to live into?

What role do thoughtful commitments and collaborative spirit play in all of this? How about taking responsibility for how I show up in my various communities? Am I able to be myself? Do I dare to be authentic? Do I speak my truth responsibly? Do I allow others to be themselves? To speak their truth?

We feel a tremendous sense of commitment and obligation right now towards our various networks or affiliations; however, this may also create a lot of pressure and we could start to be very hard on ourselves or others.

We may start “should-ing” on ourselves or others. When we “should” on ourselves, we tend to feel more pressure, and therefore inclined to rebel. But then of course, when we rebel, we also tend to feel guilty about that… the result can be a heavy heart, anxiety, or stress.

When “shoulds” come up, ask yourself: What if I ran my “shoulds” through a computer that could only answer “Heck, Yes!” or “No way”? What if I turned the “shoulds” into “coulds”? What if I just powerfully chose, one way or another? And having chosen, could I take 100% responsibility for my choice?

Let’s look at an example: “I should get in touch with so and so” becomes “I choose to get in touch with so and so” or “I am choosing to not get in touch with so and so right now, I am choosing to do it at a later time — perhaps not at all”. It takes some of the pressure off and we also feel less guilty if we are not following through right away.

I also mention this aspect in my current Full Moon video, feel free to watch this video, if you haven’t seen it yet. And if you are not yet a member of my online community, feel free to read the beginning of my Full Moon article.

Monday evening is a time to feel excited about life. Things flow nicely during this time; create something that brings you joy, connects to your heart, and gets you dancing in the rain 🙂 (Moon in Leo trines Sun in Aries, exact at 7:01pm EDT)

Monday evening, we are being invited to focus on making realistic choices when it comes to connecting with others; do your best to be your most authentic, joyful Self when connecting with like-minded people. (Moon in Leo opposes Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 8:50pm EDT)  

Monday late evening feels a little uneasy. We need to develop inner awareness around two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, our sensitivity and connection to all of life; on the other, our need for self-expression, play, and fun.

We are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to express ourselves, but we may also need to be gentle and kind to ourselves and others. The question to ask yourself: Could I allow myself to feel into the mismatch of those two desires? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment (Moon in Leo quincunxes Neptune in Pisces, exact at 10:42pm EDT)
