May 17th – 23rd

Mutual Respect & Loyalty

This week’s headline items: Eclipse season remains in strong effect all week. The Saturn Station intensifies on Monday and that day also marks the time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions. On Tuesday, Mercury starts to slow down, as it starts its Station phase, preparing to go retrograde. The first Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon; the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Thursday afternoon; finally, Saturn comes to a halt and begins its yearly Retrograde phase on Sunday early morning.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 6 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for almost 2 hours), Friday late afternoon (for a little over 5.5 hours), and Sunday early evening (for almost 5.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me mention this:

If you missed last week’s PREMIERE of my NEW Interview Series “How to Deal with Uncertainty & Change“, feel free to watch it here. As we move through this time of heightened change and unpredictability, I will be interviewing people I love and respect, chatting about the daily routines and practices that have provided them the greatest level of support over these past 13 months (or longer).

Would you like to know how to support yourself in the best way possible on a physical, emotional, and mental level, now and into the future? Click here to watch my first Interview with Chernise Spruell, a Channel & Energy healer of the highest vibration!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 17th:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer. It will journey there until 8:44am EDT. 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 this morning 😉

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 at 2:23am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 6 hours, until 8:44am EDT. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.

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 morning ahead of time.

Monday at 8:44am EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon. 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-and-a-half 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? This Moon placement start the build up toward the first Quarter Moon (exact Wednesday afternoon).

Monday, after 8:44am EDT, if you set intentions last Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, after the New Moon became exact, today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?

Also on Monday, the Saturn Station intensifies in 13.5 degrees of Aquarius. As I mentioned last week Monday (May 10th) already,  “Stationing” is when a planet moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more “exalted”; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.

Ask yourself: Where am I being asked to look at my long-term goals and ambitions when it comes to building a sustainable future for myself and others? Around becoming a more mature citizen of the world? Where do I need to commit towards building a solid foundation in my various communities or networks? What will time do if I take these steps? And if I don’t?

As best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until until May 28th, but altogether, it will run until June 4th — and Saturn will start its 4.5-month Retrograde phase, on Sunday (May 23rd)… more on that later this week 😉

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-16 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus or Scorpio? Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, May 10th:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Wednesday 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, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 10:44pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Sunday afternoon (May 9th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, social media or email interactions.

We are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like “impatient self-talk”, or the use of aggressive language (swear words for example).

Here’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family’s attitude towards communication? Toward speaking up for yourself? What if you tried a kinder approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 3 or 5 years old? What if you tried using a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?

For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron Workshop: “Healing with Astrology” Click here for more info. Please keep in mind that as a Member of my online community you have automatically access to this workshop. Go to My Courses.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 9-13 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Leo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Also on Monday, Saturn starts its station in Aquarius. “Stationing” is when a planet moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more “exalted”; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.

Saturn has to do with doing what needs to be done — so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to “do” life, on life’s terms.

As spirit beings in a physical world, it’s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to “play by the rules”, the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the “domain” of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.

Saturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal “earth class” be in, right now? Where are you asked to look at your current “earth structures” and become more mature? Which communities or networks calls out for a commitment? What will time do?

As best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last until June 4th; and  Saturn starts its 5-month retrograde on May 23rd in 13.5 degrees of Aquarius (more on that next week…).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-16 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will be…
