Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, August 25th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practicalVirgo until 10:08am EDT. Until then, our focus tis still on the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time and services and love to help others.
We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our daily 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.
Monday until 2:07am EDT, we can still set our New Moon Intentions during the best and 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 around 5:15am EDT, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase ends (at 15º37′ of Leo). We no longer need to look back in order to learn or share something new, buy or sell something different, or make new connections.
As you may recall, on Aug. 11th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned the Mercury Shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct.
This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)
The good news is this Shadow phase ends early this morning when Mercury reaches 15º36′ of Leo. This means we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets — or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related).
Monday at 9:53am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that lasts for 15 minutes until 10:08am EDT. Take the opportunity to get organized, improve daily routines, and increase your awareness of how those activities fit with your values.
It could also be a chance to reconnect with family and loved ones in a nurturing way, from the heart — while being mindful of what works and what doesn’t for you.
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 10:08am EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.
These next 2.5 days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily 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 a great time for anything to do with visual arts!
Monday at 12:27pm EDT, Venus changes signs from sensitive, protective Cancer to fun-loving, extroverted Leo, where it will journey until Sept. 19th. Venus in Leo changes how we “do” relationships.
We’re “in love with love”, so we especially appreciate (and are turned on by) gestures of love and romance. It goes the other way, too: we are warm, affectionate, and loyal to those we love and cherish (as long as they show us that they deserve our love).
Grand gestures of love and exciting, tantalizing interactions work best. Lavish everyone with compliments (including yourself). We also want to have fun and express our love for life.
And what better way is there to do that than to throw a huge party for everyone we love? And if a “huge party” doesn’t appeal, don’t opt for the couch and the TV: get out there. It’s an excellent time to take a chance!
“Taking a chance” applies to the financial realm, especially any ventures related to entertainment, children, sports, or the stock market.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more outgoing and confident for the period Venus moves through Leo. Your heart will want to connect and be admired.
Creative endeavors will feel satisfying to you. If you are a Leo Sun-sign or Rising sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.
Monday late evening, a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 8:56pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday noon (Aug. 23rd) on; it will remain strong until Thursdayearly morning (Aug. 28th). This signals a time when we don’t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to “casual”.
Ask yourself: What long-term connections are possible at this time? What feels “right” to me? Are there any personal connections that need strengthening or refreshing? How might mutual respect and loyalty be of support?
We feel a strong sense of responsibility to loved ones and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others.
We bring more maturity, respect, and integrity to our interactions — and this is a good time to approach mature or, independent people for their input.
In the same spirit, reevaluating our goals and doing our self-development “work” brings greater mastery over who we are and what we do.
This process doesn’t have to be “solemn”, so ask yourself: Who might welcome a heart-centered dialogue (or creative collaboration) that is inspirational and long-lasting? What if we expressed ourselves freely while respecting each other’s boundaries?
If my heart had a voice of its own and could talk out loud, what might it say about me being myself and walking my path with maturity and integrity? What would a courageous leader and authority figure have to say on the subject? (Think of a specific person for this question.)
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-4 degrees of Leo, Aries, Sagittarius, or 27-29 degrees of Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio? If so, you will be blessed by this aspect more than others.
This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, August 18th:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Geminiuntil 3:05pm EDT. Until then, we would 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 7:53am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 7 hours, until 3:05pm EDT. This intuitive time offers an opportunity to connect with others and share yourself.
What might become possible if you were to exchange information with others in the mutual pursuit of goals you both feel excited about?
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 until the afternoon ahead of time!
Monday at 3:05pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.
Self-care is key for the next two days! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and 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, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.

This week’s headline items: Mercury comes to a halt early Monday, as it ends its 3-week Retrograde phase, and enters its post-Shadow phase (it will remain exalted all week). The last Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Friday night. Mercury finally ends its Station phase on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 27.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for 14.5 hours), and Friday night (for almost 11 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, August 11th:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day; it will journey there until Tuesday early morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
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 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 an excellent time to release fears—especially those based on a sense of separation—and experience “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.
Monday at 2:55am EDT, we enter a long Moon VoC that will last for 27.5 hours, until 6:33am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to tap into a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect with loved ones.
As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever feelings or sensations comes up to be beneficial for you.
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 very early morning until Tuesday morning ahead of time!
Monday at 3:30am EDT, Mercury comes to a halt again at almost 4 degrees of Leo — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase (which began on July 17/18th at 15.5 degrees of Leo), and slowly starts its direct motion again.
As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind, and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again when Mercury moves through its post-Shadow phase — more on that in a moment…
We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective.
Ask yourself: What did I learn about myself? What inner chatter that no longer sparks joy was I able to silence?
Was there anything I needed to express, release, or change to feel fully heart-centered and authentically myself? Where have I gained insight into myself over the past 3 weeks? Where do I still need to be more fully myself?
What did my inner dialog teach me? How might I share my findings in a healthy way?
When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Aug. 17th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.
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 2-6 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio.
Monday after 3:30am EDT, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase begins — lasting until Aug. 24th…. as you may recall, I mentioned Mercury Shadow phases in this update a few weeks back:
If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde, and after it goes direct.
This is especially true if the items are connected to travel, physical activities, technology, transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.), or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) Click here to read my blog on the subject.
Monday very late in the evening, a long-term, opportune Saturn/Uranus aspect becomes exact again at 11:32pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from July 4th on; it will remain strong until Sept. 8th.
We already experienced this aspect once before — exact on April 4th — strong from March 10th – May 12th, 2025. Think back to those dates, what opportunities were unfolding for you during that time?
Due to Saturn’s Retrograde phase between July 13th and Nov. 27th, we will experience this aspect a third time in January 2026 (exact on the 20th).
An opportune aspect supports the incorporation of new ideas and changes; this particular one facilitates commitments around our vision for a better future — especially how we interact and communicate with others, and within our daily commute.
All aspects connect back to the previous conjunction. Saturn and Uranus were last conjunct in Sagittarius in 1988; this marked the beginning of a cycle that will conclude in June 2032. At that point, Saturn and Uranus will start a new cycle in a late degree of Gemini.
If you remember 1988, ask yourself: What began in your life? What did you learn about life? Who have you become because of those experiences?
Returning to our current Saturn/Uranus combination: By focusing tightly on ourselves, we gain a better understanding of our thought processes, which helps us express our unique ideas, quirks, and differences. We can more readily dedicate ourselves to goals that help us with this — and by learning more about our mental abilities, we can accomplish more in less time.
This combination presents an opportunity for significant progress and long-term changes in how we connect with others, ourselves, and the planet. It could lead to a healthier relationship with our planet and our ability to communicate and exchange ideas.
Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones.
Ask yourself: How might an open mind benefit me and others? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe!
Remember, though: “opportunities” are not automatically granted to us. We have to “realize” them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-3 degrees of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Aquarius, or 29 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, 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 Aquarius or Capricorn (the Saturn rules Capricorn; Uranus rules Aquarius).

On Aug. 9th at 3:55am EDT, the Full Moon becomes exact at 17 degrees of Aquarius-Leo. The Moon’s entry into Aquarius Thursday late evening (Aug. 7th) initiates the energetic build-up towards this Full Moon.
Oppositions always reflect back to the planets’ conjunction; we examine the progress made since that conjunction. For example, during a Full Moon, we look back to the previous New Moon (in this instance, July 24th) to assess what has evolved since then.
Here are the astrological highlights of this Full Moon chart:
We have several oppositions in this Full Moon chart, a “Kite” Configuration that involves all of the outer planets, and a “Rectangle” configuration. Sounds quite interesting and unusual, and that’s because it is!
But first, let’s talk about the Full Moon polarity: Here we have two oppositions in the same polarity: The Sun-Moon opposition, and a Mercury-Pluto opposition in Aquarius-Leo.
These oppositions highlight the power of our creativity as individuals and the exponential potency of collaboration. It invites us to reclaim ourselves and add our voice, heart, and hands to something meaningful.
Since Mercury is still in retrograde motion until August 11th, we may need to look back before we can move forward.
The invitation with this opposition is to dare to be different and to remember how we are all part of a larger whole. The highest quest of Leo leads to authentic Self-expression: to embody our gifts, shine our light, and live our truth.
The highest task of Aquarius, on the other hand, is the attainment of unity in diversity, where everyone’s uniqueness is honored and included.
When we align our heads with our hearts, we feel our interconnectedness with all of humanity and create and connect from love instead of fear.
Given that Leo represents our self-expression and Aquarius our vision for humankind, a question arises: How can we best balance these two energies? Or even integrate them?
We’llseek answers to this question for the next two weeks, as we might become more aware that something is out of alignment.
All Full Moons have a shadow side — so let’s take a look at the shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or embrace…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 15-19 degrees ofAquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeoorCancer(since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer)

This week’s headline items: Mercury remains exalted all week; Mars changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Wednesday evening; Mercury’s Station intensifies on Thursday, as it gets ready to end its 3-week Retrograde phase.The Lion’s Gate will be exact on Friday (08/08); the Full Moon in Aquarius becomes exact early Saturday, and Chiron ends it’s Station that same day, though it remains retrograde.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 1.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for a little over 31.5 hours), and Saturday very early morning (for 23 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, August 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains inoptimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day; it will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday until 6:15am EDT, we are invited to enjoy this time as much as we can — we have plenty of energy, so if you are awake, use it to explore something new about life or yourself or have some fun! (Moon inSagittarius trines the Sun in Leo, exact at 2:12am EDT)
Monday from 12:45am – 4:45am EDT, 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, we want a horizon-expanding adventure; on the other hand, we want to explore our perspectives on family, home, safety, and emotional well-being. (Moon in Sagittariusquincunxes Jupiter in Cancer, exact at 2:44am EDT)
Mars starts to make some powerful aspects to all of the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) as well as Saturn. They will all become exact by the end of this week (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). So stay tuned for more on those…
It’s a sign that we are ready for a jumpstart. Check to see: where are you being called to take some important actions in service of a long-term agenda?

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 28th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day; it will journey there until tonight/Tuesday very early morning, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
We are generous with our time and services and 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.
Monday early afternoon, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 12:55pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening(July 26th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdayearly morning (July 30th).
This is an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth. We get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being “good enough”.
Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.
Ask yourself: How might an honest conversation support my healing journey at this time? Who might I want to have such a conversation with?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-29 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo or Aquarius? 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 or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).
Monday at 8:57pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 5 hours, until 1:43am EDT (Tuesday very early morning – July 29th). Use this intuitive time to be precise and practical in your thinking and with your work, and you also want to connect, interact and learn from others.
This tension invites you to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions — the key here is to be of service, so you don’t drive yourself or others crazy.
You may feel a little scatterbrained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself!
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 for Monday evening through early Tuesday in advance.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; it will journey there until Tuesday morning. Until then, 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 4:30am EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches almost 14 degrees of Gemini. This Moon phase lastsuntilThursday afternoon (July 24th) when the New Moon in Leo becomes exact.
We are being asked to slow down and get quiet to listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. Stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tension as best as you can.
Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.
This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?
Monday from 4:35am until 10:35am EDT, we can connect with others and express ourselves playfully and from the heart. What might become possible if we exchanged information with others to create more heart-openings?(Moon in Gemini sextiles Mercury in Leo, exact at 7:36am EDT)
Monday from 10:25am until 6:25pm EDT, we are invited to connect with others and share ourselves in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to us in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.(Moon conjuncts Venus in Gemini, exact at 2:23pm EDT)
Monday at 3:52pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 16.5 hours, until 8:26am EDT (Tuesday morning). We can best use this intuitive time to bring a new level of focus and authenticity to who we are being in every “moment of now” — and to how we can be the best version of ourselves while connecting with others.
What if exchanging information with others placed them on the path that leads to the best version of themselves?
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 afternoon until Tuesday morning ahead of time!
Also on Monday around 9:30pm EDT,Venus squares the Moon Nodes (in 19.5º of Pisces-Virgo), when she reaches 19º32′ of Gemini. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday (July 19th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning (July 24th).
Squares mark turning points; this one challenges us to go beyond our need for perfection to a more flexible and open-minded place.
These Squares are calling on us to take a sharp turn toward open thought and communication around the mundane — and when tuning into our “feeling-body”.
We need a perceptual shift to move forward, and this is a pivotal moment in our relationships, including the one we have with ourselves. It encourages us to balance the left and right brain, logic and creativity — in other words, to deepen the integration of mind and heart.
Ask yourself: What if I were open to seeing things from a more curious standpoint when it comes to human life and all its paradoxes? What might it look like for me and my relationship with others if the most profound perspective shift were not political or scientific but spiritual?
Since we’re working with many Mutable Signs, it’s pointless to get too distracted, overwhelmed, or scattered with our thoughts, information, interactions, opinions, etc.
The empty leg for Venus’ Square to the Moon Nodes lies in Sagittarius. We are invited to pay attention to the bigger picture and look for solutions that stem from our own direct experience and exploration of the “truth.”
The wisdom we gain from these explorations will benefit us when interacting with others or navigating media and other information sources.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces? 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 Libra or Taurus(Venus rules Taurus and Libra)

ALSO! Last week’s Forecasting Forum aboutUranus’ journey through Gemini, is now available via my webinar page.
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day; it will journey there until Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (July 15/16th). This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
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 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 an excellent time to release fears—especially those based on a sense of separation—and experience “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 during this time.
Monday from 5:45am – 1:45pm EDT brings a feeling of ease and a deepened ability to trust and expand emotional connections with others. As best you can, trust your intuition right now and allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you or your loved ones. (Moon in Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer, exact at 9:46am EDT)
Monday from 11:55am – 7:55pm EDT, we feel a need to go within — and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions — the key here is to listen to our intuition so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.(Moon in Pisces squares Venus in Gemini, exact at 3:53pm EDT)
Monday from 8:40pm – 12:40am EDT, we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice requires that we develop inner awareness around two very different urges:
On the one hand, the desire to communicate in a creative, outgoing, and self-expressed way — and on the other hand, the need to inwardly listen for the subtle voice of our intuition.(Moon in Pisces quincunxes Mercury in Leo, exact at 10:40pm EDT)
Also, on Monday,Mercury’s station intensifies at 15 degrees of Leo, as Mercury is preparing to come to a halt on Thursday night/Friday very early morning (beginning its 3-week Retrograde phase).
We feel Mercury’s energies even more strongly during this intensified Station phase. It will remain at its most intense until July 21st. Going with the flow is recommended at this time.
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) or personal planets in 13-17 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 7th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day; it will journey there until Wednesday early morning (July 9th). 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — and we also have a high degree of independence. Taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come more easily than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just be mindful that you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday at 3:45am EDT, Uranus changes signs from steady, comfort-loving Taurus to versatile, fast-thinking Gemini.It makes its first pass through this fickle Air sign untilNov 7th, 2025.
When Uranus enters Gemini, we step into a radically new chapter — one buzzing with invention, disruption, and lightning-speed evolution in the ways we think, learn, and connect.
Uranus, the planet of awakening, liberation, and quantum leaps, is anything but subtle. It doesn’t tiptoe into a room; it kicks the door off its hinges and declares, “We’re doing this differently now.”
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is a mutable air sign known for its agility, intellect, and curiosity. Together, this duo creates a potent cocktail of electric ideas, unpredictable shifts, and brilliant breakthroughs.
This initial dip of Uranus into Gemini (July 7th – November 7th, 2025) gives us a taste of what’s to come during its full transit from April 25th, 2026, to August 3rd, 2032, and again briefly in 2033.
Expect the unexpected — and expect it to move fast.
Uranus in Gemini shakes up the very structure of our thoughts and conversations. It challenges us to:
Upgrade the way we think and process information
Dismantle outdated ideas to create a more inclusive and visionary future
Take bold, curious first steps toward a more connected and conscious collective
This transit poses powerful questions:
Where are we being called to rewire our mental circuits? How might old paradigms be holding us back? What new perspectives are waiting to be born through disruption?
==> Join us on Wednesday at 6:30pm EDT for a more in-depth look at Uranus in Gemini, and to see how this 7-year journey will impact you personally! If you are not already registered, click here for more information ==> Early Bird Special ends tonight! <==
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you will feel Uranus’ first pass through Gemini quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign inAquarius (Uranus rules Aquarius).
Monday early morning, a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 4:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (July 4th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdayevening (July 9th). This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives.
We are more likely to 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. The work we’ve done might well pay off, and we will be able to manage our finances better, with more attention to diversity, visions, and eliminating anything that no longer serves us.
We might renew a long-term vision under the influence of this aspect or bring new, more profound, and more intimate energy into a relationship or intellectually stimulating connection.
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 like-minded, 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 certain — the relationships or intellectually stimulating connections we experience 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.
Where are you being asked to transform? To trust the universal process?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Gemini, Aquarius, or Libra? 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 at 5:29pm EDT, we enter a very long Moon VoC that will last for 35.5 hours, until 4:45am EDT (Wednesday early morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments.
As best as you can, honor your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to problem-solve and manage your daily health and work routines.
As best as you can, distinguish what is needed in the moment, and be mindful of where you expend your energy.
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 out Monday evening through early Wednesday.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 30th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late afternoon, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
We are generous with our time and services and 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.
Monday around 2:15am EDT, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase, when it reaches 4º16′ of Leo; this is 2 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on July 17/18th at 15.5º of Leo).
Mercury is the planet of communication and information exchange. Communication starts within our minds — our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.
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 through the same degrees of a sign (or signs) it will also pass through during its Retrograde phase.
Mercury is usually in its shadow for about two to three weeks before and after a Retrograde phase.
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 August 24th, 2025 (in this case).
Of course, if something 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 precisely at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it’s all “perfect.”
When Mercury moves through its pre-Shadow phase in Leo, it’s important to pay attention to what arises in our lives related to joy, self-expression and creativity or taking risks. This is a time to connect with our inner joyful child-energy
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to be joyful, happy and appreciate myself and life? How playful could I allow myself to be?
Whatever mental connections, thoughts, or conversations we initiate between June 30th and July 17th must be reviewed during the Mercury Retrograde phase (July 18th – August 11th).
Monday around 9am EDT, when the Sun reaches 9º of Cancer,it squares the Solar Eclipse degree from March 29th, 2025 (which was in 9º of Aries).
This signals a potential turning point in our awareness of our personal goals and passions, our ability to forge our own path, and our sense of Self in this incarnation. Watch for important developments today.
The ability to be fully ourselves and pursue our desires and passions is a crucial factor in all endeavors — and we strengthen this ability when we allow ourselves to receive nurturing and take care of our “inner baby” — the most vulnerable part of our psyche.
How has your connection to your human identity shifted since March 29th? How about your connection to your goals? Or your physical fitness?
If you really stopped and checked, might you find you are ready to receive additional support for the next step of your journey?
Ask yourself: What might shift if I allowed myself to receive support? What (or who) might be part of this shift? What could I gift to myself to support my journey of self-realization?
What might I experience if I began to step out of my comfort zone and go after my passion goals? What might my “inner baby” need from me to feel safe and cared for so it can support my passions? How about the “inner mother archetype” — how might “she” help me nurture myself?

This week’s headline items: Neptune and Uranus remain exalted all week; there will be a powerful YOD early in the week; the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Wednesday morning; Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Thursday afternoon; Neptune’s station intensifies Saturday night, and we can start taking actions on our New Moon Intentions from Sunday early evening on.

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
I’m now offering a free monthly live stream on the Soulivity Live community platform called: THE STAR HOUR!
Our next one is Live on Saturday, June 28th at 12:30pm EDT/9:30am PT/5:30pm London-time! ==>RSVP here
We’ll explore current astrological events together, share our experiences with the shifting energies, and talk about how to use Astrology as a compassionate, supportive tool for growth.
Let’s make evolving feel less scary and more empowering!
Monday is quite a busy and unusual day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; it will journey there until Tuesday, late evening. Until then, we seek to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably while multitasking. The one thing we want to avoid is boredom: If our mind is not engaged, we might as well curl up and play dead.
Monday, early morning:a somewhat challenging Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday morning (June 21st) on; it will be strong until this Tuesday evening (June 24th).
This aspect will be part of a YOD-configuration that can be felt today and tomorrow (Tuesday). I also talked about this in the current New Moon video. Feel free to watch this 20-minute video for more on the subject.
This aspect has an air of intensity, and we get the sense that something very powerful is happening in our bodies, surroundings, or daily routines. Quincunxes can affect our health or well-being, so take extra care of yourself over those three days.
(For more about this Mars/Pluto alignment, please check Sunday’s post. We already talked about this aspect in detail on June 22nd)
Monday at 4:26am EDT, we enter an especially long Moon VoC that will last for a little over 43 hours, until 11:44pm EDT(Tuesday late evening). Use this intuitive time to get things done, even if you feel frustrated at times.
You may feel tension between the need to connect, interact, and learn (in other words, to stay mentally in movement), versus the need for a practical approach to problem-solving (in other words, to zoom in and be mindful about what’s needed, when, and why).
Resolving this tension might necessitate creative actions and stretching yourself. The key here is to balance being of service and maintaining discernment, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.
You may feel scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself or others.
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 until Tuesday late evening ahead of time.
Monday early morning, a challenging Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 4:29am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (June 19th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning (June 26th). This aspect asks us to stretch and grow.
On the one hand, we want to feel comfortable, confident, and centered; on the other hand, we are compelled to heed our intuition and act on its subtle cues.
As you can perhaps guess, we’ll experience more “flow” in areas that favor intuition and imagination, such as creativity or spirituality. If possible, hold off on plans for more “practical” things.
We might feel more emotional or sensitive, but we are being asked to have faith in the infinite support we receive daily from the universe, whether we understand it or not.
Ask yourself: Is it possible that my emotionally conditioned persona is very different from who I need to be to live out my highest potential? If that were so, would I trust my inner knowing and my “energy body” a little more?
What if I allowed myself to pay less attention to what’s familiar and safe, and instead, got excited about being the change I want to see in the world? Would that help me actively create this world by trusting that I can?
What if I allowed myself to simply be the divine energy that I am? Could I go with the flow and “rest in the knowing” that all is well, all the time?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn, or 29 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo, Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday night, a somewhat challenging Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:16am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build Friday morning, June 20th; it will remain strong until Saturday morning (June 28th). 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 might find it difficult to reach agreements — or even common ground with others — and this could result in uneasiness: We need to make changes, but don’t necessarily know what, how, or when.
If we are not in touch with ourselves, we could also adopt an all-or-nothing attitude, so do your best to avoid confrontation until you are clear on what you want. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?
Ask yourself: What if I allowed myself to feel the fear while staying connected to what grounds me? Might inner awareness of those two energies help me let go of wanting control over my own or other people’s experiences?
Where might I look for empowering methods to bring about the change I want for myself and others? What calls for conscious awareness and acknowledgment before I move forward?
What if all is well, all the time? Even when there is apparent chaos and things feel out of control? Despite overwhelming and concrete evidence that things are not well right now, never were, and never will be? What might I experience if I surrendered to a higher power? A higher order? What might taking a deep breath and refocusing on those areas I have influence over do for me right now?
This aspect will also be part of a YOD configuration that can be felt today and tomorrow (Tuesday). I talked about this in the current New Moon video. Again, feel free to watch this 20-minute video for more on the subject.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 2-4 degrees of Cancer or Aquarius? Or, given that Pluto is the ruler of Scorpiowhile Jupiter rules Sagittarius, your Ascendant or Sun-sign is in Sagittarius or Scorpio? If either is true for you, you’ll likely feel this aspect more strongly than others.

This week’s headline items: Neptune remains exalted all week; Uranus moves into 29 degrees of Taurus (an exalted degree) late Monday evening; Mars finally changes signs from Leo to Virgo early Tuesday; the last Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon; Friday evening, the Sun changes signs from Gemini to Cancer — this also marks the yearly Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Balsamic Moon phase begins, Saturday evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for 38 minutes), Wednesday late afternoon/early evening (for 1.5 hours), Friday late evening (for 4 minutes), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 1 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, two gentle reminders…

ALSO! Last week’s Forecasting Forum is now available via my webinar page:
We covered Jupiter’s journey through Cancer. We talked about this 12-year cycle, as Jupiter is now in Cancer — as it was back in 2013/14!
Watch this 90 minute webinar to gain personalized insights! Unlock powerful tools for growth and self-alignment, and tools for understanding your emotional sense of home.
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 2:09pm EDT. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.
Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are 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, innovative methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space — and personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday at 1:31pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for 38 minutes, until 2:09pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to engaging with like-minded people.
Do your best to find a balance between your need for a cause that changes the future for some (or many) and your desire for heartfelt, joyful self-expression and courageous actions.
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 afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 2:09pm EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday evening (June 18th). This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
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 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 an excellent time to release fears—especially those based on a sense of separation—and experience “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 Aries, making these next two days a great time to take a look at how we personally embody our own spiritual understanding and how we put it into action — being the change that we want to see in the world.
How can we infuse our interactions with 5% more idealism, spirituality, and creativity? How can we experience ourselves as spiritual or creative warriors?
It’s also a great time to center ourselves in our hearts, inspire others through new and exciting ideas or dreams, and demonstrate compassion and kindness.
Ask yourself: What did the last 14 years teach me about my intuition? What lessons did I learn about the interconnectivity of all life? What sacred gift was I given? Where will I use that gift?
What am I called to bring forth? What could I inspire in others? What action is inner knowing guiding me to take next?
This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon).
Monday around 9:30pm EDT, Uranus reaches 29 degrees of Taurus, remaining in this exalted degreeuntil July 7th.
Uranus began its journey through Taurus on May 15, 2018, marking the start of a 7-year passage through this slow-moving, steady, comfort-oriented zodiac sign.
Due to its yearly Retrograde phase, Uranus temporarily returned to Aries on Nov. 6th, 2018, and then re-entered Taurus on March 6th, 2019.
When a celestial body reaches 29º of a sign, as Uranus has now, it has one last chance to express itself fully before changing signs, resulting in heightened (or “exalted”) energy.
It’s now or never! We are strongly encouraged to conduct one last exploration of our own values and connections to our bodies, our resources, talents, etc. while Uranus is in Taurus.
Again, Uranus will move through the last degree of Taurus until July 7th; during this time, our focus on physical matters — how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit — is heightened.
We may also want to pay attention to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us.
As best as you can, make the most of this powerful last degree by being very careful which visions you value and pursue (and which visionaries you listen to).
You can think of Uranus as having two “modes” in this sign. The first is intuitive, and leads to new ideas and breakthroughs; the second is reactive and fear-based, leading to destruction and breakdowns, which harms our body, other people, and the planet.
Ask yourself: Which mode am I choosing at this moment?
It’s up to you to decide in every moment, so choose wisely!
Ask yourself: Have I experienced any breakthroughs around my self-worth since May 2018? Or money? How much do I value my own unique preferences? What has changed in the last 7 years for me on the physical plane? What is asking for completion?
Due to its yearly Retrograde, Uranus will return to this exalted degree (29º) of Taurus between Nov. 7th, 2025 and Dec. 1st, 2025, and again for the last time between April 6th – 26th, 2026,
Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 27-29 degrees Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius will feel the impact of this exalted energy more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

On June 9th, 2025, at 5:02pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from versatile, fast-thinking Gemini to nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It journeys through this protective, vulnerable Water sign until June 29th, 2026.
Jupiter takes about a year to move through each of the twelve zodiac signs; given this, it returns to a sign approximately every twelve years. **More about dates later…
In our natal chart, Jupiter’s position reveals how we express generosity and tolerance, trust others, and improve our lives. Jupiter is about expansion, possibilities, perspectives, and mental and spiritual growth.
Ask yourself: Where do I look for wisdom and understanding? Where do I need movement and spaciousness? Where do I hold perspectives or beliefs that come from my social conditioning? How do I interpret and navigate life? Where do I feel optimistic and believe things will turn out ok? What mantra gets me through tough spots?
Jupiter represents the principle of expansion; it operates like a magnifying glass. During its time in Gemini (May 2024 – June 2025), the magnifying glass highlighted more opportunities to listen, learn, teach, or write — and to get excited about sharing and staying connected with others.
We might also have wanted to contribute to life through interesting communication and sharing information. This could have shifted our attitude towards our mental realm, including our mind, thinking, and inner dialogue.
Conversely, JupiterinCancer brings the magnifying lens to bear on emotional safety, home, and family. The opportunity now is to bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to creating a home that feels expansive and comfort-inducing.
This one-year transit also supports our self-care and helps us encourage our loved ones’ self-care. It helps us have faith in our ability to expand familiar connections. Again, Jupiter will be in Cancer until June 29th, 2026. During this time, we invite good fortune by…

All this is especially true if you are a Sagittarius or have a Cancer Sun or Rising sign. As a Sagittarius, you will feel a greater need to connect to loved ones and feel at home, wherever you are.
As a Cancer, you are likely to feel a heightened sense of possibility and a strong need to grow and expand your emotional connections with others. This growth will guide how much you connect to what’s important for you between now and June 2026.
What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and June 2026? Where are you ready to experience more curiosity, adaptability, and exchange of information with others?

This week’s headline items: Jupiter moves into Cancer early Monday evening; Jupiter will be in an exalted degree until Saturday; a Full Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact early Wednesday; Neptune starts to slow down (station) on Friday, preparing for its yearly Retrograde phase. The week ends with some powerful Squares: one between Mars & Uranus, and another between Jupiter & Saturn — both are exact on Sunday, but can be felt all week and most of next week, too.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for almost 3 hours), Wednesday late afternoon (for 6 hours), and Saturday early morning (for a little over 2 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 9th:
Monday, is a huge day (astrologically speaking)!The Moon remains in deeply passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 10:56am EDT. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us now; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as 100% dishonest.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us.
This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday morning, a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening(June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesdayevening (June 10th).
This aspect encourages us to stretch, grow, and mature. It’s important to be mindful of misunderstandings and rigid thinking, both in our interactions with others and in our inner dialogue. During this period, we may feel somewhat somber or serious.
On one hand, Mercury in Cancer encourages us to be attuned to our surroundings and to listen more sensitively when receiving information. We might find it challenging to maintain objectivity, as our emotions are likely to influence our interactions. We tend to gravitate toward what feels familiar or reflects our past experiences.
On the other hand, Saturn in Aries reminds us that to pursue new endeavors, we need to ensure that our actions align with our personal goals. This may require us to eliminate anything that distracts us from our passions. Achieving this alignment will require us to slow down and focus on ourselves.
Ask yourself: Am I truly interested in building long-term connections with others? What is the worst that could happen if I chose “quick” over “quality”?
Am I truly focused on myself? Or is my mind getting lost in emotional content (or the past?)
Find creative ways to connect and share with others from a vulnerable place, while staying committed to pursuing your passion goals in a mature, self-responsible, and determined manner.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-1 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or 28-29 degrees of Gemini,Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).
Monday at 8:06am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 3 hours, until 10:56am EDT. Use this intuitive time to examine your relationship to money, power, and resources (personal and shared).
Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others against my wish to honor my values and desire for freedom?
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 10:56am EDT, the Moon will move into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening (June 11th). 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:20pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening(June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdaymorning (June 11th). The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.
Venus represents our relationships (including the one with ourselves) and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations.
This aspect could also challenge us to find meaning in our lives through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.
You may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: as best you can, empower rather than disempower.
We may become obsessed with our social networks or affiliations or our finances during this time.
We may also experience Pluto through our partner or social interactions in the form of manipulation or controlling behaviors; we must be especiallywary of resisting change and holding onto negative attachments.
It’s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can you grow and evolve in your relationships? Is there a relationship that you need to grow and evolve out of? This could also include your relationship to money or social affiliations.
This aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs — don’t start a relationship with “just anyone”, in order to avoid being alone.
Remember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love, and a genuine desire for intimacy — and work on being worth finding in the meantime …
As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Remember: “fear” is resistance to life, “love” is acceptance and openness towards life.
Stay flexible and open-minded, nurture yourself, and make sure you have everything you need to come from a place of inner strength & empowerment.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-7 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio, or Leo? 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 Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
Monday at 5:02pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from versatile, fast-thinking Gemini to nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It journeys through this protective, vulnerable Water sign until June 29th, 2026.
Jupiter takes about 12 years to move through the twelve signs of the Zodiac, spending roughly a year in each sign. Fittingly, the giant planet represents the principle of expansion; you could say it operates like a magnifying glass.
JupiterinCancer brings this magnifying lens to bear on emotional safety, home, and family. We can leverage Jupiter’s enthusiasm to create a home that feels both expansive and comfortable.
This one-year transit also fosters improved self-care and steadily brings that energy to the people we love. It also supports our belief that we can “expand” familiar connections.
With Jupiter in Cancer until June 29th, 2026, we attract good fortune when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable with others and put them at ease by nurturing them and ourselves — and also when we engage with the familiar,
There is much support here for furthering our journey toward emotional health; the key is to adopt a new perspective on what lies behind us, especially those messages we adopted uncritically as children (for example, notions about “safe” and “dangerous” that we absorbed from caregivers and society).
We value what feels emotionally familiar and safe. We can grow and succeed by making our home our haven and connecting with those who feel like family.
All this is especially true if you are a Sagittarius or Cancer Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Sagittarius, you will feel a greater need to connect to loved ones and feel at home wherever you are.
As a Cancer, you are likely to feel a heightened sense of possibility, along with a strong need to grow and expand your emotional connections with others. This growth will guide how much you connect to what’s important for you between now and June 2026.
Where does Jupiter-in-Cancer fall in your own birth chart? What aspects does it make during this transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next?
What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and June 2026? Where are you ready to experience more fulfilling connections and a sense of emotional safety with others?
If you’d like more insight into those questions, I invite you to register for this week’s Forecasting Forum here to get a closer look at how Jupiter in Cancer will impact you personally. The webinar is titled: “Optimism & Generosity with Loved Ones — An Exploration of Jupiter in Cancer“.
Monday evening, a challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:54pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening(June 7th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesdaymorning (June 11th).
This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow. We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now. Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.
We are also more imaginative now and easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence, but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical. What might a creative or intuitive approach look like right now?
Please know that it can be hard to follow routines. Likewise, concentrating on monotonous tasks and work or studies involving attention to detail or rote learning may also be challenging. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 3.5 days.
Ask yourself: What do I feel and perceive when I go beyond all stories, all assumptions, and all meaning?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or 29 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.
This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Virgo will become exact late on Monday evening; Jupiter will enter an exalted degree on Thursday morning; Venus changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday night; Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Sunday evening.
There will only be two Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Friday evening (for almost 1.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 2nd:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgoall day; it will journey there until Wednesday 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.
Monday from 3:55am – 7:55am EDT, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some more inner adjustments.
We are encouraged to release our fears and embrace genuine emotional connections with society or a humanitarian cause dedicated to a more empowered future for everyone. At the same time, we feel the need to make important decisions about our daily health and work routines.
Where could we use more clarity? Where do we need to take a closer look in our lives? (Moon in Virgo quincunxes Pluto in Aquarius, exact at 5:55am EDT)
Monday at 11:41pm EDT, the first Quarter Moon in almost 13º ofVirgo becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Virgo (on Sunday late evening).
The Moon in detail-oriented, helpful, and practical Virgo makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, fast-thinking, and busy Gemini.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon on May 26th; “seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making first real contact with the outside world.
This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum.
We may feel anxious or unusually busy. As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-15 degrees of Virgo, Gemini,Pisces, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. 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).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, May 26th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful, comfort-loving Taurus until 1:21pm EDT; we love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and stick with what works well.
In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday at 9:52am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 3.5 hours, until 1:21pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for your visions and share what is important to you — in particular, what you envision for the future around money and finances.
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 the afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 1:21pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon.For the next two days, we seek to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably while multitasking. The one thing we want to avoid is boredom: If our mind is not engaged, we might as well curl up and play dead.
This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards today’s New Moon (exact in the late evening). Feel free to watch my video on the subject here (if you haven’t seen it yet).
Monday late afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 4:37pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday evening(May 25th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesdayevening (May 27th). This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.
Faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will serve us well at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.
Find inspiration and inspire others! Whether it’s a book, a song, a movie, someone else’s words, or your own, let the Universe speak to you or through you.
Open your mind to a higher vibration — and remember, opportunities are openings… they aren’t necessarily handed to us… we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-4 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo or Aquarius? 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, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
One notable facet of this New Moon chart is the planetary line-up in Gemini, involving the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter!
With this much emphasis on Gemini, we are invited to pay attention to our minds, communications, and any information coming our way.
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.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 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 11:02pm on May 26thand 9am on May 28th. Then there will be a 4.5-hour period on May 28th, during which the Moon will be void of course, from 9amuntil 1:32pm. It is best to avoid setting your Intention during that time.
And from 1:32pm until 11:02pm on May 28th, still a great time to set your Intentions during the most potent time. (and please note that I provide all times in the Eastern Daylight Time zone, i.e., New York City).

Back to the New Moon:
One notable facet of this New Moon chart is the planetary line-up in Gemini, involving the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter!
With this much emphasis on Gemini, we are invited to pay attention to our minds, communications, and any information coming our way.
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. It invites us to look at our mental programming and conditioned mind to see what new thought structures we might want to engage with.
Mercury’s close alignment to the New Moon invites us to learn to better listen to ourselves and others, become more aware of our communications and exchanges, and see both sides of a situation.
Ask yourself: Where do I need to leave room for discussion when sharing my thoughts? If there were a handsome cash prize for listening twice as much as I speak, what would I do differently to win it? What if there were a bonus for listening with 5% more curiosity?
Our day-to-day mind (Mercury in Gemini) wants us to engage via email, text, phone, the internet, the news, chatting, connecting, and staying informed.

On May 24th at 11:35pm EDT, Saturn changes signs from creative, intuitive, and sensitive Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic, and active Aries.This changes our focus for the next 2.5 years!
Saturn will journey there until Sept. 1st, 2025, then it will make a second pass through Aries from Feb. 14th, 2026 — April 12th, 2028. What will need your focus and commitment until April 2028? How can you become a more responsible human being?
Saturn in Aries heralds a radical new beginning. We are called to venture into uncharted territory that demands bravery and unwavering consistency.
This transit encourages us to seek practical applications of our passions. It may also reveal that establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries and upholding integrity can enhance our maturity and trustworthiness.
Saturn in Aries also reminds us that before we can manifest our personal goals, we must examine our relationship to our human identity. We need to develop maturity, responsibility, and expertise.

If you want to know how Saturn’s journey through Aries will impact you personally over the next 2-3 years, feel free to get access to my webinar on this subjecthere. We took a look at how this transit impacts our birth charts.
All this is especially true if you are a Capricorn or Aries Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel the need to focus on building something new and your human identity.
As an Aries, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious, and mature, in the next 2-3 years.

This week’s headline items: Pluto ends its Station phase on Monday; the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Tuesday morning; the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Tuesday afternoon; the Balsamic Moon phase begins Friday evening; Saturn starts its first pass through Aries late Saturday evening. Finally, on Sunday evening, Mercury also changes signs from Taurus to Gemini.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday morning (for 30 minutes), Thursday early afternoon (for 20 minutes), and Saturday morning (for almost 6 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know…
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.
Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are 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 when the Moon moves through Aquarius.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space … Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday until 5:18am EDT, we have an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and be passionate about our projects and whatever else we are up to.(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Venus in Aries, exact at 2:18am EDT)
Monday from 12:25am until 8:25am EDT, we are invited to make clear choices when engaging with like-minded people.
Do your best to balance your need for a cause that changes the future for some (or many) and your desire for heartfelt, joyful self-expression and courageous actions.(Moon in Aquarius opposes Mars in Leo, exact at 4:23am EDT)
Monday from 4am until 12pm EDT, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need to connect with like-minded people while remaining objective.
On the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others and ourselves (this, in turn, informs our self-worth); as far as possible, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 8am EDT)
Monday from 8:45pm until 2:45am EDT, if you are still awake, we are presented with an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress.
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if I took an objective approach toward my flaws, idiosyncrasies, and insecurities? How might this support my healing process? Someone else’s?(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:44pm EDT)
Also on Monday, Pluto finally ends its 4-week Station phase. Although now retrograde, Pluto resumes its normal pace through the skytoday. What has come up in the last four weeks around social or political issues?
How about ideas about your future? Or everyone’s future? How empowered or disempowered do you feel about it all? The Retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in this area (the retrograde ends on Oct. 13th).
We now have 6 months to review anything that has felt disempowering to us regarding our social connections.
We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was “in our face” from April 22nd until now — solutions that work well with our inner sense of empowerment and our outer reality.
