Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 20th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. 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, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

Monday early afternoon, we get an opportunity to be very present, to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”.

As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progressive, new ideas about what is important to you and things that could make your own and other people’s lives easier on a very practical level. (Moon in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 1:34pm EDT). 

Monday late afternoon, an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 4:12pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday (March 18th); it will remain strong until this Wednesday. This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.

It’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 27-29 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, or 0-1 degrees of Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, or Gemini? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)

Monday early evening, at 5:24pm EDT, the Sun changes signs from dreamy Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic Aries, where it will journey until April 20th. The entrance of the Sun into 0º of Aries is also known as the Spring (or Vernal) Equinox.

This signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet — the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.

With the Sun entering Aries for the next four weeks, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals, and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, and move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It’s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an Aries, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.

Feeling Overwhelmed?

This week’s headline items: on Tuesday evening, the Mars-Neptune Square in Gemini/Pisces becomes exact for the third time in 5 months and the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact; Mars’ post-Shadow phase ends late Wednesday evening; Venus changes signs from Aries to Taurus, on Thursday evening; the Balsamic Moon phase begins Saturday early morning; very early Sunday, Mercury changes signs from Pisces to Aries.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 23 mins.), Wednesday early morning (for a little over 3 hours), Friday late morning (for 11 minutes), and Sunday morning (for a little over 4.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:

Would you like to have a better relationship with yourself? In three weeks, we will have another 2-hour online Mini-Retreat: “Leap forward into Love — A Taste of Venus”.

If you were not able to join us in February, please mark the date in your calendar: April 5th at 7:30pm EDT. I promise you won’t regret this! You can also register right now while the Early Registration fee is still available.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 13th:

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 3:21am EDT. Emotional authenticity is essential to us now; 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. 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, very early morning, at 2:58am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that lasts for 23 minutes, until 3:21am EDT. If you are awake at that time, use this 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 very early morning ahead of time. 

Also very early on Monday morning, at 3:21am EDT, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. 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, 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.

Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Aries, making this a great time to explore our individual passions and goals. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your own desires — and get excited about new paths and new projects.

Ask yourself: What might open up if I became more connected to “I am that I am”? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards myself and my personal passions and goals?

What might promote my independence and me walking my own path? What might do the same for growth around my sexuality and my human identity? What personal beliefs about my identity am I now ready to explore or go beyond?

Use this time to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of your personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

Integrate Discernment & Compassion 

This week’s headline items: the Full Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Tuesday morning; soon after, Saturn changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces. Finally, the Jupiter/Chiron alignment becomes exact on Sunday.

Please note: Daylight Saving Time begins in the US & Canada on Sunday very early morning.

There will only be two short Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday morning (for 37 minutes) and Friday early evening (for 29 minutes).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:

It’s not too late to join us for this week’s Forecasting Forum on Monday, March 6th, at 5pm EST/2pm PST. Get a better idea how to turn your dreams into reality! ==> Register by Monday at 4:30pm EST to join live, or register any time to get your mp4-video presentation to download and keep for as long as you want!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 6th:

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day, 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 morning, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 8:42am EST. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday morning (March 4th); it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. We can become more aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones.

Ask yourself: What is my unique value? How could I tune into that gently and consistently? If I did tune in, is it at least possible that I could get more perfectly aligned with my values? My sense of worth?

What if the whole Universe was intelligent? What if that included every cell in my body? What knowledge would my body want to share with me?

As best as you can, watch out for those messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-18 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 Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Late Monday morning, we may need to balance head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. It’s a great day for connecting with others and being of service. We may also want to talk to our pets or engage in more spiritual conversations that can also support our physical well-being. (Moon in Virgo opposes Mercury in Pisces, exact at 11:32am EST)

Tolerance, Open-Mindedness, and Enthusiasm

This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact very early on  Monday; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces early Thursday evening; the Mars-Neptune Square starts to build and get stronger on Saturday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for 1.5 hours), Friday late morning (for almost an hour), and Sunday late evening (for 20 minutes).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 27th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.

Monday, very early morning, at 3:06am EST, the first Quarter Moon in 8.5° of Gemini becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build when the Moon entered Gemini on Sunday late morning (Feb. 26th). The Moon, in chatty, versatile Gemini, makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate Pisces.

We feel compelled to take action. Last week (on Feb. 20th) saw a Super New Moon. “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their 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 6-11 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Virgo, 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).

Monday morning, we have the opportunity to connect to others and start a new adventure or simply do something that gets us excited about our personal goals. It is also an opportunity to see the bigger picture if we choose to — or shift our perspective by talking it through with someone else. (Moon in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries, exact at 9:08am EST) 

Monday afternoon, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:30pm EST) 

Monday late evening, 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 Mars in Gemini, exact at 11:21pm EST)

Speak Visionary Truths 

This week’s headline items: the New Moon (SuperMoon) in Pisces becomes exact very early on Monday morning; soon after that, Venus changes signs from Pisces to Aries. A Jupiter/Chiron alignment begins to build from Thursday on, and last but not least, it’s time to take action on our New Moon intentions, starting Friday early afternoon.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for a little over an hour), Friday very early morning ( for a little over an hour), and Sunday morning (a little over an hour).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:

Since the Jupiter/Chiron alignment in Aries starts intensifying this week, I wanted to remind everyone that you can watch my webinar about this powerful alignment to get a better sense of your own healing journey at this time.

Because I want as many of you as possible to do your own healing, I am offering a discount for this webinar until March 12th, as this alignment will intensify more and more over the next 21 days ==> Click here to get more info and to purchase.

PS: Current Star Members already have access to this webinar, please check your email (I sent this out on Feb. 6th).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 20th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.

Monday very early morning, at 2:06am EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 1.5° of Pisces, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. I also recommend you watch my video on the subject.

New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle and are therefore an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days. 

This New Moon is another SuperMoon (the third of four Super New Moons in a row). These occur when the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth (at the time of a New or Full Moon) and are more powerful. This means greater awareness of the issues connected to the particular New Moon energy in question.

Since this one occurs in Pisces, this Super New Moon invites us to connect with our inner divinity and ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.

This New Moon chart has four planets in Pisces — that includes the Sun, the Moon, Neptune, and Venus; Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is closely aligned with Venus. Venus and Pluto are both in 29º of their signs, which is an exalted degree!

The New Moon trines the South Node in Scorpio, making it easier for us to release traumas from the past and allow ourselves to feel whatever needs to be felt.

Mercury in Aquarius is the planet most aspected in this Super New Moon chart. It trines Mars in Gemini, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and squares Uranus in Taurus. All of this will bring an opportunity for greater healing, individually and collectively speaking. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Pisces energy:

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within that exists always and that we can tap into it.

Pisces is accepting and aware of both its temporal and its eternal nature; it understands that we are both singular in nature and also an inseparable part of the universe. It lovingly allows all because it knows separation is an illusion (or conditioning at best) —  that separation only exists in the mind.

At its densest expression, however, Pisces feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world.

We get trapped in this lower vibration when we don’t go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we don’t rest enough, when we can’t trust ourselves — our inner processes and intuitive Selves.

Nature is a wonderful teacher for this — if you start to feel overwhelmed by what you are feeling or experiencing,… Click here to read the whole Super New Moon article and get all the Coaching questions for this month.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-4 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or 29 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. 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 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, the best time to set intentions would be between 2:06am on Feb. 20th and 11:06pm on Feb. 21st and then again from 12:14am until 2:06am on Feb. 22nd (New York-time)

For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, click here

Also, on Monday very early morning at 2:56am EST, Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, dreamy Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active Aries, where it will journey until March 16th.

Until March 16th, we are going to feel passionate about connecting with 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 late morning, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday evening (Feb. 18th); it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete minds 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 are 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?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-15 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? 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).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 13th:

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 8:31pm EST. 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 therefore 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”, and “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 …

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Monday late morning, at 11:01am EST, the last Quarter Moon in 24°5’ of Scorpio becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from when the Moon entered Scorpio, Saturday early afternoon (Feb. 11th). While in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, the Moon makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius.

This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. We are better served during the last Quarter Moon by reviewing any projects begun around the last New Moon — in this case, that would be Jan. 21st — rather than launching new ones.

As best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus, or Leo? f so, you are more affected by this month’s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer since the Sun rules Leo, and the Moon rules Cancer.

Monday evening, at 6:52pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts a little over 1.5 hours until 8:31pm EST. 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.

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

Monday at 8:31pm EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. 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, 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.

Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Aries, making this a great time to explore our individual passions and goals. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your own desires — and get excited about new paths and new projects.

Ask yourself: What might open up if I became more connected to “I am that I am”? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards myself and my personal passions and goals?

What might promote my independence and me walking my own path? What might do the same for growth around my sexuality and my human identity? What personal beliefs about my identity am I now ready to explore or go beyond?

Use this time to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of your personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

Take Actions Towards Healing

This week’s headline items: Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase Tuesday very early morning, and later that day, Uranus resumes its normal pace in the sky. Mercury aligns with Pluto in a late degree of Capricorn on Friday, a day before it changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for 7 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (a little over 2 hours), and Saturday late morning (almost 2 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder & another announcement…

It’s not too late to join us for this week’s Forecasting Forum on Monday, Feb. 6th, at 5pm EST/2pm PST. Get a new perspective on your own personal healing journey! ==> Register by Monday at 4:30pm EST to join live, or register any time to get your own mp4-video presentation to download and keep for as long as you want it!

**&** Again, I am happy to announce that I will be collaborating with the unique and talented Honey Harken, an empowerment-based Sex & Intimacy Guide, for a 2-hour webinar on Feb. 16th at 7:30pm EST called: Leaping forward into Love — A taste of Venus! ==> To get more info or to register for this beautiful online event, please click here.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 6th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 4:14pm EST. 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 and how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

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

Monday, until 4:30pm EST, is your last chance to register for today’s FORECASTING FORUM. If you have been on the fence, now is the time to jump in ==> Click here and join us live or get your mp4-video recording within 24 hours of the live event!

Monday morning, at 9:15am EST, we enter Moon Void of Course (VoC), which lasts for 7 hours until 4:14pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to focus on making realistic choices when connecting with others. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now and focusing on an intellectually realistic and sustainable future.

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

Monday afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 1:26pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday late evening (Feb. 4th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us 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.

Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, or someone else’s words allow the Universe to speak to 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 21-26 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio, or Taurus? 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).

Monday late afternoon, at 4:14pm EST, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning (Feb. 9th), 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.

Practice Gentleness, Be Kind to Yourself 

This week’s headline items: Uranus is still stationing and therefore exalted all week; the Full Moon in 16.5° of Leo becomes exact on Sunday afternoon.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), Wednesday morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for 2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, here is a gentle reminder & an announcement…

A taste of Venus ==> To get more info or to register for this beautiful online event, please click here

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 30th:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 3:35am EST.  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.

Sunday night/Monday very early morning, at 12:52am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC) that will last a little over 2.5 hours, until 3:35am EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regard to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.

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

Monday at 3:35am EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. 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…

Also: last but not least, Uranus (the planet associated with innovations and breakthroughs) is still stationing all week. When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced, sometimes causing discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy picks up speed again around Feb. 7th (when the station phase has ended).

Definitely expect the unexpected. Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures and moving towards a new future that serves others as well as ourselves. Its keyword is “Freedom”: this aspect provides an opportunity to discover how free we actually feel. So… how free do you feel?

Our intuition is very strong and delivers sudden insights and ideas at this time, especially around what needs to change in our lives.

Are you fully expressing your individuality in your financial partnerships and intimate relationships? Are you connecting to a larger vision? Are you finding ways to reinvent yourself (or at least your pocketbook)? Is anything holding you back? What are you more aware of in connection with your unique visions, values, and financial freedoms?

As best as you can during this time, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to messages from the Universe.

Embrace Your Humanity 

This week’s headline items: Uranus will be stationing and exalted all week; Mercury and Mars both end their Station phases at the beginning of this week, both no longer retrograde. Beginning Wednesday evening, it’s time to start taking actions on our New Moon Intentions; on Thursday late evening, Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces; and on Saturday late morning, the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 7 hours), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 2.5 hours), and Friday late afternoon (for a little over 2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

My webinar “2023 – A Look Ahead” will give you a deeper understanding of what to expect this year with all of the planetary and Nodal shifts that are coming up, starting in March ==> If you are curious, feel free to watch an excerpt of this webinar here

“Thanks Sonja ~ great webinar as always, cheers” — Deb E.

“Sonja, this was such a wonderful session. Happy New Year everyone 🌸” — Rachel B.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 23rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 12:36pm EST. 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, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Monday before 5:19am EST and after 12:36pm until 3:53pm EST is our last chance to set New Moon Intentions for this month during the most potent time — if you haven’t already done so on Saturday or Sunday.

If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon 

For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here

Monday early morning, at 5:19am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC) that will last a little over 7 hours, until 12:36pm EST. Use this intuitive time to connect with others, and share your vision for the future. Could you permit yourself to get in touch with your unique spark — and appreciate your inner genius?

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

Monday early afternoon, at 12:36pm EST, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey 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, 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 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”, or “God/Goddess”.

It’s also a great time to allow “what 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? 

Also on Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky (now moving direct in Capricorn), ending its station. Communication and transportation are now back to “normal” as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury Retrograde phase (Dec. 29th – Jan. 18th) can now be reviewed.

Also, from today, January 23rd until April 21st, all planets will be in forward motion. This indicates an accelerated time of manifestation for most of us — especially connected to new projects or ideas.

Ask yourself: What in my life is asking for accelerated progress? What could I do if I had the support of the Universe?

Avoid Jumping in Too Fast 

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s and Uranus’ stations intensify on Monday; on Wednesday morning, Mercury comes to a halt in Capricorn (as its retrograde ends) while also beginning its post-Shadow phase; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Wednesday late morning; the Sun changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Friday very early morning; the New Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Saturday afternoon; and on Sunday early evening, Uranus comes to a halt, ending its 5-months Retrograde phase.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday morning (for a little over 3 hours), Thursday early morning (for 9 hours), and Saturday late morning (for a little over 2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

My newest version of the webinar: “React vs. Respond — Where in the chart can we learn about our Emotional Maturity?” is now available for sale on my website. ==> If you haven’t seen it, click here for more info!

This webinar comes with great handouts that are useful for understanding your relationship to emotional maturity. Remember: This webinar is deeply discounted (for my Members & people on my mailing list only) until Jan. 21st with this discount coupon: RVR4LESS (40% off)

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 16th:

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early afternoon.

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. 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.

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

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, stay present to the fluctuations of your feelings, whether they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace the whole of who you are.

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Also on Monday, Mercury’s Station phase intensifies, as Mercury is preparing to come to a halt on Wednesday morning — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase (more on Wednesday…). During this intensified Station phase (which lasts until Jan. 21st in 8°of Capricorn), we feel Mercury’s energies even more strongly.

Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices, self-mastery, long-term goals, or public achievements. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the Shadow phase that follows).

For the next 5 days, we need to be even more patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with long-term goals, communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. Give yourself and others a lot of space… as best as you can!

This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.

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

Here are some questions you could ask over the next 5 days: Am I feeling mentally scattered? Nervous? Am I overthinking? Am I trying to be in constant mental movement or stimulation? What information is truly needed right now? Am I trying to jump the gun on something?

What would it be like to connect and communicate only what is essential? What will get me 1% closer to that right here and now?

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 6-10 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra.

Lastly, also on Monday, the Uranus Station intensifies until Jan 28th. It will come to a complete halt on Sunday (Jan. 22nd) in almost 15 degrees of Taurus, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase (more about that on Sunday…).

What we talked about on Jan. 8th still applies: when an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced, sometimes causing discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy picks up speed again around Feb. 7th (when the station phase has ended).

Definitely expect the unexpected. Uranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures and moving towards a new future — one that serves others as well as ourselves. Its keyword is “Freedom”: this aspect provides an opportunity to discover how free we actually feel. So… how free do you feel?

As best as you can for the next 3 weeks, pull whatever is “in your face” even closer and take a good long look at it: our intuition will be very strong and deliver sudden insights and ideas, especially around what needs to change in our lives.

Are you expressing your individuality to the fullest in your financial partnerships and intimate relationships? Are you connecting to a larger vision? Are you finding ways to reinvent yourself (or at least your pocketbook)? Is anything holding you back? What are you more aware of in connection with your unique visions, values, and financial freedoms?

Uranus also rules electronics, technology, and the internet — so don’t be surprised by interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are likewise ruled by Uranus, so these will also move more to the forefront of our awareness.

As best as you can during this aspect, stay open and flexible, go with the flow — and pay attention to messages from the Universe

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-17 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you felt this Station phase quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

This week’s headline items: Uranus and Mars still station (and are thus exalted) all week; Mars’ Station intensifies on Wednesday — preparing to end its 2.5-month Retrograde phase late on Thursday afternoon and entering its post-Shadow phase. Mercury slows down (stations) again on Friday as it prepares to end its 3-week Retrograde phase; the last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Saturday late evening.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for almost 13.5 hours), Thursday early evening (for almost 4 hours), and Sunday very early morning (for almost 3.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 9th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. 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, and 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. 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 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 that you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?

Monday late morning, a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 10:22am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday night (Jan. 6th); it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. We tend to feel passionate, highly creative, and energized at this time, with lots of vitality and warmth to share.

We are able to actively bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit. That’s not surprising, considering we radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm — we find it easy during this time to get along with both sexes.

There is also a certain amount of flow when it comes to creativity and athletic abilities: If you knew you could accomplish something now with ease, what would you pick?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of Aquarius, Gemini, 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 Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, and Mars rules Aries) 

Monday evening, at 8:52pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 13.5 hours until 10:15am EST (Tuesday late morning).  Use this intuitive time to focus on making realistic choices when connecting with others. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now and focusing on an intellectually realistic and sustainable future.

Also, be your most authentic, joyful Self when connecting with like-minded people. And, 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 until Thursday late morning ahead of time.

Looking at Things From a Different Angle

This week’s headline items: Mars in Gemini remains exalted all week (stationing); Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius late Monday evening; Chiron ends its Station phase on Wednesday; the Full Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Friday evening; on Sunday, Uranus starts to slow down again (stationing) — preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late afternoon (for 4.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for a little over 14 hours), and Saturday late afternoon/early evening (for almost 4.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, two gentle reminders…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, January 2nd:

Monday is quite a day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in peaceful, steady Taurus until 9:44pm EST. 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 rest of the day? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉

Monday, very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact for the second time within the last 9 days — at 1:44am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Dec. 22nd on; it will remain strong until early Wednesday morning (Jan. 4th) — an unusually long time due to Mercury’s Staton/Retrograde phase.

This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us 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.

Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, or someone else’s words allow the Universe to speak to 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 21-25 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio, or Taurus? 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).

Monday late morning, a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Dec. 30th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday (Jan. 5th). This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within. We might feel less confident about who we are and have a hard time projecting a social “front”. Our conditioning and wounded sense of Self may be out of harmony with each other.

As best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or “less than”. It is perfectly ok to be yourself and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 9-15 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, or Libra? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).

Monday at 5:16pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts until 9:44pm EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other around earthly issues and 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 evening ahead of time

Monday at 9:09pm EST, Venus changes signs from productive, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-oriented, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Jan. 26th. This requires that we provide more freedom in our relationships — we want to improve them and break away from what feels old or stale.

We want our intellectual qualities to be admired; we also want to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — so friendships and networking will be favored for the next 3.5 weeks. We may also consider unusual financial investments. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and arts group activities.

Venus in Aquarius will also be in a mutual reception with Uranus in Taurus for the next 3.5 weeks. This means they are in each other’s signs and support each other’s agenda. This provides an opportunity to bring a common vision and a more humane approach to our interactions and financial future.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? If so, this placement will bring extra love and beauty into your life. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you may feel the need for freedom or change in your relationships more strongly.

And last but not least, Monday at 9:48pm EST, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Thursday morning (Jan. 5th). 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 🙂

Communicate Responsibly & On An Equal Footing

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Station phase intensifies on Tuesday and ends on Sunday; it’s time to take action on our New Moon intentions from Tuesday early afternoon on; the third US Pluto Return of the year becomes exact on Wednesday; Mercury comes to a halt and starts its 3-week Retrograde phase in Capricorn, on Thursday early morning; the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday evening; and Mars starts to slow down again (stationing) on Sunday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for a little over 13 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for a little over 4 hours), and Saturday morning (for almost 4.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 26th:

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday very early morning (Dec. 27th). 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, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Monday very early morning, 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 in ourselves (this in turn, informs our self-worth); as far as possible, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (the Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 2:35am EST) 

Monday afternoon, at 1:19pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last a little over 13 hours, until 2:34am EST (Tuesday every early morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on a long-term vision for your communities that involves a mature and realistic approach. As best as you can, take your time, and do your best to come from a place of integrity.

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

Accept the Validity of Your Anger & Desires

This week’s headline items: The Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday late evening; Jupiter re-enters Aries late Tuesday late morning; Wednesday late afternoon, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere; on Thursday, Neptune’s station ends, and Mercury starts to slow down, beginning its Station phase as it prepares to come to a halt and go retrograde next week; on Friday early morning, Chiron comes to a halt (ending its 5-month Retrograde phase), and a SuperMoon and New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for 4.5 hours); Thursday afternoon (for 11.5 hours), and Saturday late evening (for 4 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I would like to…

…wish you all a wonderful Holiday season and Winter Solstice! It’s been such a treat to reconnect with so many of you over the last several weeks.

If anyone is interested in connecting with me over the holidays, I will be available for Readings and Coaching sessions. If I don’t talk to you during the holidays, may you find peace and inner joy in the coming week!

==> Also! If you want to stay on the pulse of all the planetary shifts for this coming year and see how an understanding of these energies can serve you personally, join me on a monthly basis in 2023.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 19th:

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day; it will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. 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. 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 late morning, a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:23am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Dec. 21st). This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.

We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It’s ok.

If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated — probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.

The more we resist or suppress our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-15 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, or Libra? 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 Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).

Monday afternoon, a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:37pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday afternoon (Dec. 18th); it will remain strong until Tuesday afternoon. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.

This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we engage with. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.

When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can. Ask yourself: How mature and realistic could I allow myself to be?

This combo could also be related to a mental crisis, so as best as you can, take extra care of your mental well-being and focus on long-term goals that support your “mind-body” well-being.

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Capricorn or Gemini? 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 Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars of Aries). 

Monday early evening, an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 5:39pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Tuesday evening (Dec. 13th) on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Dec. 27th) — an unusually long time due to Chiron’s Station phase. This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desires, so we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.

This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take action toward healing our physical, sexual, and spiritual wounds. As best as you can, allow yourself and others to be human while on your path to wholeness and a larger, more purposeful life. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us; we have to make them happen.

Ask yourself: Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if I took a curious approach toward my flaws, quirks, and insecurities? How might this support my healing process? Someone else’s?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo, or Aquarius? 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 Aries (Mars rules Aries).

Monday late evening, around 9:30pm EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 13° of Scorpio. This lasts until Friday early morning when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that later this week… however, feel free to already watch my New Moon video here)

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch; as best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tension. 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?

Sometimes Things Line Up

This week’s headline items: Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Monday; the last Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Friday very early morning; Chiron’s Station intensifies on Saturday.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for almost 17 hours); Friday afternoon (for 36 minutes), and Sunday early afternoon (for 5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, here are two reminders:

• My webinar, “Chiron’s Station Direct in Aries & the Mercury pre-Shadow phase in Capricorn“, is now available for purchase on my webinar-page
• I also recorded a webinar on “The Wounded Masculine: Chiron in Aries – A Holistic Approach to How We Show Up in the World”.
  

  One of the participants said right after the live event: “This is the best presentation I have ever seen on Chiron”.

  
  Another Astrologer said: “I have not yet used Chiron in my Readings with my clients, but now I will”.
  

  This webinar was part of a 12- lecture conference ==> Click here for more info and to watch a trailer. This collection of Astrology webinars comes to less than $13 per lecture with the Package deal!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, December 12th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day; it will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. 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, and 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. 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 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 that you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?

Monday early afternoon, an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 1:12pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build last Friday evening (Dec. 9th); it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.

We have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our lives and how we live. This is an opportunity to become more aware of the bigger picture and our perspectives on society and our various networks or affiliations — and also how a larger view could benefit us, both in terms of our long-term visions within the collective and for our own individual journey of growth and expanded horizons.

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 18-24 degrees of Sagittarius, Aquarius, Libra, or Aries? 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 Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn).

Also on Monday, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase when it reaches 8°9’ of Capricorn; this is 2.5 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on Dec. 29th at 24º21′ of Capricorn)

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 again through the degrees of a sign (or signs) it had already passed through before and during its Retrograde phase. Mercury is usually in its shadow for about two to three weeks before a retrograde and 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 Feb. 7th (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”

Get a better idea of how to make good use of the Mercury pre-Shadow phase, so you can have a better experience during the upcoming Mercury Retrograde phase, by watching our latest webinar about the “Mercury’s pre-Shadow phase in Capricorn & Chiron’s Station Direct” ==> Click here for more info.
