A Delicate Balance — Forecast for September 23rd – 29th

This week’s headline items: Pluto’s station phase remains strong all week, while Saturn’s ends on Saturday. The Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Monday afternoon, marking the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, and the New Moon in Libra becomes exact on Saturday afternoon.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early evening (for a little over 11 hours), Wednesday early afternoon (for almost 18.5 hours), Friday very late evening (for a little over 6 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 7.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 23rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for today 😉

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don’t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday very early morning, at 3:50am EDT, the Sun changes signs from practical Virgo to harmony-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Oct. 23rd. This signifies the beginning of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere of this planet. The Fall Equinox is an 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 Libra, we are being called to pay attention to our relationships. Bringing equality, cooperation and balance to our dealings with the world is recommended during this time. We have a keen awareness of issues concerning justice and we are more likely to take a stand against injustice, especially when it’s directed against others.

However, we also want to keep the peace, so we may use language and our intellect to diplomatically address such issues. We can see all sides of a situation — and therefore it’s not always easy to make the “right” choices. Our desire for harmony is great;  more often than not — consciously or unconsciously — we may find ourselves seeking the approval of others.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Libra Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Libra, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more aware of the delicate balance that is required internally and externally in your life.

Monday morning, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to expand our horizons and learn more about life, other cultures, religions, philosophies, etc. — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body and what already feels familiar.

Monday early afternoon, we may take an all-or-nothing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors… As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.

Monday at 6:05pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 11 hours until 5:19am EDT (Tuesday early morning). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to look into the details of your life that make up your daily routines, and see if they are in alignment with you… Are your needs being met? Do your daily routines leave you feeling nurtured?

It is also an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and take actions around things that could improve everyone’s well-being — this could include health issues or concerns, or simply looking at our nutrition and what feeds us…

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can,…

 Feeling Restless? — Forecast for Sept. 16th – 22nd

This week’s headline items: Saturn comes to a halt in Capricorn on Wednesday early morning, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase. On Saturday, the third Jupiter/Neptune Square of the year becomes exact, as does the last Quarter Moon in Gemini, while Pluto’s Station intensifies on Sunday.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for 18.5 hours), Thursday late morning (for 7 hours), and Saturday late evening (for a little over 2 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:

Now, this week’s Forecast:

Monday, Sept. 16th:

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Monday very early morning, we feel an enthusiasm for personal achievement and exploration; in particular, we have an urge to explore something new that helps us develop an all-around understanding of the bigger picture. What might you be able to explore right now that you haven’t so far? What’s calling to you?

Monday at 12:03pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 18.5 hours until 6:31am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, follow your inner compass and take care of your own needs; on the other hand, deepen your authentic connection to whatever you are building 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 early afternoon until Tuesday morning ahead of time.

Monday early afternoon, a Mercury/Chiron opposition becomes exact at 12:55pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from, last week Saturday evening  (Sept. 14th) on , it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We can balance our ability to think and speak justly with any wounding and insecurity around the masculine energies (asserting ourselves, going after something, or being actively engaged with life and others).

This aspect may play out in a relationship, with each of you living out one side of the equation. We may experience guilt or shame around something we said or didn’t say.

If you feel triggered by someone else (or vice versa), as best as you can, direct compassion and kindness towards both of you. Ask yourself: Is this connected to my past and/or upbringing? What if this were an opportunity to embrace my wounded inner child with love and kindness?

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in degrees of 1-7 Libra, Aries, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect. 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).

Monday early evening, calls for 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,….

September 9th – 15th

Spirit Beings in a Physical World — Forecast for Sept. 9th – 15th

This week’s headline items: Saturn starts its Station Phase (in Capricorn) on Tuesday, and on Friday, Pluto likewise, starting its own Station Phase in Capricorn. The Full Moon becomes exact in Pisces and Mercury changes signs from Virgo to Libra early Saturday morning; later that morning, Venus changes signs, from Virgo to Libra as well. Saturn’s Station phase intensifies on Sunday.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for almost 13 hours), Wednesday very early morning (28.5 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (18 hours).

Monday, Sept. 9th:

Monday, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 5:24pm EDT. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.

As best as you can during this time, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master until Dec. 2020. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.

For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life — as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc.? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.

Monday very early morning, a harmonious Mars/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 12:14am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening (Sept. 4th) on; it will be strong until this Friday (Sept. 13th). This aspect brings more self-discipline, maturity, focus, purpose and self-motivation.

We tend to be more practical than usual; our progress in most projects may be slow, but it will always be steady — as you can imagine, this can be a very productive period, as we are able to take responsibility for our long-term goals and the foundations we are currently building. We can bring honesty and realism to the world, seeing what works and what doesn’t work for us, and we approach things with integrity.

This is an especially favorable aspect for those employed in any of the following industries: Health and wellness, service-oriented industries like consulting, accounting, house cleaning,  — and for independent contractors and the self-employed in general.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn, or Taurus? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Capricorn (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Monday at 4:30am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 13 hours until 5:24pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to gain clarity about what’s important to you long-term. Ask yourself: What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? What do I see now, that I can easily implement, that I couldn’t before?

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 the late afternoon ahead of time.

Monday at 5:24pm EDT, the Moon move into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Thursday morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

Social gatherings, anything connected with…

Burning the Candle at Both Ends — Forecast for Sept. 2nd – 8th

This week’s headline items: Beginning Tuesday, it’s time to take actions on your New Moon Intentions, the first Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact late on Thursday evening, and there will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for 15 hours), Wednesday morning (a little over 16 hours) and Friday early afternoon (just over 18.5 hours).

Monday, September 2nd:

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 7:35pm EDT. 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. Today is 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 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 4:34am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 15 hours until 7:35pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what you want to build 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 early morning until the evening ahead of time.

Monday morning, a Sun/Mars alignment in almost 9 degrees of Virgo becomes exact at 6:42am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from August 24th on (soon after the Sun entered Virgo), it will remain strong until September 10th – (due to the Sun and Mars staying within a 3 degree orb until then: 15-18º of Virgo).

This alignment brings a lot of energy to our personal projects/goals and our health and wellbeing. We feel more confident and capable to accomplish anything brand-new; we are also more excited to tackling something challenging.

Being active and taking action comes quite easily and naturally with this combo. One thing to watch out for: we have the tendency now to be burning the candle at both ends; this could lead to exhaustion and physical burn-out.

This is a great time to start new projects that are connected to our physical bodies, our health/wellbeing, our daily routines, or our passions; anything that requires inspirational leadership and taking precise actions is a perfect match for this alignment as well.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-18 degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, or Gemini? If so, you will feel the effects of this alignment more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries).

Monday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday, August 30th on, it will remain strong until Wednesday, September 4th. This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around money and relationships.

We have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.

We mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time — but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending, overindulging and over-promising could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.

As best as you can, weigh the benefits and limitations of any given situation or relationship (including those that lie within yourself or the other people involved), then base your decisions on what works best in the moment. Ask yourself: If I were less concerned with morality and “rightness”, what might I perceive about this from a neutral rather than a personal perspective?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-18 degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, or Gemini? 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 Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Monday at 7:35pm EDT, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉

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

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

Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can 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 Moon placement, so as best as you are able,…

New & Unusual Directions — Forecast for Aug. 26th – Sept. 1st

This week’s headline items: the Uranus station ends on Monday; the Balsamic Moon phase starts on Tuesday morning; Mercury changes signs from Leo to Virgo on Thursday early morning; and the New Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Friday morning.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for 15 hours), Wednesday evening (just under 24 hours), and Saturday early morning (roughly 14.5 hours).

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 26th:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key until Tuesday evening 😉

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday: Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How are you doing at honoring your own individuality?

Monday very early morning, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.

Monday early morning, brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security.

Monday late morning, a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 11:38am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (Aug. 23rd) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Aug. 28th). This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment — but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.

This is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one 🙂

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Virgo, Taurus, or Capricorn? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Monday early evening, we may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others. This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to stay grounded in reality.

Monday evening, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to expand our horizons and learn more about life, other cultures, religions, etc. — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.

Monday late evening, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and…

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for a brief 29 minutes), Thursday early evening (a not-so-brief 17 hours), and Sunday very early morning (for a little over 14 hours).

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 19th:

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey there until Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Monday late morning, things flow nicely, and we feel excited about new adventures. There is an ease around connecting with others and communicating in a heartfelt way. We have an opportunity to take playful actions that support our projects.

Monday early evening, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly incompatible situations. On the one hand, we are invited to focus on building solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway. Some helpful questions you could ask yourself: What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?

On the other hand, we have this need to make time for personal desires and needs; here, you could ask yourself: What does my inner teenager require to be happy at this time?

Also, Monday early evening, we feel an enthusiasm for personal achievement and exploration; in particular, we have an urge to explore something new that helps us develop an all-around understanding of…

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 12th:

Monday, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.

As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.

For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.

Monday morning, we experience a sense of maturity, and commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.

Monday late morning, we have an opportunity to soften our need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach.

Monday afternoon, we are in 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, the desire to have fun with others, and create something beautiful — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.

Monday at 6:11pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 17.5 hours until 11:35am EDT (Tuesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. We might get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care 😉

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

August 5th – 11th

How Free Do You Feel? — Forecast for Aug. 5th – 11th

This week’s headline items: Uranus’s Station phase intensifies on Monday, and that same day is when we can also start taking actions on our New Moon Intentions. Mercury’s station ends on Tuesday, the first Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon, Jupiter’s station intensifies on Thursday (and comes to a halt on Sunday morning — ending its 4-month Retrograde phase), Mercury changes sign from Cancer to Leo on Sunday afternoon, and Uranus comes to a halt on Sunday late evening, starting it’s 5-month Retrograde phase.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for 8 hours), Thursday late morning (for a little over 5.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for 9 hours).

Quick announcement before we get started:
If you missed some of the Astrology Summit this weekend, or all of it… don’t worry, you can still get the ALL ACCESS PASS and you can watch all 12 lectures whenever you like.
PS: All Access Pass is only $97 through 11pm EDT tonight. Then goes up to $125.00

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 5th:

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. 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 two 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 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 after 6:25am EDT, it’s time to take actions on our New Moon intentions: if you set Intentions last week Wednesday night, Thursday, or Friday — after the New Moon became exact — today (Monday) will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?

Monday late morning, we have an opportunity to connect with others for collaboration and an exploration of our beliefs about life. What does expansion of the mind look like? How might a wider view support our connections with others?

Also, Monday late morning, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.

Monday afternoon, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?

Monday late evening, we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.

Also Monday, Uranus’s Station phase intensifies — and will appear to move particularly slowly through the sky until Aug. 19th. It will come to a complete halt on August 11th in 6.5 degrees of Taurus and begin its 5-month retrograde phase.

When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced, and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy picks up speed again around August 26th.

Definitely expect the unexpected while this is going on: 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 three 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. What if you expressed your individuality to the fullest? What does the “larger vision” look like? Where is the obstacle?

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 move more to the forefront of 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 😉

Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with a…

July 29th – August 4th

Flexibility & Creative Solutions — Forecast for July 29th – Aug. 4th

This week’s headline items: Uranus starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday, preparing for its annual Retrograde phase. Late on Wednesday evening, Mercury goes direct in Cancer, and Eclipse season ends as the New Moon in Leo becomes exact. On Friday, Jupiter begins to station, as it prepares to end its 4-month Retrograde.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 10 hours), Thursday late afternoon (for 16.5 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 9 hours).

Quick announcement before we get started:

PS: Can’t make the summit dates? No problem. Get the ALL ACCESS PASS now and you can watch the recordings whenever you like.

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 29th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 7:31am EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.

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

Monday late afternoon, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.

Monday early evening, brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security.

Monday evening, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 7:14pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening (July 26th) on; it will be strong until Thursday evening (August 1st). Routines and plans — especially those connected with creative endeavors, children, romance, parties or sporting events — are quite likely to experience disruption, calling for flexibility and creative solutions.

During this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless — maybe even anxious — but if we’re unclear on what is in our best interest, we might focus on things that don’t serve us in the long run.

As best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being… “haste makes waste” during this aspect 😉

You can think of this as “reorganizing” time — like rearranging your furniture — try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in…

Time for Gratitude – Forecast for July 22nd – 28th

This week’s headline items: the Sun changes sign from Cancer to Leo, late Monday evening, Chiron’s station ends on Tuesday, the last Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact Wednesday late evening, Mercury starts to slow down again on Friday, as it prepares to end its Retrograde, and Venus changes sign from Cancer to Leo late Saturday evening.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for almost 1.5 hours), Wednesday late morning (for almost 7 hours), Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for 2 hours) and Sunday late morning (for 20 hours).

Quick announcement before we get started:
Join the Fresh Voices in Astrology Summit on Aug 3rd and 4th! Join us for an entire weekend of Astrology, online… I will be one of 12 astrologers speaking at the summit.

PS: Can’t make the summit dates? No problem. Get the ALL ACCESS PASS now and you can watch the recordings whenever you like.

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 22nd:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 6:02am EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal.

Monday at 4:34am EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 1.5 hours until 6:02am EDT. This is an intuitive time; if you are awake, use it to connect with family (or those who feel “familiar”), to form emotional connections, and to allow the flow of your feelings — allowing creative or spiritual presence to move through 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 morning ahead of time.

Monday at 6:02am EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Monday at 10:50pm EDT, the Sun changes signs from sensitive, protective Cancer to fun-loving, extroverted, expressive Leo, where it will journey until Aug. 23rd. With the Sun in Leo, we are more inclined to connect to our heart and follow our joy: it’s a great time for gratitude, compliments, and playfulness.

In many ways, happy children embody the best of the Leo qualities: they are creative, playful, self-expressed and follow their hearts. Who could you be if you lived from your “inner child” more fully for the next four weeks?

If you have a Leo Sun-sign or Rising-sign, this means…

There are only two Moon VoC phases this week, but they’re both pretty long: Tuesday late afternoon (for a little over 11.5 hours) and Thursday late morning/early afternoon (over 29 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have two quick announcements:

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 15th:

Monday, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning.  We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.

For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop. This Moon placement starts the build up to the Full Moon (exact Tuesday late afternoon).

Monday morning: we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key 😉

Also on Monday morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people, and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment. We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable.

Monday early afternoon, we are in 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, the urge to be creative, self-expressed, and playing full-out — and on the other, the desire to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged; we are invited to…

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement:
Last chance to sign up for this week’s Forecasting Forum! Live this Thursday (July 11th) at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time). Please note that we’ll talk about this month’s Eclipses: Solar eclipse in Cancer, Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn.

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 8th:

Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo and VoC until 2:07am EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning. 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 two 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 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. This Moon placement start the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact Tuesday morning)

Monday morning, a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:42am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (July 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday (July 10th). 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 though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being 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 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 3-9 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn 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 late morning, an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 11:32am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (July 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning (July 10th). This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others — to do something different or unusual — freedom plays a big part in this aspect.

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

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

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).

Also, Monday late morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Sunday late evening (July 7th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (July 9th). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.

More profoundly though, we may feel challenged, as we realize that we are being overly enthusiastic with others. That high optimism may also drive us to take on more than we can physically handle. If we do start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at how we use our energy: Are we in tune with our emotional body?

It’s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our experience of life… Can we stay open to new philosophies or perspectives on life and what it offers to us? And even perhaps stay open toward our desire for more expansion or personal/spiritual growth?

Holding on to the past will not serve us now, nor will fear of anything other than the familiar; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your emotional body — keep tuning into, and taking care of, your “inner baby”.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-17 degrees of Cancer or Sagittarius? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)

Monday early evening, a Mercury/Mars alignment in almost 4.5 degrees of Leo becomes exact at 6:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Tuesday evening (July 2nd) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday (July 11th). This alignment might speed up our thinking (and possibly also our driving 😉

We communicate with curiosity, enthusiasm and energy, especially when it has to do with sports, fun activities, games, risk-taking activities, creative engagements, children — and anything connected to love and romance. We get to the very heart of a subject.

Something to be aware of: We may take things a little too personally. This defensiveness could make it challenging for others to engage in healthy dialogue with us. We may focus too much on ourselves and get attached to being “right” over being happy.

As best as you can, appreciate yourself, life and others — and honor your heart. If you find yourself having impatient thoughts and behaviors, draw a deep breath into your lower belly and feel the the breath soothing your solar plexus, bringing you back to your center…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-8 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Aries (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).

Monday evening, at 7:40pm EDT, Chiron comes to a halt in almost 6 degrees of Aries. As you may recall from last week, Chiron is the wounded healer; in Aries, it brings our attention towards our physical and sexual wounds, as well as wounding around our self-identity and the masculine energies. Watch out for any triggers that are connected to your past.

This is the beginning of Chiron’s 5-month retrograde phase, that lasts until Dec. 12th (moving backwards to 1.5 degrees of Aries). Until Dec. 12th, we are getting a chance to connect to, and investigate our wounds and insecurities on a more internal level.

We may need to put any wounds around the masculine approach to things under the magnifying glass — while they are there, do your best to take a closer look at how you might bring compassion and understanding to them. What might you discover about those wounds, if you really looked? How could others benefit from your discoveries?

July 1st – 7th

Rooted in Fertile Ground — Forecast for July 1st – 7th

This week’s headline items: Mars changes signs, moving from Cancer to Leo on Monday evening; the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Wednesday late morning; we can start to set our Solar Eclipse intentions on Thursday afternoon; Mercury’s station intensifies on Thursday, and the planet comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 3-week Retrograde phase.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early evening (for a little over 3.5 hours), Wednesday late morning (for almost 13 hours), Friday very early morning (for 22 hours), and Sunday early afternoon (for a little over 13 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement:
I am honored to say that I have been ask to speak at “Fresh Voices in Astrology”, a 2-day virtual Astrology Summit in August, presented by AstrologyUniversity. My segment is called “React vs. Respond — Where in the chart can we learn about our emotional maturity?, and I will be delivering it on Saturday, Aug. 3rd at 3pm PDT/6pm EDT. If you want to see 13 wonderful talks from Astrologers that weekend, keep it open in your calendar: It’s free, and it promises to be amazing!

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 1st:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 9:24pm EDT. For the next few hours, 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 5:48pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 3.5 hours until 9:24pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.

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 evening ahead of time.

Monday evening, at 7:19pm EDT, Mars changes signs from protective, emotional, safety-oriented Cancer to fun-loving, risk-taking Leo, where it will journey until August 16th. This is a particularly vital position for Mars.

For these next six and a half weeks we will feel a strong need to create in some way. Passions tend to run high, as do desire, will, enthusiasm — and our appetite for risk.

Our ego is tied up with our actions — anything we do becomes a source of great pride — and tempts us to “prideful” positioning. If we can move forward on our personal goals, especially those in alignment with our heart, we could become inspirational leaders.

If you have an Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more fun-loving and competitive; it likely will be a more active time in your life. If you are a Leo Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized and passionate for the next 6.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project with your children (or your inner child) might be advisable.

Monday at 9:24pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.

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

Also, Monday: this is the last day before the Solar Eclipse in Cancer becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed. Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse, if you haven’t seen it yet 😉

This is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.

It comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?

Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to July 2018 — the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Cancer. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?

As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.

Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and…

June 24th – 30th

Beyond Learned Knowledge — Forecast for June 24th – 30th

This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Tuesday morning, Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Wednesday evening — and starts its Station phase Saturday. Chiron’s Station intensifies on Sunday.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday evening (for 3.5 hours), Thursday very early morning (just over 5.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement:

Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 24th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 10:38pm EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

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

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

Monday in morning, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (June 21st) on, it will be strong until this Wednesday. We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money — so it’s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas — if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it’s likely you will not see things as they truly are.

We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love — if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days — it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-22 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 Taurus, Libra or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces)

Monday at 7:10pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 3.5 hours, until 10:38pm EDT. This is an intuitive time; use it to share about your past, and to offer loving and compassionate support to yourself and 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 evening until the late evening ahead of time.

Monday at 10:38pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build up towards…
