This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted all week; Mercury, now in its retrograde phase, continues its Station phase until Friday; the first Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Mercury ends its Station phase on Friday (remaining retrograde until May 14th).
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for almost 7 hours), and Saturday morning (for a little over 8 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, April 24th:
Monday,the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Geminiuntil 2:58pm EDT. Until that time, 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 morning, around 7am EDT,the Sun aligns with the North Node in 4º of Taurus. We have been feeling this alignment from last week, Friday (April 21st) on, and it will still feel quite strong until this Thursday (April 27th). It calls on us to become more aware of our personal physical reality (i.e. our body and resources) and the connection we have with our planet.
When we learn to have a healthy relationship with our body and this planet, we can experience more abundance and greater trust in our intrinsic value, and thus feel more fulfilled and satisfied with our lives. It will pay to take a practical approach, and allow ourselves to learn about alternative material resources, or gather resources that allow us to better enjoy this physical reality; the same is true of any flexible earning strategies.
Ask yourself: What simple step could I take to be more realistically connected to my body, finances, and talents? Could I allow myself to not get attached to one specific outcome? Where could I learn about “healthy” financial skills? What might be possible if I truly honored myself and my physical experience, allowing myself to see my value, every day, no matter what?
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo? If so, you will feel more influenced by this alignment. If you are a Taurus Sun-sign or Rising-sign, for as long as the Sun and the North Node are in your sign, you may very well feel a strong need to honor & love yourself and connect to your body and the Earth — in fact, this is about setting a healthy example for others.
Monday morning, at 8:15am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 6.5 hours, until 2:58pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — you may also need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to your inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning until the afternoon ahead of time.
Monday afternoon, at 2:58pm EDT,the Moon enters protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Thursday very 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 the next two days
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.

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
Thank you, Sonja.This was so helpful as usual.And, thanks to everyone for listening and witnessing.Have a great month filled with gratitude!” — Cathy E.

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Station phase in Taurus intensifies on Monday; Pluto’s Station phase in Aquarius continues all week and intensifies on Sunday; A North Node Solar Eclipse in Aries becomes exact Wednesday night/very early on Thursday; the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus early Thursday morning; Mercury comes to a halt to start its 3-week Retrograde phase early Friday morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 6 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (17 minutes), and Friday late evening (6.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please remember that…
A Powerful New Moon and Solar Eclipse becomes exact on Wednesday night. Please wait to set your Solar Eclipse Intentions until 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact.
This is because we are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are pretty intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions, …so please wait until Saturday morning to set your Intentions.
Monday,the Moon remains in creative, sensitivePisces until 9:09pm EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
Monday afternoon, at 2:57pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 6 hours until 9:09pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon until the late evening ahead of time.
Monday late evening, at 9:09pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday 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.
This Moon placement also starts the build-up to the Solar Eclipse in Aries, which will be exact on Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning — feel free to watch my video on the subject.
Also, on Monday,Mercury’s Station intensifies, as Mercury is preparing to come to a halt on Friday early morning (beginning its 3-week Retrograde phase). As I mentioned last week Saturday already, during the station phase, we feel Mercury’s energies more strongly. It will remainat its most intensifieduntil April 25th.
Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, finances, short travels, transportation of any kind, and communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury has ended its Retrograde phase (to be more precise, during the Shadow phase that follows).
Here are some questions you could ask yourself during the Mercury Station phase: Is my mind drawn to physical beauty? Do I want to enjoy my own body and my physical surroundings? Perhaps get out into nature? Do I find myself constantly thinking about how to have a more materially satisfying life?
What would it be like to communicate in a realistic, down-to-earth way with others? What about listening with the intention of honoring myself? What will get me one baby step closer to that, right here, right now?
For the next nine days, we need to be extra patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with luxury items, communication, or transportation and their associated technologies — this is not the best time to start anything brand-new, particularly if it contains new information connected to financial undertakings.
We might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere — and that goes for the journey itself, too — especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.
Be extra patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected to planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after May 31st, when Mercury’s post-Shadow phase is over.
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 13-17 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius.

On April 19th/20th, at 12:13am EDT, a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse becomes exact inan exalted degree of Aries— 29 degrees and 50 minutes! That’s only 10 minutes shy of 0 degrees of Taurus. This launches a new Moon and Eclipse cycle.
This is a Hybrid Solar Eclipse which is not observable from the U.S., but will be visible from western Australia, East Timor, and Eastern Indonesia.
Hybrid Solar Eclipses shift from “Total” to “Annular” as the Moon’s shadow races over the Earth. According to Space.com, these Eclipses are quite rare, occurring just a few times every century.
Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that occur approximately every six months — this is the first in 2023 and the first Solar Eclipse in Aries (in this particular Eclipse cycle that will be in effect until January 2025). You may also want to watch my Solar Eclipse video.
During a Solar Eclipse, the Moon momentarily interrupts the normal flow of Solar Radiation, destabilizing existing energy configurations and reorganizing consciousness to a higher level. Solar Eclipses indicate the beginning of a new experience, project, or cycle.
Eclipses usually come in pairs (Solar and Lunar), and “Eclipse seasons” start with the Lunation that precedes the first Eclipse and ends with the Lunation that follows the last Eclipse.
This Eclipse season began on April 6th, when the Full Moon in Libra became exact. It will end 14 days after the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio that follows this Solar Eclipse with the New Moon in Taurus (in other words, by May 19th).
While Eclipse season is underway, allow for new templates to download, stay centered, and do your best to ground from within — try using conscious breathing and conscious flexibility — and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body. And remember, this will only last for a while: on May 19th, the downloads are complete.
Eclipses are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release and recalibration of some sort — “old” codes will get deleted and new ones downloaded — and for this Eclipse, this is especially true in connection with our relationship to our human identity and our sense of agency in the world — in other words, how capable we feel to get things done.
This begins with our role in our interactions with others, whether we are capable of being direct with others about our personal goals and passions, and whether we can inspire others to follow our example. This helps us be more aware of how passionate we are about life or what’s missing to get us back on track with our passion-projects.
The Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse, alternating between North and South Node Eclipses, emphasizing the evolutionary upgrades available to us during such times.
This is the first North Node Solar Eclipse in Aries since 2004. The Moon Nodes will move into the Aries-Libra polarity on July 17th, 2023, and land on the Solar Eclipse degree. So it is safe to say that something will happen around July 18th that will resonate back to what began around April 20th…to read the whole Solar Eclipse article and get access to all of the Coaching questions, click here.
North Node Eclipses help us move towards a new exploration of an energy that promotes our Soul’s evolution. They ask us to focus on the energies of the sign involved in the Eclipse (Aries, in this case) and work with the lighter/higher frequencies of those energies as much as possible. They highlight our ability for individual and collective growth and evolution.
Eclipses are crossroads or turning points along our Soul’s Journey. They are often marked by events or situations that signify a critical shift in our lives, nudging us to either change and grow or face more significant difficulties at the next turning point.
In this case, the next turning point will be on July 22nd — when the Sun ina late degree of Cancer squares this month’s Solar Eclipse degree.
Solar Eclipses, in particular, often correspond to significant endings and beginnings. They occur close to the same degree every 19 years, and the last time we had a Solar Eclipse in this particular degree and sign was on April 19th, 2004.
We will likely experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonance”, not repetition — so think back to the Spring of 2004 and ask yourself: Were there any major endings and beginnings? What was important to me back then? If I were to take those priorities to the next level, where would that next level find me?
If you’re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart — the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest to embrace a healthy sense of Self and rise to a new level of consciousness around independence and forging your path.
Solar Eclipses are also a good time to go within and seed anything we would like to learn over the next six months — we’ll dig into this in more detail towards the end of this article when we talk about setting Solar Eclipse Intentions. Setting Intentions for Solar Eclipses differs from a regular New Moon! So stay tuned!
Since this Eclipse is the second oftwo New Moons in a row in the same sign within the last 30 days (called a Black Moon), we are getting an extra dose of our inner warrior energy.
The very last degree (or more specifically, the last 10 minutes)of a sign is also quite potent and tells us that we are invited to deepen that which got initiated — at the time of the Super New Moon on March 21st — over the next six months.
Here are some things to note in this New Moon/Solar Eclipse chart:
We have two planets in an exalted state: Mercury in Taurus starts its Retrograde phase the day after the Eclipse becomes exact, and Pluto in Aquarius is also exalted, preparing to come to a halt and going retrograde on May 1st.
One planet conjuncts the Eclipse(Jupiter in Aries)
One planet squares the Eclipse (an exalted Pluto)—
Jupiter and Pluto are both non-personal planets (and thus impact the collective as well as the individual)
Mars, the ruler of Aries, currently in Cancer,squares Chiron in Ariesand sextiles Mercury in Taurus

Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º… so since this Solar Eclipse takes place in 29º50‘ of Aries:
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 24-29 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, or 0-5 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)
Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle rather than just the next 28 days.
Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact. This is because we are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are pretty intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions — that said, we do not want to set them during a Moon void of course.
Given all this, here are the best and most potent times to set your Intentions for this Solar Eclipse: Between 6:11am, on April 22nd, and 12:13am, on April 23/24th. Note that all times above are given in US Eastern Time — i.e., the New York time zone.
Set powerful intentions — remember, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Aries energy!
If you live in a timezone other than EDT and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and following me on Twitter, as I post reminders on those platforms when it’s time to set your intentions.

This week’s headline items: Venus changes signs from Taurus to Gemini very early Tuesday; on Wednesday, Mercury slows down (stations) in Taurus, preparing for its second Retrograde phase of the year; the last Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Thursday early morning; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Sunday afternoon.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday morning (for almost 7 hours), Thursday late morning (for 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (almost 8 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, April 10th:
Monday,the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
Monday early afternoon, we might find ourselves wanting to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart aimed at renewing our enthusiasm for life. We are capable of being compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best.(the Moon in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:28pm EDT)
Monday late afternoon, we experience a need for 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 mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need for breakthroughs or change connected to the physical plane.
We need to ask ourselves here: What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable? Or 5% more comfortable embracing uncertainty?(the MooninSagittarius quincunxes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 3:29pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we have lots of energy and a positive attitude towards life. This is a great time to create, explore, and become part of something new and exciting.
If you are awake, start something you feel passionate or enthusiastic about — what projects come to mind? What would be a fantastic use for all the physical energy that you currently have access to? (the Moon inSagittarius trines the Sun and Jupiter in Aries, exact at 9:48pm &10:55pm EDT)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, at 12:47am EDT, Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual Taurus to chatty, social, versatile Gemini. Venus, the energy of love, “relating” and finances will journey through Gemini until May 7th. For the next 4 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.
We love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don’t get bored, we will stick around — but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 4 weeks, and humor plays a part in all our relationships.
Our finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don’t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed or wide dispersal of resources — it’s a great time for short-term investments.
As best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini — you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a Gemini Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
Thank you, Sonja.This was so helpful as usual.And, thanks to everyone for listening and witnessing.Have a great month filled with gratitude!” — Cathy E.

This week’s headline items: Mercury changes sign from Aries to Taurus on Monday early afternoon; the Full Moon in Libra becomes exact on Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning — this also starts Eclipse Season. Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Friday, and Pluto slows down a bit starting Sunday as it gets ready to come to a halt before it goes Retrograde three weeks from now.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 30 hours), and Sunday early morning (almost 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I last reminder:
We have two fantastic events this week:
1) Wednesday, April 5th at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT: our Mini-Retreat “Leap forward into Love — A Taste of Venus”. So join us live and explore what it means to have a healthy relationship with yourself! LIVE ONLY!
2) Friday, April 7th at 5pm ET/2pm PT: our next Monthly Forecasting Forum about the upcomingEclipse Season and Pluto’s journeythroughAquarius. Get a sense of how this impacts you personally. MP4 recording is available within 24 hours after the live event.
Monday,the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early evening; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.
Mondayearly afternoon, at 12:22pm EDT, Mercury changes signs from enthusiastic, fast-paced Aries to steady, peacefulTaurus, where it will journey for an unusually long time, until June 11th, due to its upcoming Mercury Retrograde phase (in late April-May).
For the next 10 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way, and we “say it like it is”. We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.
A well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the “tasteful” in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.
When it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 10 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (“what use is it to me?”) and attach it to the practical world.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses”.
Monday afternoon, a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:55pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (April 1st); it will remain strong until this Wednesday. This aspect could create some tension in our lives. We may feel anxious or stressed by one or more situations or interactions to do with financial or personal resources.
We are being invited to grow and make some changes in our lives, particularly in terms of our thinking processes. We are being asked to find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by continually taking a courageously heartfelt approach and by being authentic and heart-centered in our self-expression.
We have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.
However, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regard to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus, and effort now.
We have a great love of debate but should be careful that we don’t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to “convert” them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. We may also want to dial back on taking things personally!
As best as you can, connect to others, empowering them with what you feel passionate about. Choose your words with care and speak from a deeply connected and empowered place. Remember: Love expands us — and does the same for other people, and even life itself — while fear paralyzes!
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in degrees of 0-3 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo, or 27-29 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)

This week’s headline items: Pluto sees its first whole week in Aquarius; the first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Venus makes a strong connection with Uranus in Taurus on Thursday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (a little over 9 hours), Thursday late morning (almost 9 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (nearly 5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I want to remind everyone:
We have two fantastic events next week: 1) Wednesday, April 5th at 7:30pm ET/4:30pm PT: our Mini-Retreat “Leap forward into Love — A Taste of Venus”. So join us live and explore what it means to have a healthy relationship with yourself ==> Register & get the Early Registration Fee until April 4th at midnight ET, here.
Monday,the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. Until then, we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged, we might as well curl up and play dead…
Monday early morning, we have an opportunity to connect with others and courageously share our passions. What might become possible if we were to exchange information with others, with the goal to inspire someone to learn something brand-new? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Mercury in Aries, exact at 3:39am EDT)
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 6:57am EDT)
Monday late evening, at 9:39pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last a little over 9 hours until 6:22am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — you may also need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to your inner or emotional experiences. Be gentle with yourself and others as far as possible, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
As always with a Moon VoC, don’t start anything brand-new; stick to your routine, or go with the flow as best as you can. You may also want to plan ahead of time from Monday late evening until Tuesday morning.

On March 23rd, 2023, Pluto changed signs for the very first time in 247 years from practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-loving, forward-thinking, and objective Aquarius. It made its first pass through Aquarius from March 23rd until June 11th, 2023.
It will pass through Aquarius a second time, until Sept. 1st, 2024, make a third pass on Nov. 19th, 2024 – March 2043, then a fourth and final pass between Sept. 1st, 2043, and Jan. 19th, 2044.
The first short visit into Aquarius for two months and three weeks gave us some insight as to what themes we will be dealing with over the next 20 years when Pluto returns and stays for good in Aquarius in 2024-2044.
Pluto represents our connection to Higher Power, Soul’s will, or Soul Purpose. If we think of a Pluto transit as a process guided by our Soul, or our Higher Self, why would we not trust that process?
You can ask yourself: Am I attached to any particular social outcomes? Am I becoming obsessed with my networks? Or my affiliation with a particular group? Or perhaps my “causes”? Could I notice what’s toxic in my life? What’s disempowering?
Could I allow myself to be 100% authentic about the “why” before I begin something? Before I engage with anything or anyone?
As Pluto is always a long-term empowerment process, we are looking to become more conscious of our social roles and how we can transform social norms and bring about…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel the impact of Pluto’s deep and transformative transit through Aquarius more fully; this is especially true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Scorpio since Pluto rules Scorpio — you might also find that you are drawn toward deeper connections with the like-minded.

This week’s headline items: the Spring Equinox begins Monday late afternoon when the Sun enters Aries; Tuesday afternoon, the Super New Moon in Aries becomes exact; Pluto leaves Capricorn for the first time in 15 years and enters Aquarius on Thursday morning; Mars finally changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Saturday morning; on Sunday, its time to take actions on your New Moon intentions.
Please note: Daylight Savings Time begins in the U.K. and Europe on Sunday very early morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 3 minutes), Thursday early afternoon (1.5 hours), and Saturday early afternoon (almost 8.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I just want to say:
Mercury in Taurus starts its Station phase on April 12th
Pluto in Aquarius starts its Station phase on April 18th
The first North Node Solar Eclipse in Aries since 2004 becomes exact on April 20th
I could go on… so hold on to your seats and stay tuned in for all the upcoming planetary movements and shifts! Feel free to to click on the various links above to get more info on the individual transits.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 20th:
Monday,the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Piscesall 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 untilApril 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.

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”.
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.

March 7th, at 8:35am EST, Saturn changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking and objective Aquarius to creative, intuitive, and sensitive Pisces. It will journey there until May 25, 2025, then make a second pass through Pisces from Sept. 1st, 2025, until Feb. 14th, 2026.
Saturn feels a bit like a fish out of water in Pisces, but it invites us to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, one-consciousness, etc. This transit could also teach us that healthy boundaries and integrity can help us manifest our dreams.
During those periods, we are invited to look for practical applications for our dreams and spiritual or creative aspirations. We may well be firming up our intuitive connection to life — this transit is a time to focus on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to our idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams. Saturn in Pisces also reminds us that…

If you want to know how Saturn’s journey through Pisces will impact you personally over the next two to three years, feel free to get access to my webinar on this subjecthere. We took a look at how this transit impacts our own birth charts.
All this is especially true if you are a Capricorn or Pisces Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your dreams — and your spiritual sovereignty. As a Pisces, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious, and mature, in the next 2-3 years.

This week’s headline items: 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).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 6th:
Monday,the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgoall 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)

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:
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° ofGemini 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)

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.
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.
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)
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).

This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon becomes exact Monday late morning; Mercury squares the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio on Wednesday night; the Balsamic Moon phase begins in Capricorn late on Thursday evening; last but not least, the Sun changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 1.5 hours), Wednesday evening (4 hours), Friday late evening (a little over an hour), and Sunday evening (3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
This is a collaboration between the lovely Honey Harken and myself. We are uniting our forces of love in this 2-hour webinar to help you reconnect with your inner Venus-energy!
WHEN: Feb. 16th at 7:30pm EST/6:30pm CST/4:30pm PST
💫 “I’ve worked with Honey in and through some of the most vulnerable places in my heart and soul and I have never felt so held in love than I have with her. Her insight and ability to weave magic into the mundane is unrivaled” 💫 — Amber K.
💫 “I truly know the world is a better place with Sonja here, talking to us individually and in groups, broadcasting and connecting everyone with what’s important and with compassion.” 💫 — A. F.
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpiountil 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.

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…

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 liveor get your mp4-video recording within 24 hours of the live event!
(Star Members are automatically registered and received an email yesterday, Sunday – Feb. 5th – in the afternoon, and today, Feb. 6th, an hour before the live event begins, with the link to join live). Not receiving your emails? Please check your junk mail or any other email folders — and if you still can’t find those emails about the Forecasting Forum, please email us immediately so we can fix that for you.
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.

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
“Thank you Sonja 🙏 and everyone ~ kind blessings ✨” — Nuku
“Thanks, I will listen to the Full Moon video again, and practice what I learned today and integrate where things fall House-wise.” — April M.
Sonja’s passion is for connecting with people and helping them transform their lives. This led her to train as a life coach, in addition to her lifelong study of Astrology. With her Readings, her coaching and her Soul-Based Astrology Courses she aims to empower and support people in fulfilling their life’s potential and aligning with Soul Purpose.
On Feb. 5th at 1:29pm EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in 16.5 degrees of Leo — and this is when this month’s Full Moon becomes exact. We start to feel this Full Moon build from the moment the Moon enters Leo on Saturday early morning (Feb. 4th). Relationships of all kinds are highlighted.
All Full Moons offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light; they also guide us away from polarization and division toward balance and integration. Ask yourself: How far have I come since setting Intentions back on Jan. 21st or 22nd, after the New Moon became exact? What am I aware of at this time?
This current Full Moon makes a Square to Uranusin Taurus, creating a T-Square with Uranus as the Focal Point; and it also squares the Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 8th, 2022 in Taurus-Scorpio.
In this Full Moon chart, we also have an opportune planetary connection to Marsin Gemini (the planet of assertion and action), which encourages us to express and share our heart and passions.
As well as a harmonious connection to Chiron, the Wounded Healer. I will go into all those in detail in a moment… let’s first talk about the Leo-Aquarius polarity:
Aquarius, along with its co-rulers Saturn and Uranus, deals with the idea of being a responsible and unique human, both on an individual level and as a member of the “human family”.
Aquarius represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian vision is one of interconnected equality and belonging — paradoxically, we are reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity. Contradictions are not unfamiliar to the Aquarian mind.
Leo, on the other hand, is all about our self-expression, creativity, and ability to connect to a courageous, innocent heart and inner joy.
This Full Moon is our chance to make a more conscious effort to embrace, integrate, and explore Leo’s lighter/higher vibrations (as mentioned above). Leo is an optimistic and extroverted sign that represents our capacity to love — and our willpower. It signifies the quest to live from our center, our authentic core, our truth — with joy in our hearts.
This Full Moon reminds us that everyone is unique in their own way and needs to honor themselves as that first before we can make a difference in the world, small or large — and when we join together from that authentic place, we can empower each other, and our strengths grow exponentially.
Ask yourself: How could I best honor both my individual self-expression and my interconnectedness with the world? What does true belonging look like to me? Do I already belong to myself? Am I capable of standing in my true self-expression when connecting with others?
How am I adding my authentic voice (in small ways and large)? What is asking for a deeper connection within me? Do I have the courage to stand alone if needs be? Do I have the courage to be me, even when it feels uncomfortable?
“True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.“ — Brené Brown
As with all Full Moons, there’s a shadow side to be discussed — the shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace.
Aquarius’s Shadow side might show up as…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 14-19 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

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.

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).

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
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, sensitivePisces, 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?

"Thank you for the awesome webinar, Sonja. I really enjoyed the full interactive experience. Having this real time exchange makes a huge difference to the learning and understanding of all these patterns and energies. I love the question and answer section, especially since we get some advance indication of what the topics will be. I have been an amateur astrologer for many years but I learned an awful lot very quickly in this setting. So much fun. See you next time!"
