Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Nov. 11th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday very early morning, if possible, connect with people that can support your projects on a practical level, and share with them what you have going on.
Monday late morning, a Sun/Mercury alignment in almost 19 degrees of Scorpio becomes exact at 10:22am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday morning (Nov. 10th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. Mercury aligns with the Sun quite frequently, but we may not always be able to see this transit from the US; the last time this transit of Mercury across the Sun was visible from the US was in 2016, and the next time will be in 2039.
Generally speaking, when the Sun and Mercury come together, we are especially sharp, communicative, and open. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life.
Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next. Words matter now, so choose them wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?
Our opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not “heard” — if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that’s ok.
The Sun/Mercury alignment in Scorpio brings a heightened focus towards thinking about the unknown, facing our worst fears, or dealing with loss in some way — in particular, letting go of the “old” to let in the “new”.
If we remain attached to the “old” (through fear of letting go of it to meet the “new”), we are likely to experience this as a dark, difficult transition in our lives — but if not, it could help us build inner strength and show us what cannot be taken away — we will see at last that nothing outside of us can take away the power and resilience that lives inside of us.
Our thinking may become obsessive — but becoming controlling (or even paranoid) may not serve us — choose your battles wisely and seek to provide empowerment wherever possible.
Since Mercury is also still Retrograde, ask yourself: What has come up for me since Mercury entered its Shadow phase on Oct. 11th? What, if anything, have I already revisited or even re-processed since Mercury went retrograde back on Oct. 31st?
What am I still obsessing about? Scared about? When or where do I still focus on “worst case scenarios” that are connected to past traumas or disempowerments? What if I surrendered my fears 5% more completely than I have in the past? What if I gave myself 5% more freedom to sense my inner strength, my fierce, open heart, and the passionate love for life that is pumping through my veins, right now, in this moment? What place of power would I stand in then?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)
Monday evening, we are invited to make some internal adjustments: We may want to …

On Nov. 12th at 8:34am EST,the Full Moon in almost 20 degrees of Taurus becomes exact. If you are a Member of my online community, feel free to watch my video on the subject.
All Full Moons offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light — and they guide us away from polarization and division, toward balance and integration. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices — and this particular Full Moon provides a double dose of that.
The Sun is in Scorpio and the Moon is in Taurus; not only that, we are also dealing here with a Sun/Mercury alignment in Scorpio — and with Mercury being retrograde, its energy feels stronger inside of us. Because of the Retrograde component, this is an inner journey, an intuitive process. You may recall that I talked a little about this in the last New Moon video and in my “Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio” webinar (which is still available for purchase until Nov. 13th!)
We can ask ourselves here: What regrets, resentments, and misunderstandings need to be reconciled? Mercury Retrograde helps us recognize the part we played, the lessons we learned, and the necessity of forgiving everyone involved (even including ourselves).
Because of its retrograde status, Mercury will spend a little over two months in Scorpio, the sign most concerned with emotionally authentic relationships. This provides extra opportunities for integrating our “shadow” and healing any relationships issues connected to intimacy, honesty, or trust — and the latter may include core issues around shared resources and power struggles. (Oct. 3rd until Dec. 9th, 2019)
Neptune in Pisces is stationing at the time of the Full Moon, and therefore exalted, bringing a heightened sensitivity towards our surroundings (including fellow humans and other beings); a gentler, more intuitive approach works very well here.
We also get a chance to see how far we have come since the New Moon phase began on Oct. 27th – 28th, so ask yourself:
How far have I come in regards to investigating or understanding my deepest desires? How am I doing with owning the previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What might the next step be down that path? What decisions could I make over the next two weeks that might support me on this journey?
Now let’s look at the Scorpio/Taurus polarity in more detail:
This Full Moon has both a Taurus and a Scorpio spotlight — one spotlights our relationship to our…

This week’s headline items: On Monday, first Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact, and the Mercury Station ends; Neptune, on the other hand, starts its Station phase on Thursday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 8.5 hours), Thursday evening (for a little over 10.5 hours), and Sunday morning (for a little over 9 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day; it will journey there until Tuesday early evening. 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 group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday:Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station — but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to). If any thinking and/or communication issues have come up around our intimate relationships, or financial partnerships since Oct. 11th, we’ll now have a chance to do some internal work on those issues. We are also invited to investigate anything that needs to be more fully integrated in our personality (i.e. “Shadow” issues).

Monday early morning, at 5:23am EST, the first Quarter Moon in a little over 11.5 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last week, Sunday morning (Nov 3rd). The Moon in freedom-loving, progressive, detached, objective Aquarius makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in passionate, all-or-nothing, intimacy-craving Scorpio.
We feel compelled to take action. On Oct. 27th, the New Moon in Scorpio became exact: “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 interactions with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-14 degrees of Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, or Leo? 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).

A More Fierce Approach to Life — Forecast for Oct. 28th – Nov. 3rd
This week’s headline items: Mercury’s station intensifies on Monday and it comes to a halt late on Thursday morning as it begins its 3.5 week retrograde. Start taking action on your New Moon intentions on Friday. Venus changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Friday afternoon. I should also mention that Daylight Savings Time ends here in the US, very early Sunday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early afternoon (for almost 4.5 hours), Thursday late morning (for a little over 12 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 4.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me share this with you: If you haven’t set your New Moon Intentions yet, Monday all day and Tuesday until 1:34pm EDT is still time to do so during the most potent time… If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — you could also (re-)watch my New Moon video.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 28th:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late afternoon. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉
Monday early morning, a Sun/Uranus opposition becomes exact at 4:15am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Thursday (Oct. 24th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Oct. 30th). What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged: we are asked to create a balance between our urge for personal freedom (including financial freedom), versus our awareness of the importance of intimate, empowering connections and collaborations with others.
This aspect is an invitation to stay open and flexible in regards to our interactions with people. We may need to find a balance between what we value/what’s important to us on a physical level, or with our intimate partnerships, or what’s important to us on an emotional level. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.
If you experience fear or uncertainty, focus on what it is that you could really get excited about and get behind in a realistic, grounded way — something that could make a difference, something meaningful. Also, take it one moment at a time, there is no need to rush anything 😉 Could you allow yourself to be uncomfortable, just for right now?
We may find that we disagree with other people’s values. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (or react) towards others — or around our desire for financial freedom and independence. We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following placements: 1-8 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius, ? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. 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).
Monday late evening/night, a somewhat challenging Mars/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 11:57pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from the early this morning (Oct. 28th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday morning. Our idealism and high expectations could lead us into frustrating circumstances that leave us emotionally and physically drained. Our vitality and emotional resilience increase as we learn how (and where) to get involved in projects we feel passionate about.
That said, we may also have difficulty establishing realistic limits with others and around our own self-expectations; this, combined with a tendency to laziness (especially where exercising good judgment is concerned) could leave us feeling “rudderless” or even overwhelmed. As best as you can therefore, allow for downtime, rest and spiritual connection.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-17 degrees of Libra or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Pisces (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)
Also, on Monday, Mercury’s Station intensifies, as Mercury is preparing to come to a halt on Thursday late morning (beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase). As I mentioned last week Thursday already, during the station phase, we feel Mercury’s energies more strongly. It will remain at its most intensifies until Nov. 2nd.
Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, 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 worst-case scenarios? Am I obsessing over something that feels disempowering? What are my motivations? Am I coming from fear? Self-protection? Or from love?
What would it be like to live life fully and completely, feeling empowered in my choices? What will get me 1% closer to that right here and now?
Speaking of the “here and now”, if empowerment only existed in the “now” moment, could I surrender my fears or concerns connected to the past or the future, and simply be present in the here and now? What if I trusted my Higher Self enough to release any suspicious, fearful, or protective thoughts that may arise?
For the next 5 days, 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 with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Dec.7th, when Mercury’s second shadow phase is over.

On Oct. 27th at 11:39pm EDT,the Moon aligns with the Sun in 4.5 degrees of Scorpio, beginning a new Moon cycle. This New Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio brings our focus to our intimate relationships and deepest emotional desires; if you’d like to learn more about this Lunation, check out my video on the subject 🙂 (will be posted by Oct. 21st in the evening)
Scorpio is the second water sign of the zodiac, so it relates not only to the depths of our own psyche, but also to the ecstasies and traumas of relationships.
Mercury in Scorpio is exalted at the time of this New Moon (due to its station), so we are more aware of our thinking patterns, particularly our tendency to think in extremes or absolutes.
Mercury will come to a halt on Oct. 31st and start its 3-week Retrograde phase. While it is exalted (between Oct. 24th and Nov. 4th), check in with yourself and ask: Is my mind drawn to worst-case scenarios? Am I obsessing over something that feels disempowering? What are my motivations? Am I coming from fear? Self-protection? Or from love? What would it be like to live life fully and completely, feeling empowered in my choices? What will get me 1% closer to that right here and now?
Speaking of the “here and now”, if empowerment only existed in the “now” moment, could I surrender my fears or concerns connected to the past or the future, and simply be present in the here and now? What if I trusted my Higher Self enough to release any suspicious, fearful, or protective thoughts that may arise?
Check to see: Am I ok right now? If I am, is it at least possible that I will be ok in the next moment? And the next?
Star and SuperStar Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording — and enjoy watching it!
Scorpio also deals with our Shadow issues. The “Shadow” is all the suppressed, denied, or undeveloped qualities of our personality — and wherever we have yet to fully integrate these disowned aspects, we feel disempowered, and are left vulnerable to manipulation or domination.
Furthermore, what we reject in ourselves, we often project onto others — we may experience the shadow as explosions with others or implosions within ourselves. That which we disown, owns us; whatever we resist, persists. So, what Shadow issues need to be addressed over the next four weeks?
Here are some questions to help you reclaim your projections…

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions are 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 any time between 11:39pm (Oct. 27th) and 1:34pm (Oct. 29th); then again from 5:58pm until 11:39pm (on Oct. 29th) — New York Time/US Eastern Time

A Collaborative Approach — Forecast for Oct. 21st – 27th
This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Monday morning, the Pluto Station ends on Tuesday evening, the Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio early Wednesday afternoon; Mercury starts to slow down (station) on Thursday morning, preparing for its 3-week Retrograde phase, the Balsamic Moon phase begins late on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Sunday late evening.
There will also be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (for almost 4 hours), Wednesday early morning (a little over 10 hours), Friday late morning (almost 7.5 hours) and Sunday early morning (just over 12 hours).
I should also note that Daylight Savings Time ends in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning,

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains protective, nurturing in Cancer until 12:29pm EDT. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next several hours 😉
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 morning, at 8:39am EDT, the last Quarter Moon in almost 28 degrees of Cancer becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Cancer, last week Saturday (Oct. 19th). The Moon inprotective, nurturing Cancermakes a challenging aspect to the Sunharmony-oriented, idealistic Libra. This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change.
This Moon phase brings us closer to Oct. 27th, which will bring the New Moon in Scorpio. During the last Quarter Moon, we are best served not by beginning new projects, but by reviewing existing ones — particularly those we started around or after the time of the New Moon in Libra (Sept. 28th).
What is asking to be completed? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up, whether it’s internal or with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, Aries or 0 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Taurus? If so, you will feel this month’s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. 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.
As the last Quarter Moon becomes exact, on Monday at 8:39am EDT, we also enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 4 hours until 12:29pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
Make space for the emotionally familiar, giving and receiving support, and pampering your inner baby — but also for intellectually harmonious one-on-one engagement and creating a balanced environment with 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 morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 12:29pm EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. We have a chance to appreciate ourselves and our lives — and to connect to the heart. Hand out as many compliments as possible, they will be deeply appreciated 🙂 Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you squeak just thinking about it?
Monday afternoon, a harmonious Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 3:40pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (Oct. 19th) on; it will be strong until this week Wednesday (Oct. 23rd). This supports us with the flow of feelings, especially in connection to our relationships and whatever we most value. Bringing compassion to our deepest feelings (including fears) and how we relate to others is going to feel easier at this time.
Our intuition and instincts are strongly supported here too. It becomes easier to trust others and open up to them; we give ourselves permission to receive love and emotional support. As best as you can, let all feelings flow.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 14th:
Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoCuntil 12:24pm EDT.
Monday very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 2:56am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday (Oct. 12th) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday (Oct. 15th ). This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.
How can we get the most from this opportunity? By allowing ourselves to go deeper as we investigate our fear-based thinking or self-defeating behaviors. As best as you can, commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.
If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more deeply, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. 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 12-17 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces or Virgo? 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 Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).
Also, Monday very early morning, a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 3:38am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Thursday (Oct. 10th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday (Oct. 17th). What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.
Coming into focus now: the relationship with a father-figure (or other important males). We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.
We may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us — the “something” could include attitudes.
This fear may also lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with exactly what’s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.
We may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.
If you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-24 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries 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 Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio).
Monday at 12:24pm EDT,the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words …

On Oct. 13th, at 5:08pm EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 20 degrees of Aries — the Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries makes an opposition to the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra.
Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body”, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. This is especially true for this particular Full Moon — for much of this month, we are invited to direct our attention toward deeper self-care and more authentic connections to our emotional bodies. If you are a site Member, you may also want to watch my video on the subject
The Aries/Libra polarity directs our awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles. In particular, it brings the focus to “independence”, so ask yourself: Where do I need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have I been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?
This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Ask: Where have these energies gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?
On the day of the Full Moon, the Sun in Libra sextiles Jupiter in Sagittarius, and the Moon in Aries trines Jupiter. 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. Focusing on…

All of this is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 18-22 degrees of Aries, Libra, Capricorn or Cancer (the personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC).

This week’s headline items: Pluto is still exalted all week (stationing), Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio early in the afternoon Tuesday, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Friday evening, and the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the afternoon.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for a little over 21.5 hours), Friday early morning (almost 19 hours), and Sunday early evening (almost 18.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me share this with you: My next MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM — which is a 90-minute webinar — is coming closer… we will look directly at our own birth charts to see how the upcoming Mercury Retrograde phase in Scorpio (as well as the Shadow phases) will impact each of us.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, October 7th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day; it will journey there until Wednesday early afternoon. 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 group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday very early morning, a Mercury/Uranus opposition becomes exact at 2:17am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday night (Oct. 4th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We are better off thinking outside the box for those four days. We want to change a life situation (or intimate relationship) that is out of alignment with who we now want to be.
Our minds may feel overwhelmed by what all this means, especially as it relates to our intimate relationships or financial partnerships. Stay calm, as best as you can: Sudden or rash decisions might backfire. Do your best to ground all your thinking, connect to your body, and allow yourself to fully receive any new insights.
We are very likely to feel quite nervous or anxious at this time, as we become aware of what’s not working for us anymore — and the itch to move forward and realize a new vision feels very strong. It may well be true that something needs to change — but we must take care not to rush into anything.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 2-9 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, or Leo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).
Monday late morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.
As such, we may have to address what we value in both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.
Also, Monday late morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to go deeper, and communicate from a place of passion and empowerment.
We may thus have to address our fears and “issues”; as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.
Monday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 3:07pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday (Oct. 4th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. We’re asked to stretch and grow beyond what we have previously known ourselves to be; our commitments and responsibilities towards others are calling us to get out of our comfort zone.
Find creative ways to honor both your various one-on-one relationships, and your desire to focus on your long-term goals; allow for a balanced approach even if life puts up roadblocks or throws some curveballs.
What if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you rather have old structures in place, or a more collaborative approach to achieving things? Would you rather achieve status or harmonious relationships? What if you just decided to bring maturity and self-responsibility to the table when dealing with others, no matter what?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in….

Emotional Authenticity — Forecast for Sept. 30th – Oct. 6th
This week’s headline items: beginning Wednesday evening, it’s time to start taking action on your New Moon intentions. Early Thursday morning, Pluto comes to a halt in Capricorn, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase, while Mercury changes signs from Libra to Scorpio. The Sun squares the degree of the July 2nd Solar Eclipse on Thursday late night. Mars changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Thursday night/Friday very early morning, and the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Saturday early afternoon.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Wednesday morning (for 2 hours), Friday very early morning (for a little over 10 hours) and Sunday evening (for a little over 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me share this with you: We have the Moon in Scorpio from Monday until Wednesday morning, Pluto is coming to a complete halt on Thursday, and Mercury is moving into Scorpio on that same day; also, the Pluto Station (we have been experiencing since Sept. 13th) will get even stronger this week. What have you learned about what works (and what doesn’t) in regards to your current structures and commitments? What needs a complete overhaul?

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, September 30th:
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra and VoCuntil 5:42am EDT; at that time,the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. 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 thus 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 do your very best to 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.
Last chance to set your New Moon Intentions! Today (Monday) from 5:42am until 2:26pm EDT is the most potent time to do so… If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — you could also (re-)watch my New Moon video
Monday late morning, we are invited to make some inner adjustments: we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice — a choice that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and connect with others; on the other hand, we are more aware of triggers and limitations connected to old childhood wounds.
As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger). Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others today?
Monday afternoon: we are invited to examine our relationship to money, power, and resources (personal and shared). Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others, against…
