November 1st – 7th

by Sonja Francis | Oct 31, 2021 | Astrological Forecasts

Stay Open & Flexible

This week’s headline items: the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday morning; Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase on Tuesday evening; the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact Thursday late afternoon (and Eclipse season also begins on Thursday). Venus changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn Friday morning, and Mercury changes signs from Libra to Scorpio Friday evening. Daylight Savings Time ends here in the US, very early Sunday morning.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for a little over 6 hours); Wednesday evening (for almost 2.5 hours); Friday early afternoon (for almost 9 hours); and Sunday morning (for a little over 11 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, November 1st:

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo until 7:11pm EDT. Until then, our focus turns 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 very early morning, a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 12:18am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Friday evening (Oct. 29th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday evening. Due to Mercury’s Retrograde motion in October, this is the third time in a 6-week period that this aspect has become exact. The first time was on Sept. 20th, and the second time was on Oct. 3rd.

Think back to those dates and ask yourself: What did I notice in my communications with others? Did I feel an increase in my interactions with others or my communities (both in-person or online)?

We already talked about this aspect in last week’s blog. If you are currently a Member, click here and scroll down to Sunday (Oct. 31st) to read the whole post about the harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect, or look for your Daily Forecast email for Sunday, Oct. 31st.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-26 degrees of Libra, Aquarius, or Gemini,? If so, you will feel most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius). 

Monday morning, around 9am EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins as the Moon reaches 24 degrees of Virgo. This lasts until Thursday late afternoon, when the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact (more on that on Thursday… however, feel free to watch my video on the subject here).

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?

Monday late morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:20am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday (Oct. 31st) late morning on, and it will remain strong until Tuesday late morning. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.

We may feel an internal dilemma around our ability to get things done — a drop in our self-confidence and self-esteem. This could lead to us “hiding out”… which leaves us feeling strangely guilty… which leads to us behaving in weird ways… and we end up thinking “did I really just do that?”

As best as you can, be kind and compassionate with yourself — forgive yourself for having a human moment — this will support your healing process.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-11 degrees of Scorpio or Aries? 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 (the Sun rules of Leo).

Monday early afternoon, at 1pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 6 hours, until 7:11pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to be precise and practical in your thinking and work. You may also want to be active and have an adventure with others.

The tension between these two urges invites us to stretch a little and reach a resolution through creative solutions — the key here is to be of service and allow for experimentation, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy. You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself.

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

Monday at 7:11pm EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.

We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for…

Let Your Intuition Guide You

This week’s headline items: there are no longer any stationing (exalted) planets in the sky; the last Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Mars changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Saturday late morning.

I should also note that Daylight Savings Time ends in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning, but continues in the US.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for almost 7 hours); Thursday very early morning (3 hours); and Saturday very early morning (almost 11 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week… and still would like to learn how to align yourself with the upcoming planetary shifts, and prepare for Eclipse season, as well as, a powerful T-Square in Scorpio, Taurus &  Aquarius… feel free to get the mp4-video presentation “Powerful T-Square: Saturn squares Mars & Uranus, Nov. 2021” — and see how this relates to your own Birth Chart…

How can you best prepare for the upcoming Eclipse season? How about this powerful T-Square involving Mars, Saturn & Uranus in the fixed signs? How will these planetary shifts impact people with a Sun-sign or Rising-sign in Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius or Leo?

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Oct. 22nd late evening 😉

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, October 25th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 5pm EDT. Until then, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂

Monday late morning, at 10:11am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 7 hours, until 5pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them.

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 pre-plan Monday late morning until the early evening.

Monday at 5pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Thursday 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…

When is enough, enough?

This week’s headline items: very early Monday, Jupiter comes to a halt, ending its 4-month Retrograde phase — and Mercury follows suit later that morning. Saturn ends its Station phase on Tuesday and Pluto does likewise on Thursday. The Full Moon in Aries becomes exact Wednesday morning. On Saturday, the Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio, and Mercury ends its Station phase; Jupiter also ends its Station phase, on Sunday.

There will only be two Moon VoC phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for 5 hours); and Friday late afternoon (for 11.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to make an announcement:

Last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this work-week…please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

Or click here for more info and to register, for this month only.
(non-Members also get access to this month’s Full Moon video when they register).

To ask a question in advance; please email me by Oct. 21st at midnight EDT,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, October 18th:

Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and VoC until 6:04am EDT.

Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EDT, Jupiter comes to a halt at 22º of Aquarius, and slowly starts to move direct again, after a 4-month Retrograde phase; Jupiter’s energy will be felt most strongly at this time.

We already talked about this, in great detail, in last week’s blog. If you are currently a Member, click here and scroll down to Sunday (Oct. 17th) to read the whole post about Jupiter coming to a halt, or look for your Daily Forecast email for Sunday, Oct. 17th.

Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendant) in 20-24 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio will be more affected by this Jupiter station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).

Monday at 6:04am EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

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


This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon, exact on Wednesday late morning.

Monday late morning, at 11:17am EDT, Mercury comes to a halt in 10 degrees of Libra and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week Retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its post-Shadow phase…more on that in a moment…

We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective.

Ask yourself: What did I learn about my inner dialog, and the relationship between my inner feminine & masculine energies, over the past 3 weeks? How might I share my findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed with regards to one-on-one relationships, fairness, a balanced approach, or collaborations?

When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Oct. 23rd), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.

Feel free to also watch my chat with Lia about the Mercury Retrograde phase in Libra. We connected last week and chatted about how this has been impacting us, and about the value of a Retrograde phase…

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 8-12 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn.

Monday after 11:17am EDT, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase begins — lasting until Nov. 2nd…. as you may recall, I mentioned Mercury Shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde, and after it goes direct.

This is especially true if the items are connected to technology, transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.), or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) Click here to read my blog on the subject.

Monday late evening, a harmonious Mars/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 10:36pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Thursday evening (Oct. 14th) on; and it will remain strong until next week, Saturday evening (Oct. 23rd). This aspect brings optimism, enthusiasm, and expansion to our personal goals, creative projects, and explorations.

It’s a good time for bold, decisive action, that leads very directly to success in our various projects — especially those with one-on-one collaborations, equal relationships, win-win situations, or that require a just or fair outcome.

Our positive attitude helps us to take risks that get us unstuck, and we have the vigor to blast through challenges; use this aspect to tackle anything that seemed impossible in the past 😉

Ask yourself: Where am I pining for a greater connection with others? What might be possible if I kept inspiring others? Or kept being the change I want to see in the world?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-26 degrees of Libra, Aquarius, or Gemini? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Sagittarius? If so, you will be …

Do the Due Diligence

This week’s headline items: Pluto and Saturn remain exalted all week due to their stationing; the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact very late on Tuesday evening; on Thursday, Jupiter’s Station in Aquarius intensifies and Mercury begins its Station phase in Libra. Mercury’s Station intensifies on Saturday night/Sunday very early morning. Jupiter comes to a halt, ending it’s 4-month Retrograde phase, on Sunday night.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 13 hours); Wednesday morning (for almost 10 hours); Friday morning (for almost 14 hours), and Sunday evening (for 10.5 hours)

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

A Conversation about the Mercury Retrograde phase with the lovely Lia Pelusi (a certified Soul-Based Astrologer). We connected last week, chatted about Astrology in general, and got into details on the current Mercury Retrograde in Libra — how it has been impacting us, and where the value lies in a Retrograde phase.

==> Feel free to join us for this lovely conversation and introduction of Lia!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, October 11th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 1:15pm EDT. Until then, 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, this means 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.

Since Pluto and Saturn are still exalted all week, feel free to read more about those Station phases in this blog from Sept. 27th – Oct. 4th, and last week’s blog.

Or, check out my webinar where we discussed the Pluto & Saturn Station Direct phases in Capricorn and Aquarius, and how all of this looks in relation to our own Birth charts.

Monday very early morning, at 12:30am EDT, we enter a  Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 13 hours, until 1:15pm EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets you excited about the future.

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

Monday at 1:15pm EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

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

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

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is transiting through Aquarius making this a great time to take a look at our visions for humanity, and at anything we would like to accomplish long-term within our communities (locally or online).

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people; as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago?

Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now, and with where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to? This Moon placement starts the build up towards…

Creating Win-Win Outcomes

This week’s headline items: On Monday, Saturn starts to slow down (station), preparing to end its Retrograde phase — and Jupiter follows suit on Friday. The New Moon in Libra becomes exact on Wednesday morning, and Pluto comes to a halt that afternoon, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase. On Thursday morning, Venus changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius, and Saturn’s Station phase intensifies. The last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Sunday afternoon, and that evening, Saturn comes to a halt, ending its 4.5-month Retrograde phase.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for 4 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for almost 9.5 hours); and Saturday very early morning (for almost 9.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

Since Pluto and Saturn are ending their respective Retrograde phases this week, I wanted to mention that we discussed the Pluto & Saturn Station Direct phases in Capricorn and Aquarius, in our most recent webinar, and how all of this looks in relation to our own Birth charts.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, October 4th:

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. Until then, our focus is towards 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 early morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail. We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable. (Moon in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 5:19am EDT)

Monday late afternoon/early evening, we seek a balance between head and heart, facts and imagination, reason and intuition/compassion. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service. (Moon in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces, exact at 5:48pm EDT)

Monday evening, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the urge to expand our perspective when it comes to our future visions — and on the other hand, to be precise and practical in our thinking and at work. The key here is to be of service and allow for experimentation so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy. (Moon in Virgo quincunxes Jupiter in Aquarius, exact at 8:10pm EDT) 

Monday late evening, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in Virgo makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals. (Moon in Virgo trines Pluto in Capricorn, exact at 11:03pm EDT)

Also, on Monday, Saturn starts its station. “Stationing” is when a planet moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more “exalted”; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.

Saturn has to do with doing what needs to be done — so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to “do” life, on life’s terms.

As spirit beings in a physical world, it’s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to “play by the rules”, the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the “domain” of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.

Saturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal “earth class” be in, right now? Where are you asked to look at your current “earth structures” and become more mature? Which long-term goal calls out for commitment? What will time do?

As best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The Station-phase will last until Oct. 19th; and Saturn goes direct — after having been retrograde for 4.5-month — on Oct. 10th in almost 7 degrees of Aquarius.

We are getting ready to move forward on some important long-term goals, but we’ll need to be patient until Saturn goes direct on Oct. 10th. Until then, as best as you can, realistically evaluate what’s needed in order to build some healthy, long-lasting foundations for the next phase in your life.

The Ability to Create Balance

This week’s headline items: Very early on Monday, Mercury begins its 3-week Retrograde phase; the last Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Pluto’s station intensifies from Wednesday on. Finally, on Saturday, Mercury ends its Station phase (although it remains retrograde), and the Balsamic Moon phase begins that evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 9 hours); Thursday late morning (for 10 hours); and Saturday evening (for almost 9 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

I was invited to be on the Self Love Show with Dawn Light and Trish Wright. I had a fantastic time. Check it out: How Astrology can help us love ourselves more, and how we can deepen that love. 

“The birth chart is a marvelous thing. It shows us our life’s potential and how we operate in all areas of our lives. Understanding those energies can bring a greater sense of acceptance and love to ourselves. Self-love is a journey, and understanding our own birth chart is just the first step on that journey.”

To start on the path of understanding your own birth chart more fully, feel free to watch my Intro to Soul-Based Astrology (currently available for FREE)

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 27th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. Until then, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂

Monday very early morning at 1:10amEDT, Mercury comes to a standstill at 25.5 degrees of Libra (starting its 3-week Retrograde phase), slowing things down tremendously until Wednesday morning (Sept. 29th). Give yourself extra time to go to work (during that time) or to get things done. If you are traveling, just simply go with the flow… you’ll get there… eventually 😉 The same is true when it comes to all our technological communication devices…

With Mercury being Retrograde, its energy feels stronger inside of us, helping us recognize what is out of alignment, and pointing to how we can start to realign ourselves with the outside world, starting from within. We can ask ourselves: What feels unjust or imbalanced in my life?

Because of its retrograde status, Mercury will spend 66 days in Libra, the sign most concerned with one-on-one relationships, partnerships, balance, harmony, justice, collaboration, and art. This provides extra opportunities to connect from a place of harmony, peace, diplomacy, with a view to creating win/win outcomes.

We already talked about this, in great detail, in last week’s blog. If you are currently a Member, click here and scroll down to Sunday (Sept. 26th) to read the whole post about this Mercury Retrograde phase, or look for your Daily Forecast email for Sunday, Sept. 26th.

Another thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury Retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life — which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?

As with any retrograde, some of us will be more affected than others, depending on how it interacts with our personal chart. If you have your Ascendant, Career Point or any personal planets in: 8-28 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn you will be more affected by this particular retrograde. This is also true for those of us who have a Gemini, or Virgo Sun- or Rising-sign (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo).

Monday late morning/early afternoon, we are asked to turn our attention towards the mismatch between our need for mental stimulation, and our desire to connect on a deep emotional level. Ask yourself: Am I after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion?

Am I seeking out new information and keeping an open mind? Am I wanting to keep my mind busy with mental distractions — such as listening to the news or reading about other peoples’ opinions? Do I feel nudged toward emotionally deep transformative connections? What are my motivations when connecting and relating to others?

No matter what I engage in, could I drop any self-judgment? Could I even allow myself to dance with those mismatched energies? (Moon in Gemini quincunxes Venus in Scorpio, exact at 11:28am EDT)

Monday late afternoon, we are required to make some adjustments — and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.(Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces, exact at 4:11pm EDT)

Monday evening, we get a chance to connect with like-minded people, expand each other’s minds, and share information that allows us to see the bigger picture.(Moon in Gemini trines Jupiter in Aquarius, exact at 7:25pm EDT)

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:18am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 9 hours, until 9:34am EDT (Tuesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to connect with others one-on-one, and share information in a peaceful and fair fashion.

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…

Shake Things Up a Little

This week’s headline items: Pluto is still stationing all week; the Full Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Monday evening; Mercury’s station intensifies on Tuesday; on Wednesday afternoon, the Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra, marking the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Last but not least, late on Sunday night, Mercury comes to a halt as it begins its 3-week Retrograde phase.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday evening (for almost 3.5 hours); Wednesday late evening (a little over 10.5 hours); and Saturday morning (almost 11.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week… and still would like to learn how to align yourself with the upcoming planetary shifts, and prepare for Pluto’s & Saturn’s Station Direct phases in Capricorn & Aquarius… feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation “Pluto & Saturn Station Direct in Sept.- Oct. 2021″ — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…

==> To purchase this webinar, click here

“Sonja, any words I can find to express my gratitude for the insight you’ve given to me during the webinar would be an understatement; in equation form it would look like (My gratitude=Thank you^n)–Thank you to the n-th degree!” — Michaele D.

How can you best prepare for the upcoming Pluto Station Direct phase in Capricorn? How about the Saturn Direct phase in Aquarius? How will these planetary shifts impact people with a Sun-sign or Rising-sign in Scorpio, Capricorn, or Aquarius?

• Where does 4-9º of Aquarius fall in your own birth chart?
• Where does 22-26º of Capricorn fall in your own birth chart?
• What Houses are impacted by the Pluto & Saturn Station Direct phases? What about the Fall Equinox?

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Sept. 17th late evening 😉

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 20th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 11:13pm EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

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

Monday early afternoon, a somewhat challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 12:12pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early afternoon (Sept. 19th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday early afternoon (Sept. 21st). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We may feel uneasy or insecure in our relationships — and be faced with a choice — we must develop an inner awareness if we are to see what needs adjusting.

As you can imagine, this could make social interactions somewhat awkward; as best as you can, connect with kindness towards all (including yourself 🙂

We may also have a hard time making financial decisions that feel satisfactory. As best as you can, bring a good dose of compassion and understanding to yourself and embrace your own humanity as much as possible… and remember: like everything else, this is only temporary 😉

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-12 degrees of Scorpio or Aries,? Or perhaps your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.

Monday evening, a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 6:53pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Thursday evening (Sept. 16th) on; and due to Mercury’s Station-Retrograde phase, it will remain strong until Oct. 6th. During this aspect, we are more optimistic and realistic — which is good, since we see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.

This harmonious connection strengthens our ability to connect and collaborate with others. We are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, and countries.

This aspect also makes for quite a “heady” and idealistic experience — it’s all about thinking big and innovating. So, ask yourself: What are my expectations or attitudes towards the collective experience? What new vantage point might show me how to reinvent myself and my vision for “my people”?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-27 degrees of Libra, Aquarius, or Gemini,? If so, you will feel most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius). 

On Monday, at 7:55pm EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 28 degrees of Pisces. The Moon in creative, free-flowing Pisces makes an opposition to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical Virgo — the entrance of the Moon into Pisces on Saturday late afternoon (Sept. 18th) started the energetic build up towards this Full Moon — if you are already a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject: click here.

At the time of the Full Moon, we can ask ourselves: How far have we come since the Sept. 6th New Moon? What can we see now that was not apparent then?

This Full Moon has six planets in Retrograde motion: Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This indicates a strong need for inner processing and aligning ourselves with those planetary energies from within. It’s a necessary phase of re-evaluation, restructuring, and letting go.

Things appear to slow down during a retrograde passage, as internal shifts must happen before we can progress; once a planet turns direct, we feel ready to move forward in that area of life.

Three of the six planets I mentioned above will start to go direct in October (Jupiter, Saturn & Pluto), and at that point, we will get the opportunity to bring all of our inner discoveries from the previous 4-5 months to the outside world.

For a more in-depth interpretation of your own chart, in connection with Saturn’s & Pluto’s Station Direct phases, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation of this webinar here.

With this Full Moon, we are also dealing with two stationing planets — Mercury & Pluto — Mercury in Libra is preparing to start its 3-week Retrograde phase on Sept. 26/27th, and is therefore exalted at the time of the Full Moon; Pluto in Capricorn is preparing to end its 5-months Retrograde phase on Oct. 6th, and will be exalted until Oct. 21st.

We are getting ready to retrace our steps (Mercury in Libra), and are seeking empowerment when it comes to our long-term goals or social structures (Pluto in Capricorn).

Now let’s first address this Full Moon’s polarities: The Virgo/Pisces polarity has to do with our ability to connect the head with the heart, logic with intuition, matter with spirit. So the question is: how do we integrate Pisces and Virgo?

This may seem a challenging question, given Virgo’s leaning toward detailed, analytical understanding, in contrast with Pisces‘ call to open our hearts and allow for all (including things that seem paradoxical to the mind). In fact, on an energetic level there is no separation, everything is interconnected — we need both left- and right-brain (the logical and the creative).

Ask yourself: What if… To read the whole Full Moon article, and get all the Coaching questions, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 0 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you are more affected by this Full Moon. 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 at 7:55pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 3.5 hours, until 11:13pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to find a balance between logic and intuition. As best as you can, discern without judgment, serve with an open heart, and improve our daily lives, without getting hung up on timing or perfectionism, bringing love and compassion to all of life’s apparent curveballs.

Could you integrate a clear, observant mind with a compassionate and loving heart? What might you experience when your mind operates in partnership with your intuitive sensing?

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

Monday at 11:13pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday 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…
