A Great Time to Transform Your Life

This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday late afternoon; Mars changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Tuesday evening. On Sunday, Mercury slows down (aka stations), preparing for its 3-week Retrograde phase, and Pluto begins its station as well, however, Pluto is preparing to end its 5-months Retrograde phase. 

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday morning (for a brief 30 mins); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for almost 10 hours); and Saturday early morning (for a little over 11 hours).

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

If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 13th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday 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, 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.

Monday early morning, 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? (Moon in Sagittarius quincunxes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 5:13am EDT)  

Monday morning: we have an opportunity to explore our one-on-one relationships, perhaps have a conversation with someone that sparks excitement. (Moon in Sagittarius sextiles Mercury in Libra, exact at 10:31am EDT)

In the late afternoon, at 4:39pm EDT, the first Quarter Moon in 21º Sagittarius becomes exact. We started to feel this from the moment the Moon entered Sagittarius on Sunday early morning. The Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical, service-oriented Virgo.

We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon, on Sept. 6th. If we began a project or initiative around then, it is probably off the ground by now — and facing its first obstacles. This is thus a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum.

We may feel anxious or unusually busy. As best as you can, take it one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible and find creative solutions in your day-to-day interactions with others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini or Pisces? 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 early evening, we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself. (Moon in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces, exact at 5:33pm EDT)

Monday late evening, we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that…

Originality & Innovation

This week’s headline items: On Monday afternoon, Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase in Libra, and in the evening, the New Moon in Virgo becomes exact; Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Friday late afternoon; from Saturday late morning on, it’s time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions; and on Sunday early morning, the Sun squares the degree of June 10th’s Solar Eclipse.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for almost 8 hours); Thursday night/Friday very early morning (for a little over 1 hour); and Sunday very early morning (for 3 hours).

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

As most of you already know from last week’s blog, Monday, Sept. 6th around 4pm EDT, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase when it reaches 10º 08’ of Libra. This is 3 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on Sept 27th).

Use these three weeks wisely! Prepare for Mercury’s pre-Shadow phase in Libra… last chance to watch: “Mercury’s pre-Shadow phase Sept. 2021” — to see how this relates to your own Birth Chart… and it is currently on SALE!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 6th:

Monday is a big day!!! The Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening.

Monday morning, a harmonious Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 8:20am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Wednesday evening (Sept. 1st) on; and it will remain strong until this Friday evening (Sept. 10th). This aspect brings a powerful ability to pursue and accomplish our objectives. We are able to see more clearly where we are heading and where we want to commit.

Our vitality and energy levels are at a high point. We are most likely feeling ambitious and dynamic right now. Our recuperative powers are excellent and our health is robust. We might feel inspired to build up our physical strength during this astrological influence, and this is a good idea — we can develop greater endurance and vitality now, which will rejuvenate our body.

This is definitely a strong energy for steady, practical, down-to-earth work on a project. It is also quite a sexy combination. As best as you can, leverage this powerful mixture of energies to go after the things you have been wanting for a while now… and as Pluto is involved, use it all to fulfill on your Soul’s purpose.

Anything that we feel deeply passionate about and that feels in complete alignment with our deepest core, is very likely part of our Soul’s journey. What moves you? What turns you on? Not just on a physical level but also on an emotional and spiritual level? If you had all the resources that you needed, what might you choose to manifest?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn, or Taurus? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars being the ruler of Aries; Pluto rules Scorpio)

Also on Monday morning, a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 9:05am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Sept. 3rd) on; and it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Sept. 8th). This aspect brings a good dose of optimism, faith and a sense of the “bigger picture” to our relationships and finances.

We tend to relate to others in a positive (even inspiring) manner; as you can imagine, it is thus much easier to make social contacts. This could also be a lazy and self-indulgent time 🙂

Our outlook is cheerful and hopeful, the atmosphere cooperative. Integrity and loyalty are favored; it’s a great time for winning people’s trust.  We are more open and trusting with friends, partners and collaborators. We might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons.

Ask yourself: What opportunities are opening up to me at this time? What connections might bring about expansion? What if I asked “who” as well as “how”?

Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us.

There are indeed plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with collaborative projects, community projects, political endeavors, or endeavors that require justice or a just cause 😉

The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don’t have to actually do anything to “cash in”

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 22-28 degrees of  Libra, Aquarius or Gemini? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Monday evening, at 8:52pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 14.5 degrees of Virgo, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. We started to feel the effects of this New Moon the moment the Moon entered Virgo on Sunday evening (Sept. 5th). Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject.

This New Moon has an abundance of planets in Earth & Air signs: the Moon, the Sun, and Mars in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn, and Uranus in Taurus (all planets in Earth Signs) and then Mercury and Venus in Libra, Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius, and the North Node in Gemini (Air Signs).

The element of Earth deals with the physical reality of things and usually requires a practical approach. The Air element deals with the mental level; usually we have the ability to look at what’s ideal and how we might create it through connection with others. This means that our focus will be on those things for the next four weeks — on both the individual and collective levels.

I will talk more about this in connection with the planetary aspects of this New Moon chart, but first let’s look at the Virgo energy of this New Moon:

Virgo provides an opportunity to learn about being of service — and what it might mean to strengthen our focus on improving our daily routines — getting organized, for example — and taking care of health matters.

A great way to step into the higher vibrations of Virgo: recognize, as best as you can, that humility, self-improvement, and being of service bring you closer to your inner divinity and your Soul’s path.

Ask yourself: How could I, as a Spirit-being, operate more efficiently in the physical world? Might tweaking my daily routines help me function better in the physical world? Might that also support me in being of service? What benefits might I reap if I could better discern between the essential and the redundant?

This New Moon cycle will thus be a great time to begin… To read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s New Moon, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 12-17 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius? 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).

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 and most potent time to set intentions would be between 8:52pm Monday evening (Sept. 6th) and 3:24pm Tuesday afternoon (Sept. 7th); and then again from 11:20pm on Sept. 7th until 8:52pm on Wednesday, Sept. 8th (New York-time).

Monday late evening, a harmonious Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:29pm EDT.  We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Sept. 3rd) on; and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening (Sept. 9th). This aspect connects us to a strong energy field — physical and metaphysical.

We feel alive, want to create a better future for ourselves and others on a very practical level, and are excited to do it. Watch out for messages from the Universe 🙂

Originality and innovation come easy to us, as does connection with like-minded people. We can celebrate (and leverage) our idealism and unorthodox approaches to life’s challenges. Ask yourself: What if I expressed what I uniquely valued without apologies? What if I did it with authenticity and enthusiasm?

How might sudden ideas spark activities that feel in alignment with my personal values? And, looking at things from a different angle: What might be possible on a practical level with a bigger network of like-minded people?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 11-18 degrees of  Virgo, Taurus, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel more blessed by this planetary connection than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Also on Monday late evening, a somewhat challenging Mars/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:50pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday late evening (Sept. 5th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday late evening. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make adjustments  — first though, we must develop an inner awareness of what exactly needs adjusting.

We come to realize that we might have become overly enthusiastic and optimistic. What’s more, our drive for a collective cause is actually leaving us feeling drained and frustrated, while at the same time, we harbor a strong desire to improve our daily health regimes and the data that supports those improved routines.

It will help us manage both these energies if we look more closely at how we use our own energy: simply put, are we in tune with our physical body? Are we making healthy decisions?

Ask yourself: Could I connect and collaborate with my communities and still find time to improve my own health or work routines?

Am I being too impulsive or impatient? Restless? What might it look like if I focused my energies towards being of Service?

It’s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our communities and networks or vice versa. Can we stay open to new philosophies that are held collectively — and to what they offer us? And perhaps also toward our desire to further expand our visions for humanity?

Ignoring conflict will not serve us now, nor will being overly analytical or critical of ourselves or others; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your physical body.

Ask yourself: Is doing more, necessarily better? How might “doing too much” impact my well-being? Where might I be bringing an attitude that doesn’t serve my physical and mental well-being? (A good place to “aim” this question is toward the “collective bigger picture”)

Here’s another question you may find helpful: If I check against my direct experience, how do collective assumptions or “stories” impact my physical and mental well-being?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-26 degrees of Virgo or Aquarius? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Sagittarius? If so, you will be…

The Balance between “Doing” & “Being”

This week’s headline items: very early on Monday morning, Mercury changes signs from Virgo to Libra and the last Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact; the Uranus station ends (in Taurus) on Thursday; and the Balsamic Moon phase begins early Friday.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 9 hours); Friday very early morning (for almost 10.5 hours); and Sunday late morning (for almost 9 hours).

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

Since we will enter Mercury’s pre-Shadow phase next week, Monday (Sept. 6th) — see Sunday’s entry for more details — I wanted to invite those of you who haven’t seen our latest Forecasting Forum yet, to watch it!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 30th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday night/Wednesday very early 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 1:10am EDT, Mercury changes signs from practical Virgo to harmony-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Nov. 5th (much longer due to the Mercury Retrograde phase in late Sept). Mercury in Libra changes the way we communicate and think. We are more likely now to see things from multiple points of view and to think in abstractions, this helps us be objective.

We have a strong sense of justice and look for ways to make compromises. We speak and act diplomatically; this comes from our desire for harmony, peace, diplomacy, win/win outcomes. We feel better when we are not pressured into making quick decisions. Very probably, the two things we will most avoid at this time are confrontations and emotional intensity.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need for justice and fairness. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Libra? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 9.5 weeks.

Monday early morning, at 3:13am EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 7 degrees Gemini becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Gemini, on Sunday afternoon (Aug. 29th). The Moon in curious, chatty Gemini makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in practical, detail- and service-oriented Virgo.

This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing any projects begun around the last New Moon — in this case, that would be Aug. 8th — rather than launching new ones.

As best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer? If so, you will….

Bring the Gift of Compassion

This week’s headline items: On Monday morning, Mercury in Virgo squares the degree of the June 10th Solar Eclipse (and Mars in Virgo does likewise late on Sunday evening). The Sun in Virgo squares the Moon Nodes in Gemini/Sagittarius on Saturday night/Sunday very early morning.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for almost 10 hours), Thursday early evening (just over 7 hours), Sunday late morning (almost 2 hours).

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

What was important to you in the summers of 2013 and 2002? What of that is asking to be completed over the next two weeks? What keeps happening since July 23rd in your social networks or interactions? What needs adjusting? What needs outright change?

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 23rd:

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

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

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

Monday at 6am EDT, Mercury reaches 19º47′ of Virgo and squares the degree of June 10th’s Solar Eclipse. This represents a turning point in our thinking. As best as you can, observe how this plays out for you, and ask yourself: What needs an adjustment in my thinking or my inner dialog? What creative solutions might clear the way for me to appreciate the differences in opinions that I see or hear — with an open heart?

What intentions did you set at the time of the Solar Eclipse in June? What might you see if you kept both your eyes and your mind open? How might objectivity and flexibility support you at this time?

Monday morning, a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 8:48am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Friday evening on; and it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. This signals a time when we don’t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to “casual”.

We feel a strong sense of responsibility to society and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have an increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.

We bring more maturity, respect, and integrity to our interactions — and this is a good time to approach like-minded people or those in our communities (locally and online) for their input. This doesn’t have to be “solemn”, so ask yourself: What if I connected to myself, then to others, for an exchange of information? Who might welcome a dialogue (or even a collaboration) that is open-minded, socially responsible, & sustainable? Where can I build mutual respect with others? 

If a book or a song had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a poem have to say on the subject? How could I personally encourage new approaches and priorities?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-12 degrees of Libra, Aquarius, or Gemini? How about an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Capricorn? If so, you will feel…

What’s The Bigger Picture?

This week’s headline items: Venus changes sign from Virgo to Libra very early on Monday; Uranus comes to a halt late on Thursday, beginning its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase; the Full Moon in Aquarius (which is also a “Blue Moon”) becomes exact on Sunday morning; the Sun changes sign from Leo to Virgo on Sunday early evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for a little over 4 hours); Thursday evening (for almost 9 hours); and Sunday morning (for 40 minutes).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 16th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. 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.

Monday very early morning, at 12:27am EDT, Venus changes signs from detail-oriented, practical Virgo to harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Sept 10th. With this placement, we prefer to show kindness, even-handedness, and a willingness to make our relationships work.

We value our relationships at this time and we prefer entering into equal partnerships. Until Sept 10th, we can develop an idealized view of what a relationship “should” look like. We do our best to treat others fairly for the next three and a half weeks, seeking the middle ground. We are more likely to appreciate the arts, dance, beauty, entertainment and romance.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus? If so, you will feel more connected to your inner harmony for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to others in an equal setting. If you are a Libra Sun- or Rising-sign you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.

Monday evening, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 7:35pm. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (Aug 15th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (Aug. 17th). This will contribute either to a lack of mental energy or a need to focus on our commitments with others. This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice.

The sheer scope of our goals in life can require more effort than is immediately obvious. Hard work can take its toll on our health. If we partition our big ideas into achievable segments — and go one clear action step at a time — we can move forward while maintaining inner peace and outer health. Use your time wisely! Develop the inner awareness needed, so you can see what needs adjusting.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-10 degrees of Virgo or Aquarius? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn? If so, you will be…

August 9th – 15th

Experience A New Depth of Intimacy

This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Leo to Virgo on Wednesday; Uranus’ Station intensifies on Thursday; it is time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions on Friday; on Sunday, the First Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (for 2.5 hours); Wednesday morning (for almost 9 hours); Friday late afternoon (for almost 3.5 hours) and Sunday late evening (for a brief 7 minutes).

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

I had an amazing Interview with my dear friend Michelle Leduc Catlin (a Health Freedom Blog Writer & Podcast Host) for my Interview Series: How to Deal with Uncertainty & Change, Episode Four.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 9th:

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 10:56am EDT. 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, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy 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 before 8:23am or after 10:56am EDT: If you haven’t set your New Moon Intentions yet, there is still time! You have until 9:50am EDT tomorrow (Tuesday). If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon in Leo.

For more info on how to best set your New Moon Intentions, click here to read my article on the subject.

Monday very early morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 3:03am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early morning (Aug 8th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday early morning. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, awkward, and need to make a choice — so we need to develop inner awareness.

Our compulsive side may lead us down a path that evades rational understanding. Our judgments — of circumstances, ourselves, others — can be so extreme during this aspect that we can’t seem to make intelligent and consistent progress in our lives for the three days it is in effect.

As best as you can, strive to be more trusting, and less strict with yourself for these three days — and surrender to whatever you are experiencing right now… like everything else, it’s temporary. Flexibility and a playful attitude could be helpful too 😉

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-26 degrees of Leo or Capricorn? 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 is the ruler of Scorpio).

Monday at 8:23am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 2.5 hours until 10:56am EDT. Use this intuitive time to choose clearly when it comes to expanding your perspective around a cause or like-minded people. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now, and for moving into an intellectually stimulating and inspirational 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 morning ahead of time.

Monday at 10:56am EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. 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 evening, a Venus/Neptune opposition becomes exact at 8:20pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Saturday morning (Aug 7th) on; and it will remain strong until Thursday morning. We are ready to dissolve anything that we valued in the past that no longer serves either ourselves or humanity.

Our relationships might feel confusing or disappointing, they might even be some of the things “dissolving” — but this is helping us get more connected with our inner knowingness, or our inner sensing of what feels “right”. Compassion may play a big role in our interactions.

This also might not be the best time to start a new relationship, as we have the tendency to idealize others, leading to disappointment down the line. As best as you can, find your inner balance with what’s real and what’s not… and allow others to be human, limitations and all 😉

Financially, we may want to invest in creative or spiritual endeavors that include others, but hold off on buying anything concrete or practical until after Aug. 12th.

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