There are several planets that have importance in this New Moon chart: Mercury in Leo, Uranus in Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius, Chiron in Aries, and Mars in Virgo.
Mercury aligns with the New Moon in Leo, making mental engagement an important part of our process for the next 28 days. Mercury also makes several other aspects in this New Moon chart (including a “Yod”), making it especially important for this Lunation.
Uranus is not only exalted in this New Moon chart, it is also once again the Focus point of a T-Square… But more about all of that in a moment; first let’s talk about the New Moon energies:
The New Moon in fun-loving, extroverted, expressive Leo has us looking for heartfelt experiences. It’s important for us to express ourselves, to learn about love — and in particular, to learn about how those things work together to help us create from the heart and from a place of joy.
Think about the keywords for this self-expressed fire sign: “proud, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active, open, fun-loving”… How could you live into those words?
Leo is ruled by the Sun, symbol of consciousness and the unique light we came to shine in this lifetime — this is what we were born to explore and express — so ask yourself: Where could I shine my unique light more brightly? What brings me joy? Not just in general… but in this very moment?
Leo also represents our…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 14-18 degrees ofLeo, Aquarius, Taurus, orScorpio? Or do your Ascendant or Sun-sign inLeoor Cancer? This New Moon may feel stronger to you…
And last, but definitely not least: the New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; the best time for the intention-setting process is soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
That means the best time to set intentions this month would be between9:50am, Aug. 8th, and 9:50am onAug. 10th. The only exception is the roughly 2.5 hours on Aug. 9th, between 8:23am and 10:56am — during that time, the Moon will be Void of Course, which (as noted above) is never a good time to set Intentions. As always, all times are in EDT — the New York timezone.
If you live outside the EDT timezone, and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter. I will be posting reminders on both platforms on Aug. 8th, 9th, and 10th, to let you know when is the best time to set your intentions 😉

With her Readings, her coaching and her Soul-Based Astrology Courses she aims to empower and support people in fulfilling their life’s potential and aligning with Soul Purpose.
This week’s headline items: the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Wednesday; Uranus starts to slow down (station) on Thursday, preparing to go retrograde; and the New Moon in Leo becomes exact on Sunday morning.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 1 hour); Wednesday afternoon (a little over 1.5 hours); and Friday evening (a little over 9 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, August 2nd:
Monday morning, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 4:46am EDT. 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,a Sun/Saturn opposition becomes exact at 2:14am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from July 29th on, it will remain strong until this Thursday (Aug. 5th). We are called to balance our unique creative self-expression and “desires” against a focus on our long-term commitments and contributions in society.
Give yourself permission to connect to your heart-energy. Be aware of what energizes you and brings you joy, and at the same time, take responsibility for putting a healthy foundation under any long-term commitments and contributions to society.
We may experience a lack of energy or confidence this week. We need to “buckle down”; this could be projected out into the world as limitations that arise from people or circumstances. Energetic blocks and a general feeling of slowdown are also possible.
Paradoxically though, we can also take this time to sort out our life, sift out goals or plans that are out of date, and thereby become more truthful to ourselves. Go slow and steady with this, as pushing too hard will backfire; ask yourself: Would you rather be “in control” or happy? This is also true when dealing with others — pushing will most likely backfire…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)
Monday at 3:41am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 1 hour, until 4:46am EDT. Use this intuitive time to wish for not only for peace and physical comfort, but also for a new understanding of your future visions — it’s important to explore what it could mean for humanity. You may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 4:46am EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday early evening. For the next 2.5 days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂 As best as you can, be patient with yourself and others.
Monday, late evening, a harmonious Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 11:41pm EDT; we started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early morning (Aug 1st)on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Aug. 4th). This aspect is a wonderful possibility for active healing in regards to our conditioning and day to day thinking structures.
We can bring compassion, both for ourselves and for others, to communications that trigger us. We are able to allow more for our “inner playful child” to come out in unique ways as we share ourselves. Forgiveness and understanding towards ourselves and others comes more easily now in general.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-16 degrees of Leo, Aries, orSagittarius? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be…

This week’s headline items: Chiron resumes its normal pace (ending its station) on Monday; Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo late on Tuesday evening; Jupiter (currently retrograde) re-enters Aquarius on Wednesday; Mars changes signs from Leo to Virgo Thursday afternoon; the last Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact Saturday morning.
There will only be two Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 9 hours) and Friday afternoon (for a brief 30 minutes).
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 current Uranus Station & Retrograde phases inTaurus, as well as the ongoing Saturn-Uranus Square in Aquarius/Taurus… feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation “Uranus in Taurus Exalted Aug. 2021″ — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…
Where are you experiencing a need for more spaciousness or change? What needs to break down, so you can have a breakthrough? Where are you being called to go beyond what you are comfortable with?
Where does Aquarius fall in your own birth chart?
Where does 9-17 degrees of Taurus fall in your own birth chart?
What Houses are impacted by the Uranus Station/Retrograde? What about the Saturn-Uranus Square?
Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on July 23rd late evening 😉
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 26th:
Monday,the Moon remains in creative, sensitivePisces all day. It will journey there until Wednesday morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.
Monday 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 be creative, outgoing and self-expressed — and on the other hand, the need to go within and be quiet, so we can hear the subtle voice of our intuition. (Moon in Pisces quincunxes Sun in Leo, exact at 5:55am EDT)
Monday morning, we are invited to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others. Do your best to discern what works for you, and what doesn’t, while also connecting and engaging with a compassionate heart. (Moon in Pisces opposes Venus in Virgo, exact at 9:04am EDT)
Also on Monday, Chiron ends its Station phase and gets back to its normal pace through the sky — but appears to be moving backward through the sky (as seen from Earth — that’s what “retrograde” refers to). We have a chance to do some internal work on any wounding or insecurities around personal identity, physical appearance, or leadership abilities that came up over the last couple of weeks.

On July 23rd, at 10:37pm EDT,the Full Moon in 1.5 degrees ofAquarius becomes exact. The Moon in freedom-loving, forward-thinkingAquarius opposes the Sun in fun-loving, expressive Leo.If you are already a Member of my online community,you can click here to watch my video about this Full Moon 😉
Uranus in Taurus (the modern ruler of Aquarius), is still in a Square aspect to Saturn (the traditional ruler of Aquarius) in this Full Moon chart. The Moon in Aquarius makes an out-of-sign conjunction with Pluto, and approaches a conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius. There are also three Oppositions and three Quincunxes in this Full Moon chart.
Oppositions require integration and balance, whereas Quincunxes invite us to make some inner adjustments, as we may be experiencing some internal discomfort. Two of those three Quincunxes are inviting us to pay closer attention to our health. These are the major themes of this Full Moon chart and we will address them in detail in a moment.
But first, let’s talk about this Full Moon:
The Moon in Aquarius opposes the Sun in Leo; thishighlights the power of our individual creativity and the exponential potency of collaboration. Each of us is invited to reclaim ourselves, and add our voice, heart, and hands to something that has meaning for us.
The invitation here is to dare to be different, and to remember how we are all part of a larger whole. The highest quest of Leo leads to authentic Self-expression: to embody our gifts, shine our light, and live our truth. The highest task of Aquarius, on the other hand, is the attainment of unity in diversity, where everyone’s uniqueness is honored and included.
When we align our head with our heart, we feel our interconnectedness with all of humanity, and we create and connect from love instead of fear. Given that Leo represents our individual self-expression and Aquarius our vision for humankind, a question is raised: How can we best achieve a balance between these two energies? Or perhaps even an integration?
For the next two weeks, we’ll be looking for answers to this question, as we might become more awarethat something is out of alignment.
Even the brightest of Full Moons has a shadow side — so let’s take a look at the shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace.
As always with shadow aspects of ourselves, we need to beware of getting triggered and jumping to conclusions; we need to make sure we take time to respond rather than react. So here are the shadow sides of this Full Moon — let’s start with Leo’s shadow side:

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-4 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus,Scorpio or 29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

With her Readings, her coaching and her Soul-Based Astrology Courses she aims to empower and support people in fulfilling their life’s potential and aligning with Soul Purpose.
This week’s headline items: Chiron in Aries is still exalted/stationing all week; Venus moves from Leo into Virgo on Wednesday evening; the Sun moves from Cancer into Leo on Thursday late morning. Late Friday evening, the Full Moon in Aquarius becomes exact.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for a little over 4.5 hours); Wednesday evening (for a brief 10 mins); Friday early afternoon (for almost 8 hours); and Sunday evening (for a little over 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention two things:
If you missed last week’s email about Episode Three of my new Interview Series “How to Deal with Uncertainty & Change“, feel free to watch it here.
As we move through this time of heightened change and unpredictability, I will be interviewing people I love and respect, chatting about their daily routines and practices that have provided them the greatest level of support over these past 15 months (or longer).
In this episode we focus on being your own authority when it comes to your body, and your fitness. Would you like to know how to support yourself in the best way possible on a physical, emotional, and mental level, now and into the future?
===> We also 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!
To ask a question in advance; please email meby July 22nd,… 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, July 19th:
Monday morning,the Moon remains passionate, all-or-nothingScorpio. It will journey there until 5:08pm EDT. 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 therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.
Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Monday late morning, a challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 10:52am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (July 17th) on; and it will remain strong until Tuesday night. This combination might bring up some insecurities in our verbal, in-person or email interactions.
That said, this could also be an opportunity for healing; we are energized to move past harsh criticism of ourselves or others, towards more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. As best as you can, stretch yourself — and be open to bringing love and understanding to it all (and that includes you) 🙂
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or any personal planets in 10-16 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn or Libra? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).
Monday at 12:30pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 4.5 hours until 5:08pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to enjoy familiar company and surroundings. Connect with others on a deep emotional level and nurture the ones closest to you (yourself included).
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 5:08pm EDT, the Moon moves intooptimistic, adventurous, truth-seekingSagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. 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,…

This week’s headline items: Chiron, the Wounded Healer, remains exalted all week (still stationing until July 26th); it is time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions on Wednesday; Chiron comes to a halt in Aries on Thursday afternoon, starting its annual 5-month Retrograde phase; and the first Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Saturday morning.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 12th:
Monday morning,the Moon remains in fun and attention-lovingLeoall day. 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 today. 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 at 8:29am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 20 hours until 4:30am EDT (Tuesday early morning).Use this intuitive time to practice active gratitude. As best as you can, be aware of taking a prideful stand, or taking something too personally. What personal goals or desires are you called to go after?
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 Tuesday early morning ahead of time.
Monday afternoon, a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (July 10) on; and it will remain strong until Wednesday afternoon. During this aspect, we are more optimistic, which is good, since we see the bigger picture, communicate more positively, and readily inspire others in practical ways.
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 explore family or spiritual relations with people from other cultures and countries, or to learn a foreign language that would support our emotional connections.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio,or 28-29º of Gemini, Aquarius or Libra? Do you have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini,Virgo or Sagittarius? If so, you will be…

On Thursday, Chiron’s Station intensifies; the New Moonin Cancer becomes exact Friday late evening; early Sunday, Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for almost 8.5 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 9.5 hours) and Saturday early afternoon (for a little over 8 hours).

In this 60 minute class, I share about Soul-Based Astrology, and how it is different from other kinds of Astrology, what you can learn from it — and also what a “Moon void of course” is, what “Houses” are, and more!

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 5th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus. It will journey thereuntil 9:24pm EDT. 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 rest of today? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday at 12:57pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 8.5 hours, until 9:24pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.
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 the late evening ahead of time.
Monday afternoon, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:14pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Saturday (July 3rd) on; and it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening (July 7th). We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones 😉
Ask yourself: What is my uniqueness? How could I express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-16 degrees of Cancer, Taurus, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)
Also on Monday, around 6:40pm EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins as the Moon reaches 29 degrees of Taurus. This lasts until Friday late evening, when the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact (more on that on Friday… 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 at 9:24pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey untilThursday late morning. For the next two-and-a-half days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we…

This New Moon has a lot of aspects to other planets in this New Moon chart, especially much slower moving ones — including Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Whenever a faster moving body links up with slower, outer planets in close aspect, the collective desire for change increases. But first let’s talk about the Cancer archetype:
Cancer is the first water sign of the zodiac, as such, it relates to the development of the “emotional body” — so this Moon cycle will continue to amplify feelings, instincts and needs.
Our feeling nature has been denied and suppressed for millennia, but we have begun to embrace it more fully — feelings are an essential source of information about our true needs — they are a dashboard that tells us what is healthy for us. When we don’t heed the information, we become dependent on others for validation and direction, or get lost in addictions and distractions.
With this New Moon occurring in protective, introverted Cancer, we’ll surround ourselves with quality and safety; we can expect anything connected to home, family, real-estate, or childhood issues to be heightened in our awareness for the next four weeks.
In Cancer, this New Moon highlights the importance of listening to our feelings, focusing on Self-care, healing old wounds from the past, and releasing unhealthy patterns that keep us stuck in the past.
Cancer is all about supporting and protecting life, but many of us are conditioned to ignore our bodies and our environment — along with our inner life, feeling-bodies, and emotional/spiritual connection to other life forms.
This creates a disconnect not only from our true selves but also from the rest of the world. Many of us tend to put little value on emotional intelligence, but it’s very hard to have meaningful, authentic connections without it — and it begins with…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 16-20 degrees ofCancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra? 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 inLeoorCancer(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 bestand most potent time to set intentions would be any time between9:17pm(July 9th) and 12:10pm EDT, on July 10th; and then again from 8:21pm (July10th) until 9:17pm EDT on July 11th.
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on twitter, as I will post reminders on July 9th, 10th and 11th to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉

Catch Your Breath — Forecast forJune 28th – July 4th
This week’s headline items: Mercury resumes its normal pace (ending its station) on Monday; the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday late afternoon; on Friday, Chiron starts to slow down (station), preparing to go retrograde.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday until 1:51pm EDT, Wednesday early afternoon (for a little over 7.5 hours) and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 8 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me make a quick announcement:
If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week… and still would like to learn how to align yourself with the current Neptune Station & Retrograde phases inPisces, as well as the upcoming Chiron Station & Retrograde phases in Aries… feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about “Neptune & Chiron Station-Retrograde phases June-July 2021″ — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…
Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on June 25th late evening 😉
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 28th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoCuntil 1:51pm EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.
In the early evening, a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 5:31pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early evening on, it will remain strong until Tuesday early evening. 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 in order to see what needs adjusting.
This aspect marks a fork in the road: Will we step onto a path of creative and joyful self-expression? Or will we take the path that leads to a larger understanding of intuition and inner guidance, and of our perspectives and attitudes concerning our interconnectivity with everything around us?
Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these issues in our life. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of Leo or Pisces? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Also, Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. Communication and transportation is now back to “normal” as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury Retrograde phase (May 29th – June 22nd) can now be reviewed.What did you discover about your inner dialogue — especially when it comes to…

This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Station phase intensifies on Monday and on Tuesday early evening, it comes to a halt, ending its 3-week Retrograde phase and beginning its post-Shadow phase. The Full Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Neptunecomes to a halt (starting its 5-month Retrograde phase) on Friday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Saturday night/Sunday very early morning; and Jupiter’s Station ends on Sunday.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 6 hours), Wednesday late evening (for 11 hours), Saturday morning (for almost 1.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for almost 23 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, let me mention one more time:
If you missed last week’s email about Episode Two of my new Interview Series “How to Deal with Uncertainty & Change“, feel free to watch it here. As we move through this time of heightened change and unpredictability, I will be interviewing people I love and respect, chatting about the daily routines and practices that have provided them the greatest level of support over these past 15 months (or longer). In this episode we focus on Self-love and Emotional Acceptance.
==> We also 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!
To ask a question in advance; please email meby June 24th,… 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, June 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.
Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Monday late morning, a harmonious Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 9:57am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (June 18th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday late evening (June 23rd). This aspect makes for a very creative and beautiful time; music, art, the movies and the theatre are in high demand. Spiritual endeavors are easily shared with others.
We might not have the best boundaries in place in our relationships, socializing, or with money… but we sure as hell know how to enjoy ourselves. We connect to others in a compassionate, sweet, loving way; we are more likely to feel romantic.
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.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of Cancer, Pisces or Scorpio? 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 Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).
Also on Monday, Mercury’s Station phase intensifiesuntil June 24th, as Mercury is preparing to come to halt Tuesday evening — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase (more on that tomorrow…). During this intensified Station phase, we feel Mercury’s energies even more strongly.
For the next 3 days, we need to be even more patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. As best as you can, give yourself and others a lot of space!
This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.
We might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready, or travel somewhere — especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time (for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, click here).
Here are some questions you could ask over the next 3 days: Am I feeling mentally scattered? Nervous? Am I over-thinking? Am I trying to be in constant mental movement or stimulation? What information is truly needed right now? Am I trying to jump the gun on something?
What would it be like to connect and communicate only what is essential? What will get me 1% closer to that, right here and now?
Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have…
