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

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

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

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
“Thanks so much!! Your guidance and insights are always so on point and I feel blessed! 💞” — Jazmin M.
“Bravo to all the creativity everyone, and thanks Sonja for yet another excellent webinar” — Deb E.
Sonja’s passion is for connecting with people and helping them transform their lives. This led her to train as a life coach, in addition to her lifelong study of Astrology.

On April 6th, at 12:34am EDT,the Full Moon becomes exact in 16 degrees of Libra. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for increased awareness and integration of the traits connected to the relevant Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.
This Full Moon has heightened effects on us for several important reasons: first, it is the beginning of Eclipse Season — a time of uncertainty and change. A time that invites us to allow for a consciousness upgrade until the next Lunation that is no longer a Solar or Lunar Eclipse. In this case, Eclipse Season lasts until May 19th (until the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact).
So the questions here are: What am I aware of? What will I choose? Where will I focus my mind? My Heart? What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being in transition?
Then there are some powerful aspects in this Lunar chart:
Mars, the ruler of Aries, is currently in Cancer and makes a wide Square aspect to the Full Moon polarity Libra-Aries!
Pluto in Aquarius makes a close Square to the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio
The Moon in Libra opposes a Chiron/Sun/Jupiter alignment in Aries and quincunxes Uranus in Taurus
A Kite aspect involving a Water Grand Trine with Mars-Saturn-South Node, and two Sextiles to the Mercury/North Node alignment in Taurus
There are some other aspects in this Full Moon chart, and we will address all of them in a moment — and if you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon video here
On April 4th in the afternoon, the Moon enters Libra; this starts the energetic build-up towards this eventful Full Moon — and almost 43 hours later, the Sun in Aries opposes the Moonin Libra.
Ask yourself: How far have I come with the Intentions I set around March 21st’s New Moon? If I’m not where I’d like to be with those intentions, what new course might take me closer to my goals?
The Libra-Aries polarity highlights the spiritual dance between various polarities:
individual drives/goals and one-on-one relationships
masculine and feminine (in their ideal versions)
independence and collaboration
Whether we are single or partnered up, we are all in relationship to someone — any one-on-one relationship counts here — business, personal, health-related, etc. For the next two weeks, we seek balancebetween…

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

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

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

Please note: Daylight Savings Time begins in the U.K. and Europe on Sunday very early morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 3 minutes), Thursday early afternoon (1.5 hours), and Saturday early afternoon (almost 8.5 hours).

I could go on… so hold on to your seats and stay tuned in for all the upcoming planetary movements and shifts! Feel free to to click on the various links above to get more info on the individual transits.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 20th:
Monday,the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Piscesall day. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
Monday early afternoon, we get an opportunity to be very present, to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”.
As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progressive, new ideas about what is important to you and things that could make your own and other people’s lives easier on a very practical level. (Moon in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 1:34pm EDT).
Monday late afternoon, an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 4:12pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday (March 18th); it will remain strong until this Wednesday. This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.
It’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 27-29 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, or 0-1 degrees of Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, or Gemini? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)
Monday early evening, at 5:24pm EDT, the Sun changes signs from dreamy Pisces to fast-paced, enthusiastic Aries, where it will journey untilApril 20th. The entrance of the Sun into 0º of Aries is also known as the Spring (or Vernal) Equinox.
This signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet — the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.
With the Sun entering Aries for the next four weeks, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals, and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, and move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It’s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.
All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an Aries, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.

Before we get started, just a quick reminder: If you would like to have a better relationship with yourself and with others… On April 5th at 7:30pm EDT, we will have another 2-hour online Mini-Retreat: “Leap forward into Love — A Taste of Venus”.
This event is not being recorded, as it is very interactive and experiential, so we decided to make it live participation only!
This New Moon is unique in several ways: firstly, it is another SuperMoon (the fourth of four Super New Moons in a row). This means greater awareness of the issues connected to this particular New Moon energy.
Secondly, it is the first of two New Moons in a row in the same sign. The next Lunar cycle begins on April 20th — it will also be a New Moon in Aries and the first North Node Solar Eclipse in this fiery sign (it’s been 19 years since we had one of those — to be precise, the last one was in April 2004).
Another essential thing to note about this New Moon is the early degree it’s in. This Super New Moon occurs less than 24 hours after the Spring or Vernal Equinox — when the Sun moves into 0 degrees of Aries (an exalted degree). The New Moon becomes exact before it reaches 1 degree of Aries.
A New Moon in a cardinal sign at such a potent degree has lots of fire and initiation energy connected to it. Therefore anything we launch in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. That said, I recommend doing so before we enter Eclipse Season on April 6th, and certainly before April 10th, when we reach the 10-day mark before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact.
This New Moon chart has a Neptune/Sun/Moon/Mercury alignment in Pisces/Aries, followed by a Chiron-Jupiter alignment in Aries; in other words, we have one planet in Pisces, four planets, and one asteroidin Aries. This Line-upin Aries heightens the need for something new and for taking inspiredactions.
Since Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is part of this Line-up, we are being asked to balance our approach to life by integrating the divine feminine and uplifting the sacred masculine. We are being asked to…

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of either Aries, Libra, Capricorn, Cancer, or 29 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, 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 intentions for this month’s Moon cycle — this process is potent with the New Moon in Aries — and as always, this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact (and definitely not during a Moon void of course).
So this month,the best and most potent time to set intentions will be between 1:23pm on March 21st and 1:13pm on March 23rd (as always, all times are EDT- New York time).For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, click here.
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on Twitter. I will post reminders on March 21st in the afternoon, March 22nd throughout the day, and the morning of March 23rd to let you know the most potent times to set your intentions.

This week’s headline items: on Tuesday evening, the Mars-Neptune Square in Gemini/Pisces becomes exact for the third time in 5 months and the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact; Mars’ post-Shadow phase ends late Wednesday evening; Venus changes signs from Aries to Taurus, on Thursday evening; the Balsamic Moon phase begins Saturday early morning; very early Sunday, Mercury changes signs from Pisces to Aries.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 23 mins.), Wednesday early morning (for a little over 3 hours), Friday late morning (for 11 minutes), and Sunday morning (for a little over 4.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
Would you like to have a better relationship with yourself? In three weeks, we will have another 2-hour online Mini-Retreat: “Leap forward into Love — A Taste of Venus”.
Monday,the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 3:21am EDT. Emotional authenticity is essential to us now; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday, very early morning, at 2:58am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that lasts for 23 minutes, until 3:21am EDT. If you are awake at that time, use this as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you long-term.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday very early morning ahead of time.
Also very early on Monday morning, at 3:21am EDT,the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Aries, making this a great time to explore our individual passions and goals. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your own desires — and get excited about new paths and new projects.
Ask yourself: What might open up if I became more connected to “I am that I am”? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards myself and my personal passions and goals?
What might promote my independence and me walking my own path? What might do the same for growth around my sexuality and my human identity? What personal beliefs about my identity am I now ready to explore or go beyond?
Use this time to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of your personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
“Thanks so much!! Your guidance and insights are always so on point and I feel blessed! 💞” — Jazmin M.
“Bravo to all the creativity everyone, and thanks Sonja for yet another excellent webinar” — Deb E.

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

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

This week’s headline items: the Full Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Tuesday morning; soon after, Saturn changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces. Finally, the Jupiter/Chiron alignment becomes exact on Sunday.
Please note: Daylight Saving Time begins in the US & Canada on Sunday very early morning.
There will only be two short Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday morning (for 37 minutes) and Friday early evening (for 29 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 6th:
Monday,the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgoall day, turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services, and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday morning, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 8:42am EST. We started to feel this aspect build last Saturday morning (March 4th); it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. We can become more aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones.
Ask yourself: What is my unique value? How could I tune into that gently and consistently? If I did tune in, is it at least possible that I could get more perfectly aligned with my values? My sense of worth?
What if the whole Universe was intelligent? What if that included every cell in my body? What knowledge would my body want to share with me?
As best as you can, watch out for those messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-18 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).
Late Monday morning, we may need to balance head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. It’s a great day for connecting with others and being of service. We may also want to talk to our pets or engage in more spiritual conversations that can also support our physical well-being. (Moon in Virgo opposes Mercury in Pisces, exact at 11:32am EST)

Here are two testimonials from our participants after joining one of our recent Forums:
“Thank you Sonja for your expertise. I have peace of mind now, I understand the astrological forces at play and I appreciate your in depth explanation of the layers of aspects compounding things for me.” — Tatia B.
“Wanted to say how great the latest Forum was. I love it when you add the human touch (personal experiences) it shows that we are all learning, and can share on the journey and admitting that you are also on the path. It makes your webinars much more approachable than most other peoples.” — Steve M.

The next Full Moon will be “exact” on March 7th, at 7:40am EST in 16.5 degrees of Virgo — and by then, we are halfway through the Lunar cycle that started on February 20th.
Look at the New Moon Intentions you set around Feb. 20th or 21st, and ask yourself: How far have I come with those Intentions? If I’m not where I’d like to be with my goals, what new course might bring them closer?
We start to feel the build-up towards this Full Moon when the Moon enters Virgo on March 5th at 10:38pm EST.
This particular Full Moon has a planetary line-up in Pisces and Aries and is part of a T-Square with Mars in Gemini as the Focal Point. We will examine other Moon aspects, including the trine to Uranus in Taurus and the Quincunx to Venus in Aries. More about all of this in a moment…
We also have two planets (Saturn & Pluto) in 29º of their signs (in this Full Moon chart) — an exalted degree — bringing heightened energy (possibly a bit of an obsession) to our need to complete and accomplish something worthwhile.
Saturn changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces only 55 minutes after the Full Moon becomes exact! This changes our focus for the next 2.5 years! What needs your focus and commitment until 2025/26? How can you turn your dreams into reality?
We will talk in more detail about Saturn’s journey through Pisces — and how it all relates to your birth chart — in our Forecasting Forum on Monday, March 6th. This 2.5-year journey invites us to find a new connection with Source or One-Consciousness/Presence – collectively and individually.
If you want to know how Saturn will impact you personally, you can access/purchase the mp4-video recording of “Saturn’s Journey through Pisces”here.
Now, a Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; during these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment, and integration around two perspectives that seem opposites.
We often experience this through our interactions with others, and since these interactions are also the pathway to resolution, relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.
The balance we seek between Virgo and Pisces seems to be the fundamental challenge of our time: to integrate head and heart, science and intuition, discernment and compassion. This Full Moon shows each of us…

This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact very early on Monday; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces early Thursday evening; the Mars-Neptune Square starts to build and get stronger on Saturday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for 1.5 hours), Friday late morning (for almost an hour), and Sunday late evening (for 20 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I have a gentle reminder:
Monday,the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible.
Monday, very early morning, at 3:06am EST, the first Quarter Moon in 8.5° ofGemini becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build when the Moon entered Gemini on Sunday late morning (Feb. 26th). The Moon, in chatty, versatile Gemini, makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate Pisces.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week (on Feb. 20th) saw a Super New Moon. “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is, therefore, a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-11 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Virgo, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Monday morning, we have the opportunity to connect to others and start a new adventure or simply do something that gets us excited about our personal goals. It is also an opportunity to see the bigger picture if we choose to — or shift our perspective by talking it through with someone else. (Moon in Gemini sextiles Jupiter in Aries, exact at 9:08am EST)
Monday afternoon, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:30pm EST)
Monday late evening, we are invited to connect with others and share ourselves in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to us in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc. (Moon conjuncts Mars in Gemini, exact at 11:21pm EST)
