The Greatest Perspective Shift of All
This week’s headline items: Three planets end their various Station phases this week: Neptune, Mars, and Mercury. We start with Neptune on Wednesday (the planet remains in direct motion); we continue with Mars on Thursday (it stays Retrograde); finally, Mercury on Friday (it stays direct.) In other headlines, the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn early on Saturday, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, and a last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact late Sunday afternoon/early evening.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 5 hours), Thursday night/Friday very early morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday morning (for a little over 5.5 hours).

**Star Members** already have access to the mp4-video recording of this webinar (please check your email).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, December 16th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day; it will journey there until Tuesday evening. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and therefore, our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.
Self-care is key for the next two and a half days!
Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar, and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.
Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday morning until 10:35am EST, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges…
On the one hand, the desire to collaborate with like-minded people who share our vision for a better future — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 8:34am EST)
Monday 10:35am until 4:35pm EST, is a great time to focus on spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and to lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, focus on the here and now, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. (Moon in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces, exact at 1:34pm EST)
Monday late evening from 8:15pm EST on, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:14pm EST)

What Has Emerged?
This week’s headline items: Mars and Neptune remain exalted throughout the week. On Wednesday, Mercury begins to slow down as it prepares to come to a halt on Sunday afternoon, marking the end of its Retrograde phase and the start of its post-Shadow phase. Additionally, Chiron will start to slow down on Saturday in preparation for its halt on December 29th, which will also signify the end of its Retrograde phase. A Full Moon in Gemini will occur early Sunday morning.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 5 hours), Tuesday early evening (for almost 18 hours), Friday morning (for almost 5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for almost 5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, December 9th:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 8:38am EST. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that 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.
Monday at 3:35am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 5 hours until 8:38am EST. Use this brief intuitive time to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best. Resting and allowing ourselves to go with the flow also works.
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 until late morning ahead of time.
Monday at 8:38am EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects.
Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately. Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time.
In general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.
Monday, from 11:30am until 3:33pm EST, we have an opportunity to connect with like-minded people and move a project forward that is dear to us. It’s time for action: What small (or even large) action steps could you take? Or is it a question of “who” rather than “how”? (Moon in Aries sextiles Venus in Aquarius, exact at 1:33pm EST)
Monday evening, 5pm – 9pm EST, we will feel an urge to be creative and self-expressed. As best as you can, keep your heart wide open and have some fun!(Moon in Aries trines Mars in Leo, exact at 6:59pm EST)

Expand Your Perspective!
This week’s headline items: Mars and Neptune remain exalted all week; as a matter of fact, Mars’ Station phase intensifies on Tuesday, and it comes to a halt on Friday evening, starting its 2.5-month Retrograde phase. It’s time to set our New Moon Intentions on Monday (either in the morning or late afternoon), and we can start to take action on those New Moon Intentions early Friday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius very early Saturday, and Neptune comes to a halt that evening, ending its 5-month Retrograde. Lastly, there will be a first Quarter Moon in Pisces late Sunday morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for almost 5.5 hours), Wednesday evening (for almost 5 hours), and Friday evening (for almost 10 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, December 2nd:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 4:09pm EST. 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 must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired and have a high degree of independence. Combined, these influences make us prefer to inspire others to do things our way rather than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.
Monday in the late morning, a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:43am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (Nov. 29th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Dec. 4th). This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual.
We are ready to experiment — but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude, and people are more willing to socialize.
This is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving technology and the Internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities.
We lose our fear of taking risks now, so this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes — or, at the very least, a surprising one.
Ask yourself: How could I implement revolutionary business or social practices that support my current values and make life more enjoyable for everyone who interacts with me socially or does business with me?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo? 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 Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)
Monday at 10:47am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 5.5 hours until 4:09pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet.
You may also 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 slow down a little.
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 late morning until the last afternoon ahead of time.
Monday before 10:47am EST and after 4:09pm EST, will still be the best and most potent time to set your New Moon Intentions. If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — to (re-)watch my New Moon video: click here
Monday at 4:09pm EST, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious, which can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges, requiring structure and planning. When you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes even more important to us.
As best as you can during this time, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do.”
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces. This is a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.
It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?
What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?
What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, present, and feeling connected to the Universe in this now-moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 25th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo and VoC until 6:20am EST. Until then, we have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
And if you are awake before 6:20am EST, use it to balance head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition.
Monday at 6:20am EST, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.
These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.
We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No”
One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
Monday at 9:42pm EST, Mercury comes to a halt at 22º43′ of Sagittarius to start its last Retrograde phase of the year, slowing things down tremendously until Thursday, Nov. 28th!
With Mercury being Retrograde, its energy feels stronger inside of us, helping us recognize what is out of alignment and pointing to how we can begin realigning ourselves with the outside world, starting from within.
We can ask ourselves: If I examine my attitudes towards life, what do I find? How about my attitude toward others? What beliefs or narratives need to be revisited or released?
Did I make any significant decisions in the past 3 months? What are my perspectives on those decisions now? What needs to be reconsidered?
This Retrograde phase will end on Dec. 15th (reaching 6º24’ of Sagittarius at that time). People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one’s life during these times.
Between now and Dec. 15th, we have an opportunity to reevaluate our beliefs, narratives, attitudes, and awareness of our biases and social/cultural conditioning.
We also get a chance to look at the bigger picture of our lives and human existence, allowing us to address anything that requires a new perspective or attitude.
This is also a chance to readdress anything from the past that felt out of alignment and is now ready to be cleared or changed. Take time to investigate your own thought processes: What feels too busy to me? What if I got really clear about that?
For the next 3 weeks, we get a chance to connect with our inner dialog and carefully examine our thinking and communication. Watch out for being too optimistic or impatient.
As mentioned above, certain things may take longer — but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from being in alignment with the outer world — especially things that came up since Nov. 7th (when Mercury entered its pre-Shadow phase).
We are ready to reconsider, reinvestigate, or re-communicate any connections, thoughts, or conversations initiated since Nov. 7th. Ask yourself: What has emerged since then around beliefs, narratives, attitudes, and social-cultural conditioning?
What still needs my attention or reconsideration? Am I still aligned with what I want to explore about life? Where do I need to open my mind and be more generous? Where might I add a dash of humor?
How might exploration, contemplation, or philosophy broaden my conception of my role on Earth and benefit my mental well-being?
We may also get to reorganize any data or information accumulated over the last three months since the last Mercury Retrograde phase (that ended on August 28th, 2024). It’s time to rethink, retool, and release what is no longer in alignment.
During a Mercury Retrograde phase, read the small print, re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something), or ask another person for a second opinion…
During these periods, it’s best to be aware of any details we might have overlooked, check in with our intuition, and stay open to renegotiation or adjustments down the line! In general, Mercury Retrograde is an excellent time for re-evaluating and re-organizing.
This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions, particularly those made in the two weeks leading up to the start of the retrograde. It’s also applicable to our lives in general: we can gain a deeper understanding of what we choose to believe and which beliefs may need to change.
Reconnecting with friends, clients, neighbors, spiritual advisors, professors, and family members, especially siblings, is favored at this time.
Mercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this is also experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write, and hear is the same as the intended meaning — and use the spell-checker
— We also talked about this in our most recent Soulivity Today Show from Nov. 8th (feel free to watch or re-watch that episode)
Another thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart? Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey?
The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life — which are affected by this retrograde?
If you are familiar with your natal chart — take a look at your natal Mercury and where Sagittarius lands in your chart to see how this might play out for you.
As with any retrograde, some of us will be more affected than others, depending on how it interacts with our personal chart.
If you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or any personal planets in 4-24 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces, you will be more affected by this particular Retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have a Gemini or Virgo Sun- or Rising-sign (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo).

Active Healing
This week’s headline items: Pluto makes its final move into Aquarius on Tuesday afternoon. Multiple planets will start to slow down (station) this week: Mercury does so on Wednesday night, as the planet gets ready for its last Retrograde phase of the year; Neptune slows down on Sunday, as it readies itself to end a 5-month Retrograde. Mars will be exalted, starting on Saturday, as it prepares for an upcoming 11-week Retrograde phase in Leo-Cancer — and Saturn ends its station phase. Lastly, there will also be a Last Quarter Moon in Virgo on Friday evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 3:50am EST; Wednesday morning (for 2.5 hours); Friday morning (almost 10 hours); and Sunday night (for almost 6 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 18th:
Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 3:50am EST. Until then, if you are awake, “busy” feels good, as does connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way.
You may also need to make some adjustments; as best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
Monday at 3:50am EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.
Self-care is key for the next two days! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.
Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday early morning, a Mercury/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 3:55am EST. We started to feel this aspect build Friday early morning (Nov. 15th); it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Nov. 21st). This opposition asks us to balance what we think we need to learn or share against our desire to expand our current perspective or life philosophies.
On the one hand, we seek new perspectives and approaches regarding information exchanges, learning, and teaching — and on the other hand, we want to explore our minds and confer with others to see what’s possible when we zoom out and see the bigger picture.
Learning more about our own beliefs or biases when interacting with others can be a powerful driver of personal growth right now.
Ask yourself: How open can I allow myself to be towards my own thinking processes, narratives, and beliefs? What might I observe if I remained curious about their origins?
Something to be aware of: We may get self-righteous and favor being “right” over being happy.
What might happen if I ascribed 5% less meaning and importance to any of my thoughts or beliefs? Could I allow myself to experiment with this until Nov. 21st?
We generally feel optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach — perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating.
We might be inclined to exaggerate and then have difficulty putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be hilarious and interesting at this time …
Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways, perhaps by asking ourselves: How might learning something new and exploring something beyond my typical daily interactions impact my thinking? If I stepped way back from “the canvas”, what “bigger picture” would I see?
Impatience could likely be a side-effect of this aspect as well… Take an “observer” position toward your mind as best as you can: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking!
Listening can be an art form that provides access to our inner wisdom, so do your best to practice listening to yourself, others, and your nervous system.
I should also mention here, that Mercury and Jupiter are in a mutual reception with each other, so they do support each other’s agenda. Watch this brief video here to hear more about the mutual reception.
Mercury last aligned with Jupiter in early June (in Gemini). Think back to that time: what began in early June? What seeds were planted? What new perspectives or approaches did you take in your interactions with others?
What has developed since? What life philosophies could support you in moving beyond where you were in early June?
In other words, what has emerged since June regarding your approaches to mental stimulation or exchanges? How about teaching or learning something that supports your own or other people’s self-growth?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this opposition more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).
Monday evening, a harmonious Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 9:07pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday early morning (Nov. 16th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Nov. 21st).
This aspect could be tremendously supportive when it comes to dissolving what no longer serves us — especially anything that relates to traumas from the past and fears that keep us stuck or disconnected from others or that simply keep us from a fully passionate life.
Our intuition, imagination, and inspiration seem “zeroed in”. We go beyond “tolerance” to lovingly embrace differences in others and give where it’s needed with open hearts and hands. This also feeds into any creative and spiritual endeavors that start around this time.
Ask yourself: what am I ready to release that has kept me from living a passionate life? Who am I ready to forgive? Do I make it onto that list?
What if forgiveness wasn’t even a requirement? What if I could simply move on because I understand the power of acceptance and compassion towards myself and others?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 24-29 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer, or 0 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries, or Leo? 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 Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).

Will You Choose “Quick” Over “Quality”?
This week’s headline items: Saturn remains exalted all week, coming to a halt on Friday late morning at almost 13º of Pisces to end its 4.5-month Retrograde phase; Venus changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Monday afternoon; the Full Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Friday late afternoon; Pluto enjoys its very last days in Capricorn before changing signs next Tuesday.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 13 minutes), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 9 minutes), Saturday early morning (for 6 minutes), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 4.5 hours).

We discussed November’s energies and how to prepare for the last Mercury Retrograde of the year!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 11th:
Monday is quite the day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. It will journey there until tonight/Tuesday very early morning (Nov. 11th/12th). This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that 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 an excellent time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”.
Monday morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 6:08am EST. We started to feel this aspect build Sunday morning (Nov. 10th); it will remain strong until Tuesday morning (Nov.12th).
This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed to see what needs adjusting.
This aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward more profound, more authentic emotional connections with others and ourselves; the other leads to a greater understanding of our mind and how our mental exchanges with others determine our understanding of life.
There isn’t a single “correct path,” as both routes can lead to a deeper understanding of the themes at hand. However, no matter which direction you choose, it’s essential to remain open-minded throughout the journey. This is particularly important if you find yourself becoming overly enthusiastic with others, as it may hinder your ability to think clearly.
Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.
Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 18-21 degrees of Scorpio or Gemini? 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 Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).
Monday at 1:26pm EST, Venus changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec. 6th/7th.
With this placement, our relationships tend to be more practical: We see people for who they are and are not afraid to lay the facts on the table; we take things more seriously.
We take our time warming up to others, appreciate maturity in relationships, and can make long-term commitments. There is a strong focus on business relationships.
Venus is also connected to finances and what we value; it’s thus a perfect time to get serious and make long-term plans in these areas: As best as you can, get real about what comes in and what goes out.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more serious and focused for the next 3.5 weeks; your heart will want to make practical, attainable long-term plans. If you are a Capricorn Sun or Rising sign, as long as Venus is in your sign, you will attract more love, abundance, and beauty.
Monday late afternoon, a somewhat challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:41pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build Sunday afternoon (Nov. 10th); it will remain strong until Tuesday afternoon (Nov.12th).
This aspect also 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 to see what needs adjusting.
We may feel an internal dilemma around our ability to get things done — due to a drop in our self-confidence and self-esteem.
This could lead to us “hiding out,” leaving us feeling guilty, which leads to our behaving in weird ways — and we end up thinking, “Did I really just do that?”
As best as you can, be kind and compassionate with yourself — forgive yourself for having a human moment — this will support your healing process.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-21 degrees of Scorpio or Aries? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules of Leo).
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 1:13am EST, we enter a very brief Moon VoC that will last for 13 minutes, until 1:26am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be guided by inspiration and fully commit to a project or task that might serve you long-term.
As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart that stir you towards success.
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.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 1:26am EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and enthusiastic about new projects.
Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately.
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.
If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Release Anything That Keeps You Small
This week’s headline items: although Mars has moved into Leo, its opposition to Pluto remains strong all week. On Wednesday, it’s time to act on our New Moon Intentions, and Saturn in Pisces starts to slow down (station) again, getting ready to end its 4.5-month Retrograde phase. Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Thursday morning; the first Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on very early Saturday; and finally, Saturn’s Station intensifies on Sunday.
Please remember that Daylight Savings Time has ended! We are all back in sync (except maybe Arizona? :-))
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for almost 5 hours), Thursday late afternoon (20 minutes), and Saturday evening (just over 3.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, November 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until late 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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 than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page. Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday early afternoon, a harmonious Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 12:36pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build Friday morning (Nov. 1st); it will remain strong until Thursday late morning (Nov. 7th). Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart’s desires and our emotional needs right now.
We face life on life’s terms and feel up to doing so (especially regarding inner knowing and intimate connections).
Ask yourself: What might become possible if I surrounded my long-term plans with 5% more intuitive and passionate self-expression?
We can also bring a more mature approach to feeling empowered and whole by embracing all we are and releasing anything that keeps us small (fears, past traumas, emotional attachments, etc.)
How might a supportive “inner parent” help us become more whole and empowered? How might taking a more realistic and practical approach to our intuitive connection to all of life help us feel empowered and whole?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-16 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If any of those are true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect.
Monday late afternoon, we might want to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart to renew our enthusiasm for life. We can be compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best. (Moon in Sagittarius trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 3:44pm EST)

A Deep Focus on Self-Care & Emotional Authenticity
This week’s headline items: even though it will not be exact until Sunday, Nov. 3rd, we can feel the Mars-Pluto opposition all week; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Monday early morning; the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Friday morning; Mercury changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Saturday afternoon; and Mars changes signs from Cancer to Leo late Sunday evening.
Please note that Daylight Savings Time ended in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning (Oct. 27th) but will continue in the US until early this Sunday (Nov. 3rd)!
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for 36 minutes), Thursday early afternoon (for 32 minutes), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 28 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know that…
Next week, at 8am on Friday, Nov. 8th, I will appear again on the Soulivity Today Podcast/Radio show with the lovely Brian W Johnson.
==> SAVE THE DATE so you can join us for an interesting “Hot Astrology with Sonja” conversation about the last Mercury Retrograde phase of the year and how to prepare for it.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 28th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until very early Tuesday, 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 around 4am EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 20.5 degrees of Virgo. This lasts until Friday morning, when the New Moon in Scorpio becomes exact (more on that later this week… however, feel free to watch my video on the subject here — it will be posted by Monday, Oct. 28th in the evening at the latest).
We are being asked to slow down and get quiet so we can listen to our intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tension.
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 morning, a harmonious Mars/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 8:31am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning (Oct. 21st) on; it will remain strong until Nov. 5th.
This aspect brings the ability to endow what we feel passionate about with our creativity — and connect it to a higher love. Our masculine energies can connect to compassion and understanding.
We can now release past issues; through loving ourselves, we can release emotional blockages and the lower vibrations of the masculine: aggression, domineering, destructiveness, and me-first attitudes.
As this aspect is taking place in Cancer and Pisces, we are connecting to our goals and dreams from an emotional place that is deeply spiritual.
We are more able to let go of our fears and attachments and can have faith that everything will turn out just as it needs to.
Ask yourself: Is there anything I can release from my past that no longer serves me? How has anger shown up in my life? Could I allow the part of me that feels anger to be embraced and accepted?
Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio, or 0-1 degrees of Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius will be touched in a particularly beautiful way by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Pisces (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday late morning, a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 9:35am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (Oct. 25th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Oct. 30th).
This aspect asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we’ve known ourselves up to this point — a process of maturing that requires us to adjust and stay flexible.
On the one hand, we want to connect in a more external, fast-paced way, exploring life and expanding our horizons.
On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to be authentic about our intuitive connection to life and learn what works and what doesn’t when it comes to this inner spiritual journey.
This may involve looking for practical applications of our connection to Source or one-consciousness and determining what’s realistic.
This aspect provides an excellent foundation for fulfilling our dreams and supports our interconnectedness with all beings. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.
We tend to be more cautious regarding relationships and finances now — and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship.
Financially, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.
The key here is to approach both in a spirit that combines authenticity and maturity rather than attachment to a certain outcome.
Pushing will most likely not get us what we want — better to go one slow and steady step at a time, so we can come back later (if needs be) with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-16 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo, or Gemini? 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 Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).
Monday at 11:54pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for 36 minutes, until 12:30am EDT (Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to empower each other around earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.
Your attention to detail is enhanced; you might implement new health routines or other systems that support your long-term goals.
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 late evening/night ahead of time.

Some Things Cannot Be Directed or Controlled
This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted all week; the Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Tuesday evening; Jupiter ends its Station phase on Wednesday; the last Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact Thursday early morning and Eclipse Season finally ends that same day. Lastly, on Saturday & Sunday we will have a Yod aspect with Mercury in Scorpio as the Focal Point.
Please note that Daylight Savings Time ends in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning (Oct. 27th) but continues in the US until Nov. 3rd!
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late afternoon (for 50 minutes), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 37 minutes), and Saturday early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 21st:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 6:50pm EDT. Until then, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead …
Monday at 5pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for 50 minutes, until 6:50pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect one-on-one, collaborate, and exchange information.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time.
Monday at 6:50pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.
Self-care is key for the next two days! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.
Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 2:35am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday morning (Oct. 20th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday early morning (Oct. 24th).
This aspect helps us to come from a place of integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans that help us better understand our interconnectivity with life and the cosmos.
We get to the point with no wasted time or words. Looking to build solid, truthful foundations for our current spiritual journey, we speak our divine truth and temper it with intuitive caution and moderation.
The reality of our spiritual connections gets clearer, and our thought processes are better aligned with what feels truly empowering to us.
It is important for us to think about what works (and what doesn’t) on a daily basis when it comes to building this alliance with life and the cosmos, so we can remain connected to our true intuitive knowing.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 10-16 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn? If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 14th:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day; it will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that 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 an excellent 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, a challenging Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:15am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (Oct. 8th) on; it will last until Sunday morning (Oct. 20th). This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.
This aspect might stir up impatience and frustration when things don’t line up perfectly right away, particularly around family or home.
We may feel compelled by an instinctual desire to “do something”, but it’s important to maintain a balanced approach and strive for fair exchanges. Otherwise, our impulsive actions could lead to unnecessary arguments or leave us feeling stuck and unproductive.
Our reactions may be defensive or competitive, and we may not be willing to compromise or negotiate. Focus on nurturing your emotional well-being, and be mindful of your energy levels, being sure to get plenty of rest.
Ask yourself: Am I exhausting myself? What is my body telling me? If it had its own voice, what might it say it needs right now? Could I let go of any fearful or impulsive actions and focus instead on my emotional well-being as I interact with others?
On the subject of Mars, just a gentle reminder: The Early Bird Special for this week’s Forecasting Forum ends TODAY at midnight EDT! We will be discussing the current and upcoming Mars transits in relation to your birth chart.
==> Register to join us live on Wednesday at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT/10pm London time, or register to receive the mp4-video presentation!
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-25° of Libra, Cancer, Aries, 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 Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)
Monday evening, a Venus/Uranus opposition becomes exact at 6:22pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build Saturday morning (Oct. 12th); it will last until Thursday morning (Oct. 17th). This opposition calls us to balance “togetherness” with “having our space”.
We may find that we disagree with others. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (and react) impulsively towards others — or in connection with our finances.
Try your best not to put all your money on one horse just because it has a funny name or elope with a random hottie.
We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible. Do not get a facelift or any kind of beauty treatment that has the potential to go horribly wrong. I’m not kidding.
If there were a way to fully express our individuality in our relationships without needing to pull or push away… what might that way be?
Could you shake things up a little without being oppositional or offensive? Where might the balance between “togetherness” and “having my space” lie?
Where is the point of difference between your values and those of other people? If “objectivity’ had a role in all of this, what might that role be?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? 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 Taurus, Libra, or Aquarius, given that Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius.

Going Deeper, Trusting, and Connecting from the Heart
This week’s headline items: Jupiter and Pluto’s Station phases will be intensified all week, and Eclipse Season likewise continues all week. Jupiter comes to a halt in Gemini on Wednesday early morning; Mars squares April 8th’s Solar Eclipse degree on Wednesday evening; the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Pluto comes to a halt in Capricorn on Friday evening; on Sunday, we have a big day astrologically speaking: Mercury will square Pluto right before changing signs from Libra to Scorpio, and Mars will be the Focal Point of a T-Square involving the Sun in Libra and Chiron in Aries.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday very early morning (for almost 4 hours), Friday late morning (for 38 minutes), and Sunday late morning (for nearly 6 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder:
Our next Forecasting Forum is coming up next Wednesday, Oct. 16th, at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT/10pm London time, titled: “Mars – Trouble or Action?” We will investigate Mars’ upcoming transits and pre-Shadow phase in Cancer/Leo ==> Register for this month only here
Mars is associated with the internal masculine archetype — things like self-assertion, physical energy, taking action, and going after what we desire. It rules our instinctual nature and thus connects us to aggression, anger, survival, and sexual desire. The Red Planet can also show us where we are prone to being impulsive, rash, impatient, and violent.
Since 2019, Mars has been linked to the Wounded Healer, focusing on healing collective and individual masculine wounds. We’re encouraged to heal ancestral trauma related to masculinity and establish a more balanced, compassionate connection.
To learn more about this humbling process and how the upcoming Mars transits will impact you…

Early Bird Special ends on Oct. 14th at midnight EDT!

We will also talk about Mars in our next SoulivityToday Podcast/Radio Show: “Hot Astrology with Sonja” this coming Friday, Oct. 11th at 8am ==> Feel free to join Brian and me for a lovely conversation about this masculine energy.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 7th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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 than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page. Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday late evening, we are invited to stretch and grow. Our commitment to spiritual self-mastery and being in the present moment calls us to adjust to the outer world.
Ask yourself: What might be a creative way to stay connected to others and committed to connecting to my intuitive knowing? (Moon in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces, exact at 10:50pm EDT)
We will also start to feel a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect that will be exact tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6:22am EDT. This aspect started to build last Thursday night (Oct. 3rd/4th); it will remain strong until this Saturday morning (Oct. 12th).
We tend to feel passionate, highly creative, and energized now, with lots of vitality and warmth to share.
We can actively bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit. That’s not surprising, considering we radiate charm, vitality, and enthusiasm — we find it easy to get along with both sexes.
This combo gives us a feeling of flow around intimate connections with others and healing past issues. Going deeper, trusting, and connecting from the heart comes easier now.
Ask yourself: If I knew I could now more comfortably address something from the past, what would I address? Are there any relationships I want to investigate?
There is also a certain amount of flow regarding creativity and athletic abilities, so ask: If I knew I could accomplish something now with ease, what would I pick?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Scorpio, Cancer, 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 Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, and Mars rules Aries)

Practice Listening to Others & Yourself
This week’s headline items: Jupiter and Pluto both remain exalted all week long. We are at the height of Eclipse Season — on Monday afternoon, we enter the 48-hour period before Wednesday afternoon’s Solar Eclipse, and that evening, Mercury moves over the Solar Eclipse degree, activating the Eclipse energy two days before the actual event — and Friday afternoon, we can finally start to set our Solar Eclipse intentions. Very early on Saturday, Mars enters its pre-Shadow phase, and Pluto’s Station phase intensifies — and Jupiter’s Station phase does likewise, only a day later, on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for 41 minutes), Friday morning (for 42 minutes), and Sunday evening (for 42 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, I just wanted you to know that…
It’s not too late to get the scoop on the upcoming Solar Eclipse. I have three things I can offer you:
- My SoulivityToday Podcast/Radio show, where we briefly looked at Brian’s chart in relationship to the Eclipse
- My Solar Eclipse video, where I share in great detail what it’s all about, including lots of Coaching questions that can support you with this energy over the next 5.5 months
- My latest webinar: “Eclipses – Our Soul’s Journey Continues”, where I go into more detail about how both Eclipses impact each of us personally, looking at several Astrology charts and giving you an in-depth experience. And this 111-minute webinar is also currently available at a discount!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Sept. 30th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day;it will journey there until Tuesday evening, 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 early evening, a Sun/Mercury alignment in almost 8 degrees of Libra becomes exact at 5:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (Sept. 27th) on; it will remain strong until Friday morning (Oct. 4th). This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life.
Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.
Ask yourself: might it serve me to practice listening to others and myself? What might a practice like this look like? What if I acted as if I was being 100% heard by others? What if I returned the favor?
Given that this alignment takes place in Libra, we may feel particularly collaborative, polite, justice-driven — and perhaps a bit conflict-averse — do your best to avoid wanting everyone’s approval and perfect harmony.
We want an active role in communications — it’s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now.
What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?
Our opinions are strong and our thinking independent — and we’re proud of both — so our egos may get bruised if we don’t feel “heard”. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion, and that’s okay.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini, or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)
Monday from 2:49pm EDT on: 48 hours before and after an Eclipse, the energy downloads are at their most potent, so be kind to yourself for the next four days, and stay as grounded as possible, no matter what you experience.
Remember: this is an opportunity to get to the next level of your evolution! Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse if you haven’t seen it yet.
Monday around 6pm EDT, Mercury reaches 10 degrees and 04 minutes of Libra and aligns with the degree of Wednesday’s Solar Eclipse.
This might trigger some conversations connected to someone else in our lives; any such conversations must be addressed over the next 5.5 months.
Look out for messages, information, or signs related to your one-on-one relationships or collaborations, and seek ways to achieve more balance.
The key here is to heighten awareness of two things:
First, how can you be open to receiving those messages and signs around your Soul’s journey and whatever is next for you?
Second: What messages are you receiving today might help you better understand your one-on-one relationships or interactions with others? What needs to be released or redefined?

Connect To Your Inner Truth
This week’s headline items: the last Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Monday afternoon; Jupiter starts to slow down (aka “station”) on Wednesday, preparing to start its 4-month Retrograde phase; on Thursday, Pluto starts to slow down again, preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase; Mercury changes signs from Virgo to Libra early Thursday morning; lastly, the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Saturday late morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday morning (for almost 3 hours), Thursday evening (for 35 minutes), and Saturday late evening (for a little over 6 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please keep in mind that…
We are currently in Eclipse Season, which lasts until Oct. 24th. We are between two eclipses: first, the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces-Virgo, which occurred on Sept. 17th/18th and will be in effect until Oct. 17th; and second, the Solar Eclipse in Libra, which will occur on Oct. 2nd. We will feel its effects until the next Solar Eclipse in late March 2025.
Feel free to get/watch my webinar: “Eclipses — Our Soul’s Journey Continues…”
==> Right now, available at a discount! <==
“Thank you Sonja, we always leave your classes/session feeling replenish and renewed. Insightful information always” — Julienne A.
- How can you best use Eclipse Season between now and Oct. 24th, 2024?
- What will you discover about your Soul’s Journey and relationship issues from the past?
- How will these planetary shifts impact people with planets or points/angles in Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, Libra, Aries, or Capricorn?
- Do you have a Sun-sign or Rising sign in Leo or Cancer?
“Thanks so very much, Sonja — lots of revelations! Will be listening to this over more than once!” ❤️ — Meredith D.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Sept. 23rd:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; it will journey there until next Tuesday late morning.
Until then, we like to learn, connect, and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead …
Monday morning, we are invited to stretch and grow. Our commitment to spiritual self-mastery, towards being in the present moment, calls us to make some adjustments with the outer world.
Ask yourself: What might be a creative way to stay connected to others and committed to practicing trusting my intuitive knowing? (Moon in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces, exact at 7:58am EDT)
Monday evening, we have a tendency to think big and maybe feel a bit scatterbrained or at least have a restless mind. Our desire to share and gather information is quite strong.
We see lots of opportunities and want to move on them fast. Patience is probably not at the top of our list. However, optimism is quite strong. (Moon in Gemini conjuncts Jupiter, exact at 6:39pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we may want to consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially regarding personal goals and passions.
Ask yourself: what if a compassionate approach towards myself and others made for more fulfilling connections?(Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 8:45pm EDT).

Unorthodox Approaches To Life’s Challenges
This week’s headline items: Eclipse Season is ongoing; a powerful Super Full Moon that forms the first of two Eclipses will be exact late Tuesday evening; there will be lots of planetary action on Saturday and Sunday; the Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Sunday morning — marking the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere — and Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio later that day.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 4.5 hours), Wednesday early morning (for 22 minutes), Friday early morning (for 24 minutes) and Sunday morning (for 10 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
Our next Forecasting Forum is coming up this Wednesday, Sept. 18th, at 1pm EDT/6pm London — we will cover the upcoming Solar Eclipse in 10º of Libra.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Sept. 16th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 5:39am EDT. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.
Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday very early morning at 1:04am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 4.5 hours, until 5:39am EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions.
You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need to connect with like-minded people and remain objective; on the other hand, a desire to make space for pursuing your financial vision — and breaking free from outdated value systems.
You may have to address what you value, both in others and in yourself (which informs self-worth); again, as best as you can, use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
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 early morning at 5:39am EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.
We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But that 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 an excellent 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.
Neptune is the ruler of Pisces — and it is currently in its own sign, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our inner spiritual connection to our “higher Self”, “Source”, or “God/Goddess”.
It’s also a great time to allow all that is, as it is, and go with the flow, following our intuitive voice as much as possible. We are being asked to tap into the “feminine” energies within ourselves so we can start to vibrate on a universal frequency.
Ask yourself: Is my “Higher Self” asking for more introverted/inner love time? If I tune in with my intuitive voice, what am I receiving? Sensing?
Where in my life have I become too disconnected from life? Love? God/Goddess? What is my connection to the spiritual realm? What about the “heart realm”? How could nature and animals teach me about those realms?
Do I need more downtime? More resting time? More compassion? How might being kind to myself and trusting the process of Life create a more loving connection with the universe?
This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the very powerful Super Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (exact late Tuesday evening). Feel free to watch my Member’s Lunar Eclipse video or read some or all of my Lunar Eclipse article on the subject here.
Apropos Lunar Eclipse, just a gentle reminder: The Early Bird Special for this week’s Forecasting Forum ends TODAY at midnight EDT! We will be discussing the Eclipses, in relationship to your own birth chart.
==> Register to join us live on Wednesday at 1pm EDT/6pm London time, or register to receive the mp4-video presentation!
Monday early evening, a Venus/Chiron opposition becomes exact at 5:29pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday morning (Sept. 14th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday early morning (Sept.19th).
This opposition asks us to create a balance between the healing process of our masculine energies and our various one-on-one relationships.
We may feel insecure around others at this time; we must first heal our own deep fears of not being “good enough”, learn to love ourselves — and then see how we can meet our partners halfway.
As best as you can, bring the gift of compassion, understanding, and forgiveness to your own insecurities or feelings of unworthiness — then gift that to others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-26 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer, or Capricorn? 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 or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).

Are You Overextending Yourself?
This week’s headline items: Uranus will remain exalted until Friday; Eclipse Season is ongoing; very early on Monday, Mercury will once again change signs from Leo to Virgo; the first Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact Tuesday night, and Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase Wednesday evening; Uranus will end its Station phase on Friday (although it will remain in retrograde).
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for 15 minutes), Wednesday evening (for a little over 2 hours), and Saturday very early morning (for 18 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder:

Now, this week’s Forecast:
Monday, Sept. 9th:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 1:26pm EDT. Emotional authenticity is essential to us now; we might perceive anything less than 100% emotional honesty as flat-out dishonest.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our power. It does so through subtraction, encouraging us to let go of whatever disempowers us. As such, it is an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.
Monday very early morning at 2:50am EDT, Mercury changes signs from fun and attention-loving Leo into detail-oriented, practical Virgo again. Mercury will journey through the sign of Virgo until Sept. 26th — and note that due to its earlier Retrograde phase (in August), the planet also passed through this sign between July 25th and August 14th.
Mercury in Virgo sharpens our thinking: We see clearly and are more inclined to direct our energy toward day-to-day, practical matters.
Creating order in our daily lives, knowing what’s coming next, organizing, planning on a short-term scale, and doing errands will become easier. This contrasts our ability to go with the flow, be present, and have faith that things will turn out well, no matter what: not so easy …
We may feel we do things better than others, denying them a chance to improve their skills or show us a different method.
As best as you can, be of service to others — and remember that perfection is lovely when we approach it as a progressive journey and a tyrant when we set it as a rigid goal. What if you aimed at continuous improvements rather than a frozen “perfect”?
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the need for organization and improvements more strongly.
Monday at 1:11pm EDT, we enter a brief 15-minute Moon VoC that runs until 1:26pm EDT. Use this intuitive time 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 instead deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world.
You can now become fully committed to a project or task that might serve you long-term.
As always with a Moon VoC, don’t start anything brand-new. Stick to routine things, or go with the flow as far as possible. You may also want to plan ahead of time for Monday afternoon.
Monday at 1:26pm EDT, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late 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 — and we’re also physically restless and must 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 than issue or obey orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page. Improvisation works well for us now, 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 Gemini, making this a great time to explore our thoughts and ability to process and share information.
As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your ability to listen, learn, teach, or write— and to get excited about sharing and staying connected with others.
Ask yourself: What road might lead to a closer connection to others? How might listening more closely or carefully be a part of that?
What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards my inner dialog? What do I think about? What don’t I think about?
Use this time to embrace your mind and its intellectual capacities and put them to good use, sharing, listening, keeping an open mind, and especially seeking connection — rather than building separation.
When you stay open-minded and flexible in life and with others, you create spaciousness and fluidity! What you think is true will be true for you. What you don’t think is true will be true, too.
This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning).
