Add a Dash of Love, Gratitude & Joy
This week’s headline items: Chiron remains exalted all week; Mercury remains in its pre-Shadow phase all week (and changes signs from Leo to Virgo on Thursday evening); Chiron comes to a halt late on Friday morning, starting its 5-month retrograde phase; the last Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact late on Saturday evening; also on Saturday, Mercury starts its Station phase, preparing for its 3-week Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for almost 3.5 hours), Thursday late morning (for 21 minutes), and Friday evening (for a little over 19 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
We have another Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Astrology Friday” this week!
It will be live on Friday, July 26th, at 8am EDT via YouTube or Soulivity.com. OR 8am PT in California via KMET Radio.
Brian and I will talk about the upcoming Mercury Retrograde phase in Virgo/Leo ==> join us live or watch the replay if you want to hear more about that….
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 22nd:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late morning.
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.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, innovative methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space — and personal freedom becomes paramount.
Monday early morning at 3:44am EDT, the Sun changes sign from protective, nurturing Cancer to fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Aug. 22nd. With the Sun in Leo, we are more inclined to connect to our hearts and follow our joy: it’s a great time for gratitude, compliments, and playfulness.
In many ways, happy children embody the best of the Leo qualities: they are creative, playful, self-expressed, and follow their hearts. Who could you be if you lived from your “inner child” more fully for the next four weeks?
If you have a Leo Sun-sign or Rising-sign, this means strong vitality for you — after all, for some of you, this is your birthday month. Happy Birthday! <3
Monday early morning, we are invited to have fun and to connect with like-minded people. Do your best to find a balance between your need for a cause that changes the future for some (or many), and your desire to connect from the heart and joyfully express yourself with others.
What needs your appreciation when it comes to relating, connecting with others, and honoring yourself? (Moon in Aquarius opposes Venus in Leo, exact at 5:39am EDT)
Monday late evening presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress (Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 10:44pm EDT)

Think Different, Act Different
This week’s headline items: Chiron remains exalted (stations) all week; Neptune ends its Station phase on Tuesday; Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase very early Wednesday; Chiron’s station intensifies on Saturday; Mars changes signs from Taurus to Gemini late Saturday afternoon; the second Full Moon in Capricorn within a 30-day period becomes exact early Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for 15 minutes), Friday early morning (16 minutes), and Sunday morning (17 minutes)
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…
Join us on Friday, July 19th, at 1pm EDT/6pm London time for my next Forecasting Forum! The Early Bird Special ends on Wednesday at midnight EDT!
Please note that we’ll take a look at Mercury’s & Chiron’s Station phases, which start July 14th & 27th (and last until Aug. 9th & 13th). We will also talk about Mercury’s Shadow phases and its second Retrograde phase of the year in Leo/Virgo.
So, if you want to know how these planetary shifts will impact you personally, join me live on July 19th or sign up to receive the mp4-video presentation.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 15th:
Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late evening. Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest.
Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever — as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. 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.
The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. It can, therefore, be stormy — a cold winter storm or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies.
Monday early morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 4:57am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday morning (July 14th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday morning (July 16th). This will contribute either to a lack of mental energy or a need to focus more inwardly.
This aspect operates more internally: We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward, and we must make a choice.
The sheer scope of our goals in life can require more effort than is immediately apparent. Hard work can take its toll on our mental health. If we partition our big ideas into achievable segments — and go one clear action step at a time — we can move forward while maintaining inner peace and outer health.
Use your time wisely! Develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.
Could you let go, just for now, of wanting to rank things in order? Could you let go, just for now, of wanting to be in control? Wanting to know what’s next? Might slowing down and turning inward give you the solution that you are looking for?
Might it be possible that showing gratitude towards others and opening your heart might lead to less stress or pressure?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-20 degrees of Leo or Pisces? 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 Virgo, Gemini, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Saturn rules Capricorn).
Monday morning, a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday morning (July 12th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday late morning (July 18th). This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within.
We might feel less confident about who we are and have a hard time projecting a social “front”. Our conditioning and wounded sense of Self may be out of harmony with each other.
As best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or “less than”. It is perfectly ok to be yourself and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 20-27 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).
Monday late morning, a Mars/Uranus alignment in 26º of Taurus becomes exact at 10:05am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday early morning (July 11th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday early morning (July 20th).
This connection brings a lot of nervous energy with it: we will most likely feel sudden spurts of energy moving through our bodies; this could make us rash in thought and deed. We may experience sudden insights about ourselves and our valued goals.
Ask yourself: Might a deep breath into my belly calm my nervous system? What might it look like to consciously break away from situations that have limited me when it came to honoring myself and my talents? Where could I channel my courage?
Where do I need to “think different”? Act different?
Our willingness to innovate is strong with this alignment: new ways of seeing, using, and approaching our personal possessions, valuables, money, and talents are in focus.
It takes courage to try something new and different. Ask yourself: What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who honors and loves themselves and has the courage to have different values from others?
This alignment between Uranus and Mars also asks us to break away from anything keeping us from honoring our uniqueness and quirks — whatever keeps us in a rut, collectively and individually.
Please be extra conscious when driving. Do your best to channel the extra energy in a productive way: physical exercise is great for this, as is consciously breaking away from situations that have limited you — up until now.
And (this is always wise)… As best as you can, stay grounded and keep breathing …
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? 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 Aries or Aquarius (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

A Potential Turning Point
This week’s headline items: Neptune remains exalted all week; the Sun squares the Solar Eclipse degree from April 8th on Wednesday night; on Thursday, it’s time to take action on our New Moon intentions. Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Thursday afternoon; the last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Saturday evening; Chiron starts to slow down (station) on Sunday — it’s getting ready for its yearly Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for 11 minutes), and Saturday evening (for a little over 16 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 8th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day; it will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness.
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things; be honest and authentic as best you can.
Monday morning, an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 7:04am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (July 6th); it will remain strong until early Wednesday (July 10th). It gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others — to do something different or unusual — freedom plays a big part in this aspect.
Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time — it’s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.
We’re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings — good places to look: all things “tech” (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.
This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments — except perhaps those that come to you in an intuitive flash.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity, as will 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 late morning, an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 10:26am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build on Saturday evening (July 6th); it will remain strong until Wednesday early morning (July 10th).
This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism — we share what’s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.
This connection also allows an expansion from stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo.
This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and expanding our perspectives. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more “philosophical” and open to learning.
As with any opportunity, we have to “take” it — it requires we take action. What could you do to instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is a new mental process asking to be explored? Are you ready to expand your mind? Your thinking?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-12 degrees of Leo, Gemini, Aries, or Libra? 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Source Your Energy From Within
This week’s headline items: Neptune remains exalted all week; the Balsamic Moon phase begins very early Tuesday; Neptune comes to a halt early Tuesday morning, starting its yearly Retrograde phase in Pisces; Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo late Tuesday morning; the New Moon in Cancer will be exact on Friday evening, and Saturn ends its Station phase that same evening (remaining retrograde).
There will be three very brief Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for 7 minutes), Thursday late afternoon (for 7 minutes), and Saturday late evening (for 9 minutes).
Before we dive in, I just wanted to share…
Sam and I had an amazing One Day Retreat on Saturday! It was beautiful, moving, and magical. We posted some photos on Instagram… so feel free to check those out and say hello!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, July 1st:
Monday, the Moon remains steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.
In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late morning? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday early afternoon, we are invited to take care of anything that has value for us on a physical level.
Ask yourself: what actions could I take this afternoon that would be in alignment with my physical desires and needs? What practical actions would energize my body and bank account?
As best as you can, honor yourself, your talents, and physical matter in general. (Moon in Taurus conjuncts Mars, exact at 12:19am EDT)
Monday afternoon, we have an opportunity to connect with family and loved ones in a nurturing way — and, indeed, to connect with all of them from the heart.
Ask yourself: What might become possible if I let myself enjoy others in the mutual pursuit of any shared values? What if I were open to receiving practical support as well as giving it? (Moon in Taurus sextiles Venus in Cancer, exact at 2:42pm EDT)
Monday evening, we have an opportunity to focus on the subtle and the essential — and achieve flow around material wants and needs.
We are invited to practice a gentler, more intuitive approach, to go within and get in touch with our inner divinity, and to bring peace and inner knowingness to our financial goals and ability to honor ourselves.
Ask yourself: Could I trust my inner knowing (or intuition) 5% more than I have previously? What spiritual practices could support me on this journey inward?(Moon in Taurus sextiles Saturn in Pisces. exact at 5:28pm EDT)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 3:50am EDT, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches almost 26º of Taurus. This Moon phase lasts until Friday evening when the New Moon in Cancer becomes exact (more about this on Friday… In the meantime, feel free to watch my video on the subject)
We are being asked to slow down and get quiet so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch.
As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any 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?
Also, tomorrow (Tuesday), at 6:40am EDT, Neptune comes to a halt at 29º56′ of Pisces to start its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase. This phase lasts until December 7th (at 27º08′ of Pisces).
Until then, we are invited to access Neptune’s energy from within: Our intuition will be very strong during this time.
During this time, we can see how connected we are to our Higher Self/The Universe/Source. What’s more, we have an opportunity to dissolve any barriers between us and our Soul’s guidance.
For the next five months, ask yourself: Am I sensing my Soul’s desire for love and oneness to the fullest? Am I resting enough? Am I connecting to my intuition? Is anything keeping me from experiencing the flow of life?
Neptune will still be exalted until July 16th! For a more comprehensive understanding of Neptune’s Station phase and how this might impact you personally, feel free to get & watch my webinar: “Exalted Neptune & Saturn in Pisces until July!“
Some of us will feel the effects more than others. This is particularly true if you have personal planets in 27-29 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 0-2 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn — and if you have a Pisces Sun- or Rising-Sign. For you, in particular, this is a great time to reevaluate your connection to Source — and perhaps to allow yourself to connect more fully to the flow of life.

Speak Your Divine Truth
This week’s headline items: Neptune and Saturn are both exalted (stationing) all week, and both of their stations intensify this week — Saturn’s Station intensifies on Tuesday, Neptune’s on Thursday; the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact early Friday evening; lastly, Saturn comes to halt on Saturday afternoon, starting its yearly Retrograde phase.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for a little over 7.5 hours), Friday early morning (for 7 minutes), and Sunday very early morning (for 7 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, last chance to join us…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 24th:
Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning.
Monday late morning, we may feel rather social. We get a chance to connect with like-minded people, expand each other’s minds, and share information that allows us to see the bigger picture. Great ideas and concepts can be shared right now. (Moon in Aquarius trines Jupiter in Gemini, exact at 10:52am EDT)
Monday afternoon, 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 have physical and emotional safety and connect with what feels familiar — and on the other hand, the need to make progress and connect to like-minded people about our collective future visions.
This could also extend to personal, practical things vs. social, idealistic visions, and discerning what works now vs. “progress”. Awareness is critical with this aspect: What is needed? And when? How can we take the higher path? (Moon in Aquarius quincunxes Venus in Cancer, exact at 3pm EDT)
Monday evening, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.
Make space for connections with like-minded people, involvement in a cause, as well as aligning with your own values and enjoyment of life. As such, we may have to address what we value — both in others and in ourselves. (Moon in Aquarius squares Mars in Taurus, exact at 6:58pm EDT)

Getting Present in the Here & Now
This week’s headline items: Venus has moved into Cancer — and Mercury joins her there on Monday early morning. Neptune starts to slow down (station) on Tuesday; late Thursday afternoon, the Sun changes signs from Gemini to Cancer — this also marks the yearly Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The Full Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Friday evening; lastly, on Saturday, Saturn also begins to slow down (station).
There will be four brief Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 2:38am EDT, Wednesday early afternoon (for 13 minutes), Friday evening (for 10 minutes), and Sunday late evening (for 9 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, join us…
Wednesday at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT for my next Forecasting Forum! Early Bird Special ends on Monday at midnight EDT!
Please note that we’ll take a look at Neptune and Saturn’s Station phases, both in Pisces, which start June 18th & 22nd (and last until July 5th & 16th).
So, if you want to know how these planetary shifts will impact you personally, join me live on June 19th or sign up to receive the mp4-video presentation.
ALSO – you can still join us on June 29th for our One-Day Retreat in the country: “Breathe in Life” — an exploration of yourself via Astrology, Yoga, Breathwork, Nature, and a chance to connect with like-minded women. For more info or to register, click here
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 17th:
Monday is a huge day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Wednesday early afternoon (June 19th). Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest.
Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. 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 early morning, a challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 3:41am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (June 15th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday morning (June 19th). This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow, which challenges us to get out of our comfort zone and to work through something that requires a creative approach.
In this case, our comfort zone is the mind (Gemini) and our need to be mentally busy and engaged. The challenge here is finding a way to trust our intuition (Pisces) and turn inward for answers and direction.
Ask yourself: What might be possible if I allowed myself to shift from only paying attention to my conditioned mind to getting present in the here and now and feeling into the energy and truth of who I am?
We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now. Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.
Ask yourself: Is it possible that what I understand with the mind is very different from what I comprehend with the heart? And if that is so, could I trust my heart 5% more than I have done previously? Could I allow myself to slow down and rest in knowing that all is well all of the time?
We are more imaginative now and also more easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical.
It can be hard to follow routines or to concentrate on monotonous tasks (like work tasks or studies that involve attention to detail or rote learning); as best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these three days. If you have an important contract to sign or negotiate, if possible, wait until after Wednesday.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo, or 0-3 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn or Libra? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
Apropos Neptune, just a gentle reminder: Early Bird Special for my next Forecasting Forum ends TODAY at midnight EDT! We will be discussing the Neptune & Saturn Station phases in Pisces. Join us live on Wednesday at 5pm EDT/2pm PDT, or register to receive the mp4-video presentation!
Monday at 5:07am EDT, Mercury changes signs from chatty, versatile, curious, quick-witted Gemini to protective, nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It will journey there until July 2nd. During this cycle, we are more sensitive to our surroundings, especially when listening and taking in information.
We also have more sympathy for the suffering of others. On the other hand, we have less objectivity, as emotions are always involved in our interactions with others; this could also mean we end up taking things more personally than we really need to — perhaps even to the extent that we start feeling sorry for ourselves.
As best as you can, remember to ask yourself: Is this really about me?
This is particularly true if you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo. You will feel a stronger need to connect with family or the people in your life that feel familiar and safe. You may also feel the need to talk about the past and work through past conditioning. If you are a Cancer Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will be more chatty for the next 2 weeks.
Monday morning, a Mercury/Venus alignment in 0 degrees of Cancer becomes exact at 8:43am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (June 14th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning (June 20th).
This is an excellent time to share about family, home, real estate, emotional connections, safety, motherhood — or anything we feel nurtures us — and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.
This alignment supports communicating from a nurturing, supportive heart — and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity.
We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity, and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time and want to be around people who share these values.
We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word — literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations — especially when the words are comforting and speak of something familiar, nurturing, or emotionally soothing.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-3 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, Aries, or 27-29 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, Libra, or Taurus (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)
Monday late evening, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (June 16th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (June 18th). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, awkward, and need to make a choice — so we need to develop inner awareness.
Our compulsive side may lead us down a path that evades rational understanding. Our judgments — of circumstances, ourselves, and others — can be so extreme during this aspect that we can’t seem to make intelligent and consistent progress in our life for the two days it is in effect.
As best as you can, strive to be more trusting and less strict with yourself for these two days. Surrender to whatever you are experiencing right now: It is temporary!
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Cancer 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).
See Sunday’s post (June 16th) for details on aspects and planetary movements that took place between midnight and 3am EDT Monday.

Resisting Change?
This week’s headline items: Mars squares Pluto for most of the week (it will be exact on Tuesday morning); the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact Thursday night/Friday very early morning; the Sun aligns with Mercury in Gemini on Friday afternoon; Venus squares Neptune right before she moves from Gemini to Cancer, Sunday night/Monday very early morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for almost 10.5 hours), Friday afternoon (for 18 minutes), and Sunday night/Monday very early morning (for 33 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, join me…
On Friday, June 14th, 8am PT in California via KMET Radio OR 8am ET via YouTube or Soulivity.com, my next Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Astrology Friday” with Brian Westley Johnson, where we will talk about the upcoming Station phases in Pisces ==> join us live or watch the replay if you want to hear more about that….
ALSO, Do you need a day off from the hustle and bustle of the world? Would you like to connect to nature? Nurture yourself? Your Body? Understand your own Moon-energy a bit better? Connect and share this experience with other like-minded women?
Early Bird Pricing for our One-day Yoga/Astrology Retreat ends this week! ==> Whether you live in the Pittsburgh area or would like to come visit Pittsburgh for the weekend of June 29th/30th, check out my Retreat page for more info!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 10th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until very early Wednesday. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …
So, hand out some compliments, let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things and be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
Monday late evening, we have an opportunity to connect with others and have some fun. Find activities that are mentally stimulating, creative, and joyful. What might you want to communicate to express your own individual energy more fully? (Moon in Leo sextiles Mercury in Gemini, exact at 10:35pm EDT)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 3:12am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday morning (June 9th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (June 12th). This is an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.
We get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being “good enough”. Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.
Ask yourself: How might an honest conversation support my healing journey at this time? Who might I want to have such a conversation with?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-25 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo or Aquarius? 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 Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).

Stimulating Conversations
This week’s headline items: we remain in the Balsamic Moon phase until Thursday morning; Mercury changes signs from Taurus to Gemini early Monday; the New Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Thursday morning; Mars changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Saturday night/Sunday very early morning. One more thing worth mentioning: we will start to feel the Mars-Pluto Square from Friday on (it will become exact next week, Tuesday).
Depending on which time zone you live in, there will be three or four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 1:55am EDT; Wednesday early morning (for 27 minutes), Friday morning (25 minutes), and Sunday afternoon (24 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, let me share about two upcoming Podcast/Radio shows:
1 – on Monday, June 3rd, at 3pm PT in Seattle via KIXI 880AM/ and after 6pm ET on Conscious Talk Radio with Brenda Michaels and Rob Spears, where we talk about Astrology and how it can support all of us in our lives ==> Great interview to share with friends or family members that are skeptics (or on the fence) about Astrology.
2 – on Friday, June 14th, 8am PT in California via KMET Radio/8am ET via Youtube or Soulivity.com, my next Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Astrology Friday” with Brian Westley Johnson, where we will talk about the upcoming Station phases in Pisces. So join us if you want to hear more about that….
Both Podcast/Radio shows are also available on Spotify and other major podcast apps.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, June 3rd:
Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 1:55am EDT.
Monday at 1:55am EDT, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.
In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain.
What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
Monday at 3:37am EDT, Mercury changes signs from steady, slow-paced Taurus to curious, quick-witted Gemini, where it will journey until June 17th.
For the next 2 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: Mercury — the energy of communication — will pick up the pace of our lives just a little.
Mental exchanges and abilities take priority for the next two weeks — talking, writing, sharing, connecting to the world around us in whatever way we can (internet, phone, in person, TV, radio…).
This is a time with great potential for studying and learning, curiosity and open-mindedness, and social/intellectual growth.
Make sure you don’t exhaust yourself during this time. As best as you can, keep taking breaks and let yourself see the larger picture now and again.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the pick up in pace more strongly.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:12am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday afternoon (June 2nd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday late morning (June 5th).
Our words are focused, and we speak with depth and gravitas; we can feel really empowered by what we think and say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion help us to connect and empower others.
Ask yourself: How could curiosity and open-mindedness help me connect with others and realize my vision? Might it be useful to release fears and resulting distrust around social groups? Could I hear multiple viewpoints and remain above the fray?
What if a flexible and curious approach to “what’s so” was the first step toward creating a better future for everyone? What if the same was true of learning something about myself? Or some other subject that supports my vision?
We are strongly connected to our vision for the future and can communicate it more clearly to our various social groups and affiliations.
We are also able to investigate our thought structures and motivations in an open-minded, focused way and see what needs to be transformed
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Gemini, Aquarius, Libra or 29 degrees of Taurus, Capricorn, or Virgo? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio).
ALSO, Monday after 6pm EDT listen to our fun Radio Interview on Conscious Talk Radio with Brenda Michaels and Rob Spears, where we talk about Astrology and how it can support all of us in our lives ==> This is a great interview to share with friends or family members who are skeptics or on the fence about Astrology.
This Podcast/Radio shows is also available on Spotify and other major podcast apps.

Are You Moving Toward or Away From Exhaustion?
This week’s headline items: Mars aligns all week with Chiron, the wounded Healer (exact on Wednesday afternoon); the last Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Jupiter trines Pluto all week long, becoming exact on Sunday evening, and the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Sunday late evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for 43 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10 hours), Friday late evening (for 33 minutes), and Sunday evening (for almost 8 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, let me invite you…
I will be doing a One-day Yoga/Astrology Retreat with the lovely Sam Lodge in the country, near Robinson Township, outside of Pittsburgh on Saturday, June 29th. Whether you live in the area or would like to come visit, check out my Retreat page for more info!
==> Sam and I will do an Instagram Live on Friday, May 31st, to answer questions and share about our One Day Retreat; feel free to join us here on Friday around 11:30am EDT to get all the juicy information <==
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, May 27th:
Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, pragmatic, status-oriented Capricorn until 4:45pm EDT. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
As best as you can, 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”
Monday at 4:02pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for only 43 minutes, until 4:45pm EDT. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to soften your need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach.
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 afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 4:45pm EDT, the Moon moves in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday evening (May 29th). 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.
Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, and progress are promoted while the Moon moves through Aquarius.
Again, we have our eyes on the future — or outer space… Personal freedom becomes paramount.
Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius — and this planet is currently moving through Taurus, making these next two days a great time to look at our physical connection to our own body, finances, and whatever is most important to us on this planet.
It’s also a great time to innovate and make changes in our lives around any physical matters that no longer serve us or keep us stuck in the past; we need to elevate our thinking if we want our bodies and the planet to vibrate at a higher frequency.
Ask yourself: Do I need to give my body something different to raise it to a higher vibration? When I tune in to myself, what insights does my body provide?
Where have I become too rigid in connection with my body, my physical resources, or my talents? Where have I become too comfortable with those things? What is my connection to the Earth? To Nature? Do I need more physical space? More physical movement?
Monday late evening, an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 11:22pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early morning (May 26th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday early morning (May 29th). This could be another opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be honest with ourselves.
How can we get the most from this opportunity? Through honest communication, we have a chance to clear up any misunderstandings.
As best as you can, allow yourself to tune in and transcend your conditioned, automatic responses. A good place to start is with a commitment to better understand your conditioning and thought processes.
If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality and an ability to focus on long-term issues.
Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, and Virgo, and Saturn rules Capricorn).

A Sensitive Approach is Recommended
This week’s headline items: the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Monday morning; the Full Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact late Thursday morning; Venus changes signs from Taurus to Gemini late Thursday afternoon, and Jupiter follows the Sun and Venus into Gemini on Saturday evening.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 6:34pm EDT, Thursday very early morning (for 1 hour), and Saturday late morning (for almost 1 hour).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, join me for…
A detailed talk about Jupiter’s one-year Journey through Gemini, on Wednesday, May 22nd at 1pm EDT/6pm London time. What area of your life will experience a shift in perspective until June of 2025?
==> Early Bird Special ends on Monday at midnight EDT! Register here now!
ALSO! We had another wonderful Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Astrology Friday” ==> feel free to watch the replay here
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, May 20th:
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra and VoC until 6:34pm EDT. 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.
Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships — ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection and harmony with my desire for self-fulfillment and independence?
Monday until 6:34pm EDT: we are still moving through a very long Moon VoC phase that started on Sunday at 11:48am EDT. 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 at 8:59am EDT, the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual Taurus to versatile, fast-thinking Gemini, where it will journey until June 20th. With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong.
We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable, and adaptable — which makes us quite social as well.
We enjoy intellectual conversations, and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy.
There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.
All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Gemini Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will most likely speed up, and you feel more chatty than usual.
Monday at 6:34pm EDT, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday morning (May 23rd). Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest.
Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.
The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. 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.
The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies.
Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.
Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.
Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio — and it is currently transiting through Aquarius, making this a great time to transform our visions for humanity and our future on this planet, in this universe — and to empower ourselves and others within our communities (locally or online).
It’s also a great time to dig deeper into our various networks and connections to like-minded people; so as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations. Does participation in your current groups or networks feel empowering or disempowering? Do I feel a deep emotional alignment with like-minded people in my life? Am I allowing myself to hear the deepest calling of my Soul?
Ask yourself: Where am I looking to create more empowerment in my life? What about the lives of others? How might a self-expressed and courageously heartfelt approach serve my communities and foster better collaborations?
Use this time to create deeper, more empowering emotional connections with like-minded people, especially if you are feeling a disconnect with other networks or affiliations out there in the world. Remember: Love expands us, others, and life. Fear paralyzes!

Try Something Radically Different
This week’s headline items: Mercury’s Shadow phase ends early Monday. Pluto’s Station phase finally ends on Tuesday, though Pluto continues in retrograde motion until October; the first Quarter Moon in Leo becomes exact Wednesday morning; Mercury changes signs, moving from Aries to Taurus on Wednesday afternoon; Mars and the North Node align in Aries late Sunday evening.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week, one of them unusually long: Monday early morning (for almost 1.5 hours), Wednesday early afternoon (almost 5 hours), Saturday early morning (a little over 1 hour), and Sunday late morning (almost 31 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, join us…
This coming Friday at 8am EDT, we will have another Soulivity Today Morning Show: “Hot Astrology Friday“. I will be discussing Hot Astrology Topics with the lovely Brian Westley Johnson ==> get notified here so you don’t miss the Show!
**And if you live in California, listen live via KMET Radio (98.1FM/1490AM) at 8am PST!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, May 13th:
Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:36am EDT. 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!
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 around 4:19am EDT, Mercury ends its post-Shadow phase, as it reaches 27º11′ of Aries.
As you may recall, 2.5 weeks ago, on April 25th, when Mercury ended its Retrograde phase, I mentioned the Mercury Shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct.
This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)
The good news is the Shadow phase ends today (Monday). This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets — or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related).
We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing, and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.
Monday early morning at 5:13am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for almost 1.5 hours, until 6:36am EDT. Use this intuitive time to be in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored at this time.
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, a Sun/Uranus alignment in 22 degrees of Taurus becomes exact at 5:14am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 10th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 16th). This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause or similar values.
This is an invitation to radically revise our relationship to the physical plane — from a major reassessment of our core values and sense of worth to how we deal with our money, resources, and the beautiful planet on which we live.
A spiritual shift and a shift in our thinking and perceiving are required — individually speaking and on a collective level! We may have sudden insights into the value of our friendships or networks and how they connect us to a bigger vision.
We seek to move to the next level on the physical plane and must strategize and collaborate with others.
Ask yourself: Where would a new mindset help? What needs to be shaken up? Where do I need to think outside the box and try something radically different?
How might my body inform that shift? How might the planet itself be my guide to shifting my perspectives? My physical frequency?
We are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways.
Our consciousness expands, and we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living — this increased openness to all that is enjoyable and different may bring unexpected opportunities.
Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in Taurus aligned with the Sun asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from honoring ourselves.
It’s time to develop some awareness: What’s mine? What isn’t? What if it were ok to have a different outlook from others? What about different values?
One thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? 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 or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)
Monday at 6:36am EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday early evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can.
Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days.
What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the upcoming first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).
Monday afternoon, an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (May 11th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday early morning (May 15th). This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: we are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.
We have a chance to combine a physical enjoyment of life with heart-centered realism and maturity. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to “take” it.
On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments.
There’s no need to rush anything — instead, tune into your intuitive side and think things through carefully and responsibly — do your “due diligence” and stay open-hearted.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of Taurus, Pisces, 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 Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Our Desire for Peace & Physical Comfort
This week’s headline items: Pluto remains exalted, and Mercury continues to move through its post-Shadow phase all week; a New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday evening — and it’s time to begin acting on our New Moon Intentions on Sunday.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday (begins very early morning and lasts until 5:42pm EDT), Wednesday early evening (for almost 1.5 hours), and Friday late evening (roughly 1.5 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, May 6th:
Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 5:42pm EDT. 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. Use this intuitive time to actively connect with others and share yourself.
Monday early evening at 5:42pm EDT, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.
In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain.
What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.
This Moon placement also starts the build-up to the New Moon (exact on Tuesday evening). Feel free to watch my New Moon video about this new Moon cycle (if you haven’t seen it yet).
Monday late evening, a Mercury/Chiron alignment in 21º of Aries becomes except at 10:27pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (May 2nd) on; it will remain strong until Friday late morning (May 10th). Due to Mercury’s Retrograde phase, we are experiencing this aspect for the third time in 7 weeks.
Think back to March 20th and April 15th, and ask yourself: What did I discover about my human identity or drives at that time? How did I engage with my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being?
Did I experience any triggers? What was I able to communicate about myself and my sensitivities? Was there anything I was not able to share?
This alignment allows us to communicate our flaws, insecurities, and sensitivities and thereby begin to heal them.
Bringing compassion to our past wounds and current sensitivities feels soothing, empowering, and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.
As best as you can, whatever you do or don’t communicate, cut yourself a little slack. Be open to bringing love and understanding to your communications — especially when you are feeling triggered.
Remember: Our past wounding (and ancestral wounding) makes us more sensitive to certain things, and that is why we get triggered
Being human means being “imperfect”; there is no shame in that. Our so-called imperfections open hearts and create and spread compassion, which is precisely what heals everyone’s wounding and sensitivities, including our own.
Ask yourself: Could I give myself 5% more permission to be “imperfect”? Could I acknowledge my sensitivities that stem from past wounding? Could I love myself because of those so-called imperfections and sensitivities?
Double-check: Does blaming or judging myself for being “imperfect” or “overly sensitive” actually serve me? How about when I do that to others? Who is served when I do this?
Could I be open to the possibility that my “imperfections” and sensitivities — whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual — exist to serve not only my personal evolution but also that of humanity? If that were true, what else would need re-evaluating?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo or Gemini (since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, April 29th:
Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, pragmatic, status-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings a need for structure and planning; when you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation will become crucial.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”
Monday at 7:31am EDT, Venus changes signs from independent, fast-paced Aries to sensual, steady Taurus, where she will journey until May 23rd.
For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine, and sensuality.
“Simple and natural” is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we’d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feel especially comforting.
Monday late morning/early afternoon, we have an opportunity to focus on what’s subtle & essential and bring a sense of flow to our long-term goals or plans.
We are invited to practice a gentler, more intuitive approach, to go within, get in touch with our inner divinity, and bring peace and inner knowingness to our long-term commitments.
Ask yourself: Could I trust my inner knowing (or intuition) 5% more than I have previously? What spiritual practices could support me on this journey inward?
What resonates with my inner core? What is realistic and practical? What practices are sustainable for the long haul? What am I being asked to give up, so I can have a stronger connection to my inner guidance?(Moon in Capricorn sextiles Saturn in Pisces, exact at 11:28am EDT)
Monday evening, we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations.
As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key! (Moon in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 6:49pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment.
We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable. (Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 9:49pm EDT)

Monday, April 22nd:
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. 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.

Monday morning, we may need to balance wanting harmony with others against wanting to be direct and share ourselves without apologies. (Moon in Libra opposes Mercury in Aries, exact at 8:10am EDT)
Monday afternoon, we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies — on the one hand, taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals while being assertive in the world — and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others.
Ask yourself: What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?(Moon in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries, exact at 3:54pm EDT)
Monday evening calls for some inner adjustments, as we feel uneasy or awkward and must make a choice.
Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, we want to innovate when it comes to what we value (ourselves included) — and maybe also have some financial breakthroughs; on the other hand, we feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships, supporting them — and perhaps collaborating. (Moon in Libra quincunxes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 7:18pm EDT)
Monday, 7:24pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 16 hours until 11:20am EDT (Tuesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships — ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection and harmony with my desire for self-fulfillment and independence?
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.
Soon after the Moon VoC begins, we need to make some more inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges…
On the one hand, the urge to expand our perspective when it comes to material possibilities and beliefs about our talents & our own value in the world — and on the other hand, we feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships.
The key here is to have a balanced approach and allow for experimentation so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.(Moon in Libra quincunxes Jupiter in Taurus, exact at 7:58pm EDT)
Monday late evening, we are invited to make some more internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to become aware of our intuitive, more creative side. What do you feel/sense when you get really quiet? What actions are calling to you? (Moon in Libra quincunxes Mars in Pisces, exact at 11:51pm EDT)

What Needs to Be Reevaluated?
This week’s headline items: the first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Monday afternoon; Mercury starts to slow down (station) again on Tuesday (preparing to end its 3-week Retrograde phase); on Thursday, Pluto starts to slow down as well – preparing for its yearly Retrograde phase — and “Eclipse Season” comes to an end. The Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus late on Friday morning; finally, a powerful Jupiter-Uranus alignment in Taurus becomes exact late on Saturday evening.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for 3 hours), Thursday morning (for a little over 2 hours), and Saturday evening (for almost 3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, join us…

***Also, there are some Membership changes that went into effect on Jan. 24th with some NEW Membership features and some minor price changes ==> You can watch a brief video OR read about those changes here.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, April 15th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 10:24pm EDT. 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!
Monday late morning, a Mercury/Chiron alignment in 20 degrees of Aries becomes exact at 11:23am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (April. 11th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday morning (April 20th). Due to Mercury’s Retrograde phase we are experiencing this aspect for the second time within the last month.
Think back to March 20th, and ask yourself: What did I discover about my human identity at that time? How did I engage with my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being?
Did I experience any triggers? What was I able to communicate about myself and my sensitivities? Was there anything I was not able to share?
This alignment allows us to communicate our flaws, insecurities, and sensitivities and thereby begin to heal them.
Bringing compassion to our past wounds and current sensitivities feels soothing, empowering, and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.
As best as you can, whatever you do or don’t communicate, cut yourself a little slack. Be open to bringing love and understanding to your communications — especially when you are feeling triggered.
Remember: Our past wounding (and ancestral wounding) makes us more sensitive to certain things, and that is why we get triggered
Being human means being “imperfect”; there is no shame in that. Our so-called imperfections open hearts and create and spread compassion, which is precisely what heals everyone’s wounding and sensitivities, including our own.
Ask yourself: Could I give myself 5% more permission to be “imperfect”? Could I acknowledge my sensitivities that stem from past wounding? Could I love myself because of those so-called imperfections and sensitivities?
Double-check: Does blaming or judging myself for being “imperfect” or “overly sensitive” actually serve me? How about when I do that to others? Who is served when I do this?
Could I be open to the possibility that my “imperfections” and sensitivities — whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual — exist to serve not only my personal evolution but also that of humanity? If that were true, what else would need re-evaluating?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo or Gemini (since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).
Monday afternoon at 3:13pm EDT, the first Quarter Moon in 26 degrees of Cancer becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect when the Moon entered Cancer on Saturday afternoon (April 13th). The Moon in protective, introverted Cancer makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced Aries.
Last week, on April 8th, saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aries. If we set some intentions on April 10th, 11th, or 12th, we are now ready to make some adjustments.
This is a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum — in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.
Remember, we’re still in Eclipse Season until April 18th and thus don’t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, and find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others.
Allow also for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that’s true in general, but especially true until Eclipse season ends.
Another thing to remember: if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the “here and now”. Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. We are receiving a consciousness upgrade — that’s a good thing!
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, or Libra? 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 evening at 7:22pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for 3 hours until 10:24pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to be in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored at this time.
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 late evening at 10:24pm EDT., the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic as best you can.
Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days.
What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
