Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, October 17th:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Monday night/Tuesday very early morning.

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 rest of the day 😉

Emotional safety is important to us as well; 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 early afternoon, at 1:15pm EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 24.5° of Cancer becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build the moment the Moon entered Cancer, last week, Saturday early afternoon (Oct.15th). The Moon in protective, nurturing Cancer makes a challenging aspect to the Sun harmony-oriented, idealistic Libra.

This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. This Moon phase brings us closer to Oct. 25th, which will bring a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Scorpio.

With this particular last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what was started around the time of the last Solar Eclipse — in this case, around April 30th, 2022. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What have you discovered since late April/early May? What did it mean for you?

As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, or Aries? If so, you will feel this month’s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.

Monday late afternoon, at 4:56pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for almost 8 hours, until 12:45am EDT (Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late afternoon until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.

Monday early evening, a somewhat challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early evening on; it will remain strong until Tuesday early evening. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.

We may have an unrealistic sense of our ability to relate right now and be attracted to others based on inaccurate perceptions — and on incorrect appraisals of who we are and where we are going.

We might also get confused when we aren’t able to connect with others in harmonious ways. The key is genuine self-acceptance; we allow that, our range of love expression increases.

It’s also worthwhile to look at how our ideas are received by others: Can we involve them in our dreams? As best as you can, slow down and trust the process: “If a thing is worth having, it’s worth waiting for.” Just for right now, could you simply have faith that everything will align eventually?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of Libra 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 Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).

Also, on Monday early evening, a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 6:05pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Oct. 14th) on; it will remain strong until this week, Thursday evening. This aspect lets us know that we could create one-on-one relationships that support open-minded communication and exchanges. This becomes possible if we simply bring conscious awareness to our actions and create fair collaborations that lead to win-win outcomes.

It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others. We have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed.

We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life.

When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-28 degrees of Libra, Gemini, or Aquarius? If so, you may feel more blessed 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 rules Aries).

An Urge to Live Out Your Dreams

This week’s headline items: Mercury (now direct) re-enters Libra on Monday late evening; on Saturday, Eclipse Season begins, and Mars starts to slow down (station) –  preparing for its Retrograde phase; Saturn also starts to slow down (station) on Sunday; Mercury ends its post-Shadow phase on Sunday night/Monday very early morning.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for 7 hours), Wednesday early evening (for almost 7.5 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for 12 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, a last gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, October 10th:

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries until 5:04pm EDT. 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 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 late morning, a Venus/Chiron opposition becomes exact at 9:15am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Oct. 7th) on; it will remain strong until this week, Wednesday evening. 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 need to first heal our own deep fears of not being “good enough”, learning to love ourselves — and then seeing 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.

Ask yourself: Might being more accepting of myself despite (or even including) my self-doubt make me a more compassionate collaborator and ally?

If you feel triggered by someone else (or vice versa), direct compassion and kindness towards both of you as best as you can. Ask yourself: Is this connected to my past or upbringing? What if this were an opportunity to embrace my wounded inner child with love and kindness? What about embracing someone else’s wounded inner child?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 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).

Monday late morning, at 10:02am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for 7 hours, until 5:04pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, follow your inner compass and take care of your own needs; on the other hand, deepen your authentic connection to whatever you are building long-term.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until the early evening ahead of time.

Monday early evening, at 5:04pm EDT, the Moon enters steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early 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 late evening, at 7:51pm EDT, Mercury re-enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Oct. 29th. Due to its September retrograde, Mercury already journeyed through the early degrees of Libra between Aug. 25th and Sept. 23rd.

Think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any conversations that I need to revisit? Is there any new information or thoughts (especially in connection with justice, or being objective about a relationship) that came through during that period that now need to be processed?

For the next 19 days, our thinking shifts gears: We are more likely now to see things from multiple points of view and to think in abstractions, this helps us be objective.

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

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need for justice and fairness. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Libra? If so, you will most likely feel chattier for the next 19 days.

Also, today is your LAST CHANCE to get your name entered into my RAFFLE and get a chance to win one of 3 Prizes! You will also get a $30 Discount coupon that can be applied to any of my Readings and single Coaching-Healing sessions, when filling out this brief survey ==> click here to get started!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, October 3rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday 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 in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very 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” 😉

Monday early morning, 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 3:57am EDT)

Monday late morning, 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 10:37am EDT)

Monday afternoon, we are invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant. (Moon in Capricorn quincunxes Mars in Gemini, exact at 3:12pm EDT)

Monday evening, we have an opportunity to soften our need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach. (Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces, exact at 7:31pm EDT)

Monday late evening, at 11:49pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last 6.5 hours, until 6:20am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. We might get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care 😉

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening until Tuesday morning ahead of time.

Sept. 26th – October 2nd

Conviction & Passion 

This week’s headline items: Mercury slows down (stations) again on Tuesday as it prepares to end its Retrograde phase Sunday. Venus changes signs from Virgo to Libra early Thursday morning. It’s time to take actions on our New Moon intentions from Friday on. Pluto’s Station intensifies on Saturday; Mercury comes to a halt and begins its post-Shadow phase early Sunday morning; Sunday evening, the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early afternoon (for 7 hours), Thursday early evening (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday early evening (for almost 10 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement…

To learn more about how I can best serve you, I will send out a brief survey to my Members this week.

To thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey, I am offering a $30 discount on any of my Readings or Coaching sessions to anyone who completes it; the discount can be applied at any time. 

I will also enter everyone’s names into a RAFFLE, with a One-Hour Reading as the First Prize, a 25-minute Reading for the Second Prize, and a webinar of your choice from my webinar page as the Third Prize.

I look forward to getting all of your feedback! ==> In case you would like to get started right away to be part of the raffle & get your $30 discount coupon, here is a link to the survey (5-10 minutes max).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 26th:

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite now, as we seek the approval of others.

We want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.

Today and tomorrow (until 7:15pm) are an excellent time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more quickly 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 an excellent time for anything related to visual arts.

Monday very early morning, a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:46am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.

This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we’ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning, and strategy — as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.

Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the “love of your life”.

One thing is for sure — relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.

We will investigate the upcoming Pluto’s Station Direct phase in Capricorn (Oct. 8th) & Eclipse season (starting on Oct. 15th) — in relation to our own birth charts — in my next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 8th. Where are you being asked to transform? To trust the universal process? ==> Register here now (unless you are already a Star Member — in that case, you are automatically registered and will receive the link to join live on Oct. 7th and the recording of the live event on Oct. 8th).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn, or Taurus? 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 Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).

Monday early afternoon, a Mercury/Venus alignment in 27º of Virgo, becomes exact at 1:59pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening on, and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This is an excellent time to start sharing about art projects (or anything arts-related —visual arts perhaps) and any teaching endeavors. This alignment indicates an ability to communicate from the heart — and in fact, connecting to people we have an affinity with is essential.

We want to feel able to connect in a harmonious, peaceful manner and communicate on an equal footing. We tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time and want to be in touch with people who meet us half-way. In general, we are very agreeable and enjoy socializing. We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word — literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations — especially if connected to our health and wellbeing.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 0 degrees of Libra, Aries, 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, Gemini, Taurus, or Libra (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).

Monday afternoon, a Sun/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 3:33pm EDT. We have been feeling this aspect build since last week, Friday evening (Sept. 23rd), and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about life, relationships — and enjoy the optimism.

Ask yourself: Who (or what) could motivate me to be more assertive in my relationships (business or personal)? Could I simply try out something new? What or who inspires me to try that?

The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach — and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and slow down whenever you can. Also, use humor 🙂

Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I slowed down, just for a moment? What’s the bigger picture that I can perceive then?

Think back to March 5th, 2022, when the Sun last aligned (conjunct) with Jupiter in Pisces, and ask yourself: What was started then? What seeds did I plant around intuitive knowing, going with the flow, and trusting life? What might I see if I expanded my perspective around my interconnectedness with the Universe? Have those seeds sprouted since then? What’s my attitude now? What still needs to change?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 1-7 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). 

Monday all day & night, is our time to set New Moon Intentions for this month — if you haven’t already done so on Sunday evening. If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon

A Breakthrough with Health and Well-Being 

This week’s headline items: on Thursday evening, the Balsamic Moon phase begins, and the Sun changes signs from detail-oriented Virgo to balance-seeking Libra, marking the beginning of the Autumn Equinox. Mercury (now retrograde) re-enters Virgo on Friday morning. On Saturday, Pluto starts to slow down again (aka “stationing”), preparing to end its 5-month Retrograde phase. The New Moon in Libra becomes exact on Sunday early evening.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late morning/early afternoon (for a little over 4.5 hours), Thursday morning (for 21 hours), and Sunday morning (for almost 4 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have an important announcement…

Due to its Station phase, Pluto will be exalted, and its energy will be especially loud from this coming Saturday, Sept. 24th, until Oct. 21st. Pluto is urging us to build something solid, lasting, and emotionally empowering to us and future generations. Remember, Pluto is an emotional empowerment process; if something is “killing us slowly”, we will surely become aware of it during a Pluto Station. An exalted Pluto always bringing extra intensity to the table.

With this in mind, I want to call on anyone who needs emotional, spiritual, or mental support right now to take a look at my brand-new Coaching Packages that I designed with your success (and complete peace) in mind. 

The sessions are very powerful and very gentle at the same time, as they allow you to let go of any stress or discomfort, and provide a chance to reconnect with the inner peace and calm that is always available to you underneath all of the turmoil or stress.

Since these are brand-new packages, I am going to offer a 20% discount for the exchange of your feedback for the first three people who reach out to me by October 31st.

If, by the end of the 90 days of us working together, you are not satisfied with the results you have gained from our sessions, there will be a 100% money back guarantee!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 19th:

Monday, The Moon remains protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late afternoon. 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 vital until tomorrow afternoon…

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. That said, ensure your glass is full before letting others drink from it; otherwise, you might feel drained and resentful.

Monday late morning, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space for healing around anger or self-identity and for addressing emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 10:15am EDT)

Monday late afternoon/early evening brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and reflect on what could improve everyone’s well-being — this could include health issues or concerns or simply looking at our nutrition and what feeds us…

We are also invited to create breakthroughs around things we enjoy through our five senses (e.g., food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach to financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancer sextiles Venus in Virgo & Uranus in Taurus, exact at 4:53 & 5:43pm EDT)

Monday evening, we are asked to make some inner adjustments, as we may experience internal discomfort. Personal comfort and safety are important for the Moon in Cancer — but Saturn in Aquarius reminds us that attachment to the past will not lead to new creations or visions. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 7:25pm EDT)

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 12:44am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance.

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 ideal time for financial undertakings involving technology and the internet, metaphysics, the arts, or group activities. Our fear of taking risks lessens at this time — so this could be an interesting few days for the stock markets 🙂

Ask yourself: What do I picture when I imagine revolutionary health or work routines that support my values and make life tangibly more enjoyable for everyone who interacts with me? What might that teach me about my unique talents or value to the world? If I wanted to experience a breakthrough with my health and well-being, what might that look like?

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 15-22 degrees of Virgo, Taurus, or Capricorn? 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).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 12th:

Monday, the Moon remains pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey there until Tuesday 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 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 early morning has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with, and around our ability to be assertive; this allows us to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations (Moon in Aries conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 5:13am EDT) 

Monday early afternoon, a somewhat challenging Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 12:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build last Sunday afternoon; it will remain strong until Tuesday afternoon. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward, and must make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed to see what needs adjusting.

Our focus is drawn to the truth of the matter, but we could be pulled away by doubts, impatience, or by “accepting” responsibilities that aren’t ours (while ignoring the ones that are). We work hard but aren’t always recognized or compensated as we’d like and therefore sometimes run out of steam before our work is complete. Our life works best when we learn to take care of our most important responsibilities first.

Being of service and improving systems are important for Virgo, but Saturn in Aquarius reminds us that perfectionism or being overly humble will not bring forth new visions for the future.

Ask yourself: What future visions do I have for my local or online communities? Could I stay open to bringing in some new structures to fulfill my vision and create something sustainable? What is the worst that could happen if I chose “perfectionism” over “building a better future”? What role might self-responsibility or discernment play in all of this? What if I simply decided to stay adaptable?

As best you can, slow down, but don’t come to a halt — just because you’re not sure about something doesn’t mean it’s not worth taking a longer look — in other words, don’t discard things because they are different or new when you’re unsure what to do about them.

Ask yourself: What does taking care of my health in a self-responsible way look like to me? What future might I see if I slowed down? What might I notice if I took a longer-term view? How might clear discernment support my communities’ long-term goals?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-21 degrees of Virgo or Aquarius? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn). 

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, at 12:53am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC) that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours until 7:39am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, follow your inner compass and take care of your own needs; on the other hand, deepen your authentic connection to whatever you are building long-term.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday night until Tuesday morning ahead of time.

Having a Human Moment 

This week’s headline items: Mercury stations all week; Venus changes signs from Leo to Virgo very early Monday; Mercury comes to a halt in Libra and begins its 3-week Retrograde phase late on Friday; the Full Moon in Pisces becomes exact early on Saturday morning.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for 6 hours), Thursday morning (for a little over 16 hours), and Saturday evening (for a little over 6 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, a gentle reminder…

Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum at the end of this week…please see the end of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

Or click here for more info and to register for this month only.
(Registration includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!)

An EARLY BIRD SPECIAL is available until midnight Wednesday, Sept. 7th! 

To ask a question in advance; please email me by Sept. 9th by the end of the workday,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 5th:

Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. 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 in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes more important to us.

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” 😉

Sunday night/Monday very early morning, at 12:05am EDT, Venus changes signs from fun and attention-loving Leo to detail-oriented, practical Virgo. She will journey through that sign until Sept. 29th. Our relationships will be put under the magnifying glass for the next three and a half weeks. We are more likely to want to make our relationships work in real terms.

We need to feel of service to others; we love to help, especially in a practical, down-to-earth way. This might also be a great time to acknowledge the people in our lives who take care of those little, daily details and make our lives easier 🙂

On a social level, we might be shyer, less confident, and most likely too busy to uphold our social commitments. On the financial side of things, we may want to invest in our health — especially around healthy daily routines — and anything that makes life run more smoothly on a practical level. Things that aren’t so practical, sensible, and “just plain right” may leave us feeling uneasy.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel shyer and possibly busier than usual for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to be of service to others. Our health is important now, and if we have a partner, the same is true for their health. If you are a Virgo Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.

Monday morning starts with lots of energy and a strong desire for accomplishment; we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for pursuing your passions, self-growth, and long-term commitments — flexibility is key 😉 (Moon in Capricorn squares Jupiter in Aries, exact at 8:44am EDT)

Monday late morning, we feel the need to follow the rules and satisfy our long-term goals, but also to adjust and innovate when communicating and collaborating — balance is essential 😉 (Moon in Capricorn squares Mercury in Libra, exact at 11:21am EDT)

Monday early afternoon, we are invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world and to be responsible and self-reliant. (Moon in Capricorn quincunxes Mars in Gemini, exact at 1:09pm EDT)

Monday late 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 11:49pm EDT)

Happy Labor Day to everyone who is celebrating today!

Self-Growth or Learning a New Skill

This week’s headline items: On Thursday early morning, it’s time to start taking action on our New Moon intentions; the first Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Saturday afternoon; also on Saturday, Mercury starts to slow down (station) — preparing for its 3-week Retrograde phase; Mars begins its pre-Shadow phase on Saturday early evening; the Uranus station ends on Sunday; and Venus changes signs from Leo to Virgo on Sunday night.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday until 5:45am EDT, Wednesday morning (for 6.5 hours), Friday early afternoon (a little over 5 hours), and Sunday late evening (12 minutes).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I wanted you to know about…

I recorded a compelling interview with Keiya K. Reine — a Spiritual Advisor, Healer of the highest vibration, Master Coach, and International TEDx Speaker. The Interview will premiere on Sept. 1st at 8am EDT! You can watch this powerful video here after that time. I promise you will not regret it!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 29th:

Monday, the Moon remains in practical, detail-oriented Virgo and VoC until 5:45am EDT. At that time, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday early afternoon.  The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite now, as we seek the approval of others.

We want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are an excellent time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more quickly 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” 😉

Monday early afternoon: we are invited to connect with others one-on-one and seek a balanced experience whenever possible. Ask yourself: What if I communicated from a fair and collaborative standpoint? What if I listened to create win-wins? (Moon conjuncts Mercury in Libra, exact at 12:10pm EDT)

Monday afternoon, we feel social and seek to go after things on a mental level, so as best as you can, have stimulating conversations — and allow for fairness in discussions or arguments. (Moon in Libra trines Mars in Gemini, exact at 3:50pm EDT)

Monday evening, we are invited to reexamine our various one-on-one relationships and expand our perspectives regarding our identity or personal passions. Do your best to balance your need for harmony and fairness against exploring yourself and your goals from a higher perspective.

Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection and harmony with my desire for greater self-fulfillment and independence? (Moon in Libra opposes Jupiter in Aries, exact at 7pm EDT)

Taking Things Too Personally?

This week’s headline items: The Sun changes signs from Leo to Virgo late on Monday evening; the Balsamic Moon phase begins very early Tuesday; Uranus comes to a halt & starts its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase late on Wednesday morning; Mercury changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Thursday late evening; the New Moon in Virgo becomes exact Saturday early morning.

There will be three  Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Wednesday early morning (for 3.5 hours), Friday very early morning (for 17.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 6.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have an important announcement:

With the current Moon Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio, we are invited to investigate ourselves on a deeper level and release any emotional baggage from the past or inauthentic/toxic connections with others, so we can step into greater abundance and have a realization of our worthiness on this physical plane.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances in my life this year, I have been doing a lot of deep inner work on myself and also with some of my clients. The results have been phenomenal so far. This sparked the idea of creating two new Coaching Packages that can support this more profound and more meaningful journey in our lives. ==> Click here to watch my video on the subject

One of the new offerings is a Life Crises Package, which gives you some very intensive support for 21 days/3 weeks; I created this package for anyone who is going through a massive shift in their lives, something that might be paralyzing without the proper support: uncoupling, health issues, loss of any kind,…

The other is a 90-day VIP package that will provide exclusive Coaching for 3 months. It provides transformation somewhere you have felt stuck and unable to move forward, despite your best efforts (e.g., career goals or changing careers, love life, conscious uncoupling, finances, health, parenting, etc.)

Since I can only accommodate 1 person for the Life Crisis package, and 3 people for the VIP package at any one time, if you are interested, please reach out right away. Once these four slots are filled, anyone else will be added to the waitlist.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 22nd:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Wednesday morning. 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 important to us as well; 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, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday early evening, a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 5:59pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday afternoon (Aug. 19th) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. Our words and our “speaking” are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion help us to connect and empower others.

We are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 23-29 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn or Taurus, or 0 degrees of Libra, Aquarius or Gemini? 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).

Monday late evening, at 11:16pm EDT, the Sun changes signs from fun and attention-loving Leo to detail-oriented, practical Virgo. It will journey there until September 22nd. This time is best used for getting our lives in order and expressing ourselves in realistic, practical terms.

Addressing our health (e.g., starting a new exercise or eating routine) might be just the thing within the next four weeks. Being of service and moving towards improving our living conditions are essential Virgo qualities. How might you be of service to others? What needs a little practical improvement?

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Virgo Sun-sign or Rising-sign. Virgo folks will feel extra confident and playful; Leo people are more aware of the details and more grounded in reality.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 15th:

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey through this sign until Tuesday late evening. With this placement, 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 morning, we are ready to make a courageous move. Follow your instincts as best as you can: you know better than anyone what’s best for you. (Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Aries, exact at 6:59am EDT)

Monday evening has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with and around our ability to be assertive; this allows us to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations. (Moon conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 9:01pm EDT)

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:41am EDT: if you are awake at this time, you may feel the need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, we want to connect on a practical level and share our most precise observations with others — and on the other hand, we feel the need to be independent, move fast, and be actively engaged with life. (Moon in Aries quincunxes Mercury in Virgo, exact at 12:41am EDT)

Haste Makes Waste — Astrology Forecast for Aug. 8th – 14th, 2022

This week’s headline items: Uranus starts to slow down (station) on Wednesday, preparing for its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase; Venus changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Thursday afternoon and the Full Moon in Aquarius becomes exact that evening; Mars opposes the degree of May 16th’s Lunar Eclipse on Friday morning.

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday morning (for a little over 8 hours); Wednesday early afternoon (for a little over 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for 5.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, a quick reminder:

Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this week…please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

Or click here for more info and to register, for this month only.
(Registration includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!)

To ask a question in advance; please email me by Aug. 12th by the end of the workday,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 8th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:39pm EDT; with this placement, we’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.

Monday morning, at 6:30am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 8 hours until 2:39pm EDT. As best you can, honor both 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 at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.

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 ahead for Monday morning until the afternoon.

Monday afternoon, at 2:39 pm EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.

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” 😉

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is transiting through Aquarius, making this a great time to look at our visions for humanity and anything we would like to accomplish long-term within our local or online communities.

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people; as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago?

Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now and where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to?

Monday late afternoon, a harmonious Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:01pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Aug. 5th) on, and it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This creates a supportive environment for healing our insecurities.

We can bring greater awareness to our feelings of shame and any self-deprecating thoughts or behaviors. Paradoxically, we have the chance to shine, largely because we project self-respect and modesty. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths. Where might this be true for you?

Something else that supports healing our insecurities is a sense that we are pursuing a worthy goal — this could be something as simple as a desire to create and express ourselves, or simply acceptance of our own/human complexities while expressing ourselves creatively or otherwise.

Ask yourself: How open can I be to being courageously myself, with all my sensitivities and insecurities? How complex could I allow myself to be? How about everyone else out there in the world? Could I give others permission to be just as complex?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or one or more personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius? 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 (as the Sun rules Leo).

The Necessity for a Healthy Relationship with the Physical World

This week’s headline items: Mars aligns with North Node and Uranus in Taurus on Monday afternoon; on Tuesday afternoon, the Sun squares the degree of April 30th’s Solar Eclipse, and it is also time to take actions on your New Moon intentions; Mercury changes signs from Leo to Virgo very early on Thursday morning; Jupiter’s Station phase ends later on Thursday (remaining retrograde until Nov. 23rd); last but not least, the First Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Friday morning.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for a little over 5.5 hours); Thursday very early morning (for 5.5 hours), and Saturday morning (a little over 5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 1st:

Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking): first of all, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day.

With this placement, our focus is on the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

Monday morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 7:23am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday morning (July 31st), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).

This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of “awkward” — and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run far ahead of what is feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.

Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What’s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?

Note that I say “overlap”: Don’t look for an exact fit; this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn’t make sense… and it doesn’t — it can’t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to “hang out” with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-26 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 Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

Around 2pm EDT Monday, Mars aligns with the North Node in 18.5º of Taurus. We started to feel this alignment build from last Thursday morning (July 28th), and it will remain strong until this Saturday. The last time this alignment took place in any sign was in late March 2021 (in Gemini); the last time we had one in Taurus was in February 2004!

Think back to February of 2004: what steps did you take back then to see your own value more clearly? Where did you indicate new ways of sharing your talents or your resources?

The North Node represents uncharted territory — an area of our lives where we must grow, even if it’s scary, even if it requires effort on our part — but this effort will be rewarded, and usually feels fulfilling.

The North Node in Taurus emphasizes the necessity for organic self-esteem and a healthy relationship with the physical world — with our bodies, resources, and the Earth. The goal is to experience happiness in connection with the physical realm.

Mars aligning with the North Node brings an activating energy to everything concerning Taurus: the enjoyment of our physical world and physical body, as well as an understanding of our value, and what talents and resources we are bringing to the table.

We are ready to roll up our sleeves and do the work: it’s time to develop more awareness around what our own values genuinely are, versus those we may have adopted or inherited.

It takes courage to engage with North Node issues, so ask yourself: What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who honors and loves themselves, and is not afraid to have different values from others?

Mars also aligns with Uranus later today, so please also read the entry about the Mars/Uranus alignment in Taurus that will be exact later this evening, at 7:53pm EDT (see below).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 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 (Mars is the ruler of Aries)

Monday evening, at 6:29pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, until 12:06am EDT (Monday night/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 evening until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.

Also, on Monday evening, a Mars/Uranus alignment in 18.5 degrees of Taurus becomes exact at 7:53pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Wednesday evening (July 27th), and it will remain strong until this Saturday evening.  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: 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 differently? Might a deep breath into my belly calm my nervous system?

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.

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.

Ask yourself: What if — in small or large ways — I could help birth a new age and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?

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 16-22 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)

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 12:06am EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Thursday 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.

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.

This week’s headline items: Jupiter’s Station in Aries intensifies on Monday; the New Moon in Leo becomes exact on Thursday early afternoon; Jupiter comes to a halt and starts its 4-month Retrograde phase on Thursday late afternoon; Chiron ends its Station phase in Aries on Saturday (while remaining Retrograde).

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 9.5 hours); Wednesday evening (a little over 5.5 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (almost 14 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 25th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 1:54pm EDT. With this placement, 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 in the very early morning, a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 2:13am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (July 22nd) and it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around money, valuing ourselves, and our relationships.

It also challenges us to step out of our comfort zone and grow beyond who we thought we were when we were growing up (or in the past).

We are also invited to investigate how we view our connections to family and home. We are called to grow beyond our current understanding of what our values led us to pursue until now.

Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.

Ask yourself: What assumptions am I operating from in connection with money that are based in my past and no longer applicable? What are the assumptions around love? Where am I overindulging, based on what I think I deserve, rather than what I truly need?

We mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time, but may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is.

Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well, as could making assumptions around our personal projects or leadership abilities; as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.

What are you observing about yourself and your emotional connections with others? What is enough… and what is too much?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-12 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, 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, Libra, or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Monday in the early morning, at 4:14am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 9.5 hours, until 1:54pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — you may also need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to your inner, intuitive, or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, and seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

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 until the early afternoon ahead of time.

Monday early afternoon, at 1:54pm 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 to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.

Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it — otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies.

Also on Monday, Jupiter’s Station intensifies at almost 9º of Aries, as it is preparing to come to a halt on Thursday afternoon (starting its 4-month Retrograde phase… more on that later…). This intensified station will last until July 30th. We will feel Jupiter’s energy even more forcefully during this time.

As I mentioned last Friday already, when a planet stations, we start to be more fully aware of its energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies as they exist within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.

The lower expressions of Jupiter include “Oh, the heck with it”, “I deserve this and more”, and “the rules do not apply to me” — generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overpromising, and overindulgence.

Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendant) in 7-11 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Cancer, or Libra will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects)

Dig Out the Truth About Your Feelings & the World You’ve Built

This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Tuesday morning; Chiron in Aries comes to a halt and begins its 5-month Retrograde phase on Tuesday late morning; on Wednesday late morning, the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact and Mars (in Taurus) moves over the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th); Jupiter starts its Station phase on Friday; the Sun changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Friday late afternoon; on Sunday late morning, the Balsamic Moon phase begins, and Mercury (in Leo) squares the Solar Eclipse degree (from April 30th).

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for 4.5 hours); Wednesday late morning (4 hours), and Friday evening (almost 5.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, a quick reminder:

Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this week…please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

To ask a question in advance; please email me by July 22nd by the end of the workday,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 18th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 7:17am EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

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

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

Monday very early morning, at 2:43am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for 4.5 hours, until 7:17am EDT. 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. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.

Monday very early morning, a Mercury/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 3:01am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (July 16th), and it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening. This opposition might bring up some profound issues that need to be discussed. Obsessive thinking, attempts to persuade, insistence on knowing the “truth” or exposing lies, are all possibilities now.

We are capable of very hard work and exertion. In particular, we tend to pursue ideas with intensity, making this an excellent time for any kind of research or in-depth study. We may not be able to put our inner thoughts and experiences into words — and maybe that’s as well, given the darkness and intensity of those thoughts.

We may develop a great love of debate, but we need to be careful not to overpower others with our strong opinions, in our efforts to “convert” them — in other words, treating debates or exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds.

Intense conversations and connections feel more “real” than superficial ones. We want to dig out the truth about our feelings and the world we’ve built. As best as you can, try not to obsess about what someone said to you, or what you’ve heard: We may take things personally that were actually meant to empower us. Here’s what it comes down to: Could you allow yourself to go deeper and tap into your true inner power?

As best as you can, take it one moment at a time; as best you can, resolve issues through cooperation and stay objective. When you notice that you are taking things personally and starting to get defensive, take a deep breath and ask yourself: Is this really about me? Or my past issues? Or theirs? How can I ground myself in the here and now? What might change if I decided to focus on nurturing myself?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra, or 0-1 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio).

Monday, at 7:17am EDT, the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey there until Wednesday afternoon (July 20th). 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.

July 11th – 17th

by Sonja Francis | Jul 10, 2022 | Astrological Forecasts

Let your Intuition Guide you in Money & Love

This week’s headline items: the second of three US Pluto Returns (in 27.5º of Capricorn) will be exact on Monday; on Tuesday, Chiron’s station in Aries intensifies, and Neptune’s station in Pisces finally ends (with the planet now in its Retrograde phase); the Full Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Wednesday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Sunday late evening.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for a little over 7 hours); Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 4 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for almost 4 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, just a gentle reminder:

Due to a family matter, I will be taking a break from creating Full Moon videos until the end of the summer. All other Member content (including Full Moon articles, New Moon videos, New Moon articles, and my Weekly Forecasts) will continue uninterrupted.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, July 11th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. With this Moon placement, we’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than take orders.

With the Moon in  Sagittarius, inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see. As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you.

Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.

Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius — and it is currently transiting through Aries, making this a great couple of days to explore our individual passions and goals. As best as you can, bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the fulfillment of your own desires — and get excited about new paths and new projects.

Ask yourself: What might open up if I became more connected to “I am that I am”? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards myself and my personal passions and goals?

What might promote my independence and me walking my own path? What might do the same for growth around my sexuality and my human identity? What personal beliefs about my identity am I now ready to explore or go beyond?

Use today to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of our own personal goals, especially if you are getting burned out from doing too much for too long.

Monday late evening, at 9:42pm EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 7 hours, until 5:01am EDT (Tuesday early morning). As best you can, honor both 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 at least slow down a little; as best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.

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 until Tuesday early morning ahead of time.

Also on Monday, the second of three US Pluto Returns this year becomes exact at 27º33’ of Capricorn; the first was exact on Feb. 20th. The process of transformation has begun. You might even say that this process already started 5 years ago, in January 2017, when Pluto started to approach its exact return point (coming within 10º of its natal position).

This is a once-every-248-year event that facilitates a major breakdown and rebirthing process — and since the United States is a fairly young country, she is experiencing this transformative event for the first time since the country was founded in 1776. The re-birthing process is a long one, but the initiation will be completed by Dec. 28th, 2022: A new era begins ==> Feel free to also watch my video on the subject.
