December 10th – 16th

What’s calling to you? — Forecast for Dec. 10th – 16th

 

This week’s headline items: Chiron’s station continues all week and Mercury’s ends on Monday. Mercury re-enters Sagittarius on Wednesday evening. Also on Wednesday, it’s time to take actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, the first Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Saturday morning.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late afternoon (for a little over 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over 2 hours), and Saturday morning (for almost 13 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:
I was interviewed last week for the “Sexually Connected” Podcast, hosted by the very lovely Claudia Soul, Relationship & Intimacy Coach to the Elite, Sexologist, Author, and Radio Host.

Questions centered around how the zodiac can influence relationships and compatibility, and particularly sexual compatibility between the signs. I had a great time, and after we were done, Claudia kindly told me “Sonja, brilliant show and we shall have you back!”

As soon as I get the audio to the Radio show, I will post the link 😉 So, watch out for it on my website or on my Facebook Fan-page…

Now, this week’s Forecast:

Monday (Dec. 10th): the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 6:39pm EST. We tend to be more realistic, serious, 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; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.

For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B”

Monday at 4:27pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 2 hours, until 6:39pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment — and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.

As best as you can, take some breaks, and “let your freak flag fly” — just for a moment — and revel in it! 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/early evening ahead of time. 

Monday at 6:39pm EST, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Thursday morning (Dec. 13th). The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions 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, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Also on Monday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station in 28.5 degrees of Scorpio. Communication and transportation is now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase (Nov. 14th — Dec. 6th) can now be reviewed. What did you discover about your inner dialogue — especially when it comes to your “expansive” or “fearful” self — during that time?

Tuesday (Dec. 11th): the Moon remains in…

…freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Monday evening for details).

Tuesday morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:38am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Sunday evening (Dec. 9th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening (Dec. 12th). 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 if we’re to see what needs adjusting.

It could be hard to make decisions under this influence, as we tend to doubt our perceptions, or our problem-solving ability. It may also be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate, leading to misunderstandings: we tend to feel uncomfortable — a sort of “inner itchiness”.

As best you can, give yourself time to respond, allow your breath to ground you — and empower yourself and others by coming from love rather than fear — after all, in this moment, aren’t you actually ok?

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of Scorpio, Aries, or 0 degrees of Sagittarius or Taurus? 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 Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus of Aquarius).

Tuesday late morning is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. Ask yourself: Am I open to explore something different? Am I open to seeing something that I haven’t looked at before? Am I open to new adventures?

Wednesday (Dec. 12th): the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Monday evening for details).

Wednesday all day (and especially after 12:36pm EST): if you set Intentions last week Friday, or Saturday after the New Moon became exact, today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?

Wednesday evening, at 6:43pm EST, Mercury will leave passionate all-or-nothing Scorpio (for real this time), and re-enter optimistic, adventurous Sagittarius, where it will remain until Jan. 4th, 2019. Due to its retrograde phase, Mercury journeyed through Sagittarius once before: between Nov. 1st and Nov. 30th. When Mercury is in Sagittarius once again, our thinking shifts from plumbing the depths of situations, to learning more broadly.

During this time, our mind has the desire to learn about a wide range of topics. We seek out ideals; our thinking is more optimistic and our faith increased. We are more equipped to believe and to persuade. With Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) in its own sign right now, we are seeking spiritual and mental expansion, and a renewed faith in something greater than ourselves.

There will likely be a lot of idealistic talk, and a desire for philosophical conversations; as best as you can, listen to your thoughts, tossing the ones that lack an expansive tone for everyone involved. If you notice that you’re getting dogmatic or moralistic, think bigger! Why are you on this planet? What is the human journey all about? Expand your thinking by tapping into your inner wisdom and connecting to a broader philosophy.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need for expansion — let’s hope it’s not your waistline that expands 🙂 Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Sagittarius? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks — until January 4th, 2019.

Thursday (Dec. 13th): the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 7:40am EST (see Monday evening for details).

Thursday at 5:20am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 2 hours, until 7:40am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward

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 Thursday morning ahead of time.

Thursday a 7:40am EST, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Saturday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

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

It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact Saturday morning).

Thursday morning, after the Moon has entered Pisces, we feel a need to go within and slow down — and at the same time, we also want to connect, learn (if possible), move fast, and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions — the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.

Thursday late evening, has a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.

Friday (Dec. 14th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Thursday morning for details).

Friday very early morning, if we are awake at that time, we get an opportunity to be wholly present — and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.

Friday late morning, we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.

Friday late evening, we are invited to take actions that inspire connectedness and creativity. What actions could you take? We are also invited to “tune in” before taking any action: What feels right to you in this very moment?

Friday night/ Saturday very early morning, if we are awake at that time, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.

Saturday (Dec. 15th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces, until 7:44pm EST ( see Thursday morning for details).

Saturday morning, at 6:49am EST, the first Quarter Moon in 23.5 degrees of Pisces becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Pisces Thursday morning. The Moon in creative, sensitive, compassionate Pisces makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius.

We feel compelled to take action. Last week on Dec 7th, the New Moon in Sagittarius became exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.

As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-26 degrees of Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo or Gemini? 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).

Also, Saturday at 6:49am EST, right as the first Quarter Moon becomes exact, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 13 hours, until 7:44pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.

Make space to go within and listen to the subtle voice of your intuition — and to go beyond what you already know and explore something new. That said, as always with a Moon VoC, avoid starting anything brand-new. It’s best to either stick to your routine, thoroughly plan out the whole of Saturday’s daytime hours ahead of time — and if that won’t work for you, just go with the flow.

Saturday at 7:44pm EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Tuesday early morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Sunday (Dec. 16th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Saturday evening for details).

Sunday late morning, an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 9:26am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (Dec. 19th). This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values and financial affairs: We are more able to get to the bottom of what needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for how we are handling things.

On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments in other people’s resources. There’s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly — do the “due diligence”. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to “take” it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces or Virgo ? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Sunday late morning/early afternoon: we feel an enthusiasm for personal achievement and exploration; in particular, we have an urge to explore something new that helps us develop an all-around understanding of the bigger picture. What might you be able to explore right now that you haven’t so far? What’s calling to you?

Later (in the afternoon), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects.

Also, Sunday afternoon we are invited to make 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 connect intimately with others and go to a deeper level — and on the other hand, the need to take care of ourselves and remain independent.

A heads up for next Monday (Dec. 17th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Saturday for details). In the very early morning, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 1:57am EST, we started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening (Dec. 13th) on; it will be strong until next week Wednesday (Dec. 19th). Also on Monday, the Venus shadow phase ends in almost 11 degrees of Scorpio. More about the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
