A Confident Mind

Forecast for Feb. 12th  – 18th, 2018

The theme of last week for me was “let it flow, let it go” — I just went one day at a time, allowing what needed to come up to come on up, so it could be released. After all, all is well, no matter what the mind keeps saying about it. I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies… and self-care was soooo very needed.

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have an important announcement:
Good news! As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you!

For the next four weeks as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site — and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already — I’ll be offering a super-dooper special launch discount on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info about the new online community and it’s benefits, click here

It get’s better: If you join the Star or SuperStar Membership before Feb. 25th, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum — about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally — for FREE 😉

This week’s headline items: A very powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius becomes exact on Thursday late afternoon; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday late evening — and the Sun follows suit on Sunday around noon.

There will be three Moon VoC Phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 6 hours), and Saturday early evening until Sunday morning (for almost 14 hours).

Monday (February 12th) the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. 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” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.

Monday afternoon, our focus intensifies — we might even 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 😉

Monday evening, we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?

Tuesday (Feb. 13th) the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 10:11am EST (see Monday for details).

Tuesday very early morning, at 12:43am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course phase that lasts for about 9.5 hours, until 10:11am 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 your morning ahead of time 😉

Tuesday at 10:11 am EST the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius where it will be until Thursday evening. 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.

Tuesday early evening a challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. We started to feel this from Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.

We want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended — and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo 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 Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Tuesday an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones 😉

What is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)

Wednesday (Feb. 14th) (Valentine’s Day) the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Tuesday late morning for details)

Wednesday morning is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.

Wednesday is also the last day before the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.

This is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.

It comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?

Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 — the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?

As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.

Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?

Thursday (Feb. 15th) is a big day! The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42pm EST (see Tuesday late morning for details)

Thursday morning an opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 10:07am EST. We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.

It also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.

This aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on “old” thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights — this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to… stay open to other dimensions 😉

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius or Gemini? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

On Thursday at 4:05pm EST, a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact. This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject

Eclipses take place approximately every 6 months; Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonant”, rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:

Were there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?

If you’re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.

If that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my 30-minute class, “How to Read My Birth Chart” — you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum — we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I’m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).

Although we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the first Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.

Solar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.

The Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node — and South Node Eclipses can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul’s evolution takes place for you.

Eclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty — so pretty much anything could happen between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).

As best as you can, stay both grounded and flexible — and don’t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically — but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).

Eclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better — the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.

That said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter — don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season 😉 Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.

Ask yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?

With the Solar Eclipse in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life — and we are ready to make huge improvements.

Aquarius also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.

South Node Eclipses invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign — in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius — so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?

At a lower Aquarian vibration, we feel like outsiders — as though we don’t fit in, are maybe a little too different. We want to rebel against social structures that don’t fit with our vision.

We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective — when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:

What stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different and connected to others? What if taking responsibility for “how things are” was the perfect jump-start for a better future?

To move even further into that higher Aquarian vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?

Every single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?

Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in Aries, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Aquarius. This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.

Right now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.

Ask yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?

Jupiter in Scorpio squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in Capricorn, and trines Chiron in Pisces. This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle — to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be — it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.

Here’s a good start: We all have “survival tactics” we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?

As always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts 🙂

Eclipses are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release — and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).

Suppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we are interconnected and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.

Since Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum — we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I’m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).

Or…

You may recall that I now offer membership plans — you could get a free copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month 😉 Click here to take advantage of that deal!

Between now and Feb. 25th, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility — and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won’t last forever — in another two weeks, the downloads are complete 😉  Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, or 0-2 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.

Now let’s talk “Intentions” 🙂 Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.

With a Solar Eclipse, we want to wait 48 hours before setting our intentions — in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next six months — and I’ll give you the very best times for setting them. 

Also on Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST, at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a Moon Void of Course phase that lasts for almost 6 hours, until 9:42 pm EST. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.

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 your Thursday evening ahead of time 😉

Thursday evening,  an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.

On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There’s no need to rush anything; 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 4-8 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus or Scorpio? 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).

Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Sunday morning. 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.

Friday (Feb. 16th) the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Thursday evening for details)

Friday morning, 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 have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us 😉

Friday late evening, we feel a need to go within and slow down — and at the same time, we also want to 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.

Also on Friday late evening, 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 is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I’ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: “Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.” — Astro Butterfly

Saturday (Feb. 17th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Thursday evening for details).

Saturday morning, a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream… or a fantasy.

Ordinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.

We have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream — and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about — but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.

Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, or Virgo. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Pisces (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)

Saturday early morning, a Sun/Mercury alignment in 29 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.

Given that this alignment takes place in Aquarius, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even — do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.

We want an active role in communications — it’s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?

Our opinions are strong and our thinking independent — and we’re proud of both — so our egos may get bruised if we don’t feel “heard”. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that’s ok.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, or 0-2 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Gemini? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)

Saturday afternoon (after 4:05pm EST) is also the best time to set our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.

So when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases.

This gives us two “windows” for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):

The first window is on Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.

The second would be between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). 

Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Aquarian energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — click here to watch 😉

If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉

This Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?

Saturday early evening, at 5:14 pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course phase that lasts for almost 14 hours, until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning). Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?

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 your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time 😉

Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius to creative, sensitive Pisces. It will journey through Pisces until March 6th. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion — we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.

We seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time — if we allow that energy to come through — and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.

The key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.

Mercury in Pisces also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Pisces? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  

Sunday (Feb. 18th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and VoC until 7:05am EST.

Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will remain until Tuesday afternoon. 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 afternoon at 12:18 pm the Sun moves into creative, sensitive Pisces where it will remain until March 20th. This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.

Music or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully — if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.

The keyword here is “allowing”: as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space — allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else’s feelings rather than your own.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Pisces Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Pisces, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.

Last but not least, Sunday after 7:05am EST,  you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse Intentions. Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Aquarian energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — click here to watch 😉

If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fanpage and/or following me on Twitter. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉

This Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?

A heads-up for next Monday (Feb. 19th): The Moon remains in Aries all day (see Sunday morning for details). Moon in Aries trines Mars in Sagittarius at 10:18am EST. Moon in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn at 8:47pm EST. More about all the details in next week’s forecast 😉
