February 7th – 13th

Our Relationship to our “Inner Authority”

 

This week’s headline items: Venus ends her Station phase on Monday; the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday morning; on Wednesday evening, Pluto trines the degree of the Nov. 19th, 2021 Lunar Eclipse.

There will only be two Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very late evening (for a little over 5.5 hours); and Friday very early morning (for 15 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s forecast, please consider to:

Join us on Saturday, Feb. 19th for the next Forecasting Forum. We will investigate the upcoming Squares in late February and early March, to the Eclipse points — in relationship to our own birth charts.

Eclipses bring big evolutionary shifts, and when a transiting planet squares an Eclipse degree, we are at a turning point — collectively and individually speaking.

What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 7th:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Wednesday 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 afternoon, take small steps on projects already underway — it’s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all. Or simply take a break and do some Sun Salutations or push-ups 😉 (Moon in Taurus trines Mars in Capricorn, exact at 2:12pm EST)

Also on Monday afternoon, we are asked to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for our visions, and share with them what is important to us. (Moon in Taurus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus, exact at 3:22pm EST)

Monday evening, we have the ability to comfortably accomplish things that are aligned with our values, coupled with a nice feeling of ease — rushing is not required or expected of us right now. We are also feeling quite grounded in our connections with others and can be quite “real” with them without causing offense. (Moon in Taurus trines Venus in Capricorn, exact at 7pm EST)

Also, on Monday, Venus resumes her normal pace through the sky, ending her Station phase. What came up in the last three weeks around self-worth? Finances? Social interactions? How about around what you want to attract long-term?

What came up in connection with relationship issues connected to long-term commitments and your long-term goals & aspirations? Or around your relationship to your “inner authority”?

What have you discovered about honoring your boundaries and commitments? What works for you? What doesn’t any longer? How closely are you in touch with an empowered relationship to yourself and your standing in society?

Tuesday, Feb. 8th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday morning, at 8:50am EST, the first Quarter Moon in almost 20º of Taurus becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus — last week, Sunday early evening (Feb. 6th). The Moon, in steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented Taurus, makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious Aquarius.

We feel compelled to take action. Last week, on Feb. 1st, the New Moon in Aquarius was 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 18-22 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius, Leo or Scorpio? 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).

Tuesday late morning, a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:57am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Feb. 4th) on, and it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual — among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel “driven”, especially in new and unusual directions.

It could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes, and connecting to like-minded people.

Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in 8-14 degrees of Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Aquarius (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)

Tuesday very late evening, at 11:48pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for a little over 5.5 hours until 5:27am EST (Wednesday morning). If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to empower one another in regard to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.

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 Tuesday very late evening until Wednesday early morning ahead of time.

 

Wednesday, Feb. 9th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains steady, peaceful Taurus and VoC until 5:27am EST (see Monday morning & Tuesday very late evening for details).

Wednesday, at 5:27am EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Friday evening. For the next two days, 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 🙂

Wednesday evening, around 8pm EST, when Pluto reaches 27º14′ of Capricorn, it trines the Lunar Eclipse degree (27º14′ Taurus), from Nov. 19th, 2021. This is a point of empowerment if we choose it.

Watch for important insights and developments this evening and tomorrow morning. Our direct experience is our most valuable resource, especially if we allow ourselves to go deeper and be completely authentic with ourselves: How is your sense of self, and your deep connections with others feeling since Nov. 19th?

Observe how this plays out for you this evening: Where (or with whom) am I looking to have a more empowered connection? What am I most aware of? What do I spend my time, energy, and money on? If this reflected my relationship with myself, what might that mirror show me? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value out there in the world?

Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning, we are required to make some adjustments — and may need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to our inner or emotional understanding of things. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. (Moon in Gemini squares Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 12:28am EST)

Also, Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:01am EST) 

Thursday, Feb. 10th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Wednesday early morning for details).

Thursday morning, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward mature and cautious actions that build something durable. (Moon in Gemini quincunxes Mars in Capricorn, exact at 6:36am EST) – post at 4:40am EST

Thursday late morning, we feel a little uneasy. We need to develop inner awareness around two seemingly incompatible energies: on the one hand, we feel nudged toward having responsible and committed relationships, and a strong desire for practical goals — and on the other hand, we feel a need to be curious, in constant movement, and gathering or exchanging information/data as much as possible.

Ask yourself: Am I after light, superficial exchanges? Or practical and truthful commitments? Am I interested in gathering information? Or accomplishing something out there in the real world? Am I seeking out new information and keeping an open mind? Am I wanting to keep my mind busy with mental distractions — such as listening to the news or reading about other peoples’ opinions?

What would it look like if I was able to take 100% responsibility for what I contribute to society? What does being self-reliant look like to me? What if I could do all of the above without self-judgment?  (Moon in Gemini quincunxes Venus in Capricorn, exact at 9:35am EST)

Thursday afternoon, we sense harmonious connections even though we are focused on making progress. Where our vision for the future is concerned, we are invited to bring a new level of authenticity, and make realistic choices around connecting with others.  (Moon in Gemini trines Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 3:20pm EST)

Friday, Feb. 11th:

Friday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 6:27pm EST (see Wednesday early morning for details).

Friday very early morning, at 3:23am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for 15 hours, until 6:27pm EST. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people, share your vision, and exchange information with one another.

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 Friday very early morning until the evening ahead of time.

Friday morning, a Mercury/Pluto alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 9:04am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Jan. 26th on (a longer time than usual due to Mercury’s Retrograde and Station phases), and it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (Feb. 15th). 

This is the third time within the last six weeks that we are experiencing this powerful alignment; the first time it was exact, was on Dec. 30th, the second time was on Jan. 28th.

Think back to those times: What did you communicate to others at that time — and how? What came up in a powerful way? Did you get a chance to empower yourself and others? What was your inner dialog all about?

Until Feb. 15th, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession.

Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about — and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully — if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself: What fears or concerns do I need to let go of, to communicate more powerfully and with passion?

Am I living my life from a place of wanting to protect myself from long-term harm or worst-case scenarios? Or with an open heart, feeling empowered in my daily choices?

If you answered “yes” (or “sometimes”) to the first question, ask yourself: Am I ready to let go of thinking or obsessing about worst-case scenarios? Am I ready to trust the process and give myself permission to grieve any losses and let go of the urge to protect myself at any cost?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer or 0-1 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment. 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)

Friday at 6:27pm EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until next week, Monday morning (Feb. 14th). 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 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, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

 

Saturday, Feb. 12th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Friday late morning for details). 

Saturday early afternoon, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 2:07pm EST)

Saturday afternoon, brings a nice feeling of ease and an enhanced ability to connect with others in a gentle way. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing, and allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you. Release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. This is also a great time to explore spiritual, intuitive, or creative endeavors, and for lending loving and nurturing support to others. (Moon in Cancer trines Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 2:35pm EST) 

Saturday late afternoon/early evening, we have an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 4:49pm EST)

Saturday late evening, our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged. We are invited to create a balance between the familiar, and our passion, ambitions, and goals for the future. (Moon in Cancer opposes Mars in Capricorn, exact at 11:21pm EST)

 

Sunday, Feb. 13th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Friday late morning for details). 

Saturday night/Sunday very early morning, our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged; we are invited to balance our need for something familiar against our need for worldly success and status. As best as you can, get in touch with what you truly want and need: Is it the world’s approval or an authentic emotional self-connection? (Moon in Cancer opposes Venus in Capricorn, exact at 12:45am EST) 

Sunday early morning, we are asked to make some inner adjustments, as we may experience some internal discomfort. Personal comfort and safety is important for the Moon in Cancer, yet Saturn in Aquarius reminds us that staying attached to the past is not going to lead to new creations, or bring forth new visions for the future. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 4:33am EST) 

Sunday afternoon, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.  (Moon in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces, exact at 2:15pm EST) 

Sunday evening requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Sun in Aquarius, exact at 9:09pm EST)

And…

 

A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 14th): the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:17am EST; at which time, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday afternoon (Feb. 16th) (this Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon which will be exact Wednesday next week); At 5:27am EST, we enter a Moon VoC for a brief 50 mins until 6:17am EST; Also, at 4:54pm EST, Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius, where it will journey until March 9th. More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )
