July 6th – 12th

Open to Forgiving Ourselves & Others — Forecast for July 6th – 12th

 

This week’s headline items: Neptune’s station ends on Monday and Venus’s does likewise on Tuesday, while Mercury is starting its Station-phase on Wednesday and comes to a halt on Sunday early morning, ending its 3.5-week Retrograde phase in Cancer; Chiron’s 5-month Retrograde phase begins on Saturday late afternoon; Mercury begins its post-Shadow phase on Sunday early morning. On Sunday evening the last Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 30 minutes); Tuesday very early morning (37.5 hours); and Friday late evening (a little over an hour).

 

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, July 6th:

Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn. It will journey there until 6:08am EDT.

Monday at 5:35am EDT, we enter a  Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 30 minutes until 6:08am EDT. Use this intuitive time to experience a sense of maturity, and commitment towards yourself and your long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.

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 at 6:08am EDT, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. The Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, interactions more impersonal than personal; we likely have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

All of the following are also promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius: social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress — as you can see, we have our eyes set on the future (or turned toward outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Also, on Monday, Neptune resumes its normal pace through the sky, although retrograde, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around resting, trusting and allowing? How closely are you in touch with your intuition? Now is a good time to…

Now is a good time to do some internal work in this area (until the Retrograde phase ends on Nov. 28th).

 

Tuesday, July 7th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Monday morning for details).

Monday night/Tuesday every early morning at 12:37am EDT, we enter a very long  Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 37.5 hours until 2:13pm EDT (Wednesday afternoon). You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, a desire to make space for pursuing your financial vision — and breaking free from outdated value systems.

You may have to address what you value, both in others, and in yourself (which informs self-worth); as best as you can, use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life, and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.

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/Tuesday very early morning until Wednesday afternoon ahead of time.

Tuesday late morning, 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 need to connect to like-minded people about our future visions — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body, being aware of what feels safe and in alignment with our inner most Self.

Also, on Tuesday, Venus resumes her normal pace through the sky, ending her station. What has come up in the last 3.5 weeks around receiving? Learning? Connecting? Around the things your mind values? Around your relationship to your inner dialog? How are you doing when it comes to connecting your mind to your heart?

 

Wednesday, July 8th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and  VoC  until 2:13pm EDT (see Monday morning and Tuesday very early morning for details).

Wednesday morning, a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect becomes exact at 6:42am EDT;  we started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (July 4th) on, and it will remain strong until this Sunday evening. This aspect brings some juicy energy to our conversations and a chance to have some overdue discussions.

As best as you can, make them productive discussions that serve you and others — a win-win — otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster 😉

Another thing to keep in mind: Mercury is still retrograde until July 12th, which makes this a more internal/intuitive process. We might be thinking about hammering something out with someone, but may not get around to it until Mercury has gone direct. Another challenging Mercury/Mars aspect becomes exact on July 27th; this will give us a chance to resolve things that come up now, or voice something that we have not been able to articulate quite yet.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets)in 3-9 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, or Libra? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Aries (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)

Wednesday at 2:13pm EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Saturday very early 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.

Also, on Wednesday, Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 5-7 degrees of Cancer, in preparation to come to a halt on Sunday  — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase. This station will last until July 17th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury’s energies more strongly.

Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, family, physical & emotional home, self-care, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the Shadow phase that follows — for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, click here)

For the next 9 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere — and that goes for the journey itself, too — especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.

Be extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are connected to real-estate, transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, boats, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after July 26th, when the Shadow phase is over.

We will also talk in more detail about the Mercury Direct and post-Shadow phase, in relationship to our own birth charts, in our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Sunday (July 12th).

Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-9 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries or Libra.

 

Thursday, July 9th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Wednesday afternoon for details).

Thursday until midnight, is your last change to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for the upcoming Forecasting Forum. We’ll take a look at the Mercury & Chiron Station phases (until July 17th + 21st), as well as Chiron’s Retrograde phase in Aries (July 11th – Dec. 15th), and Mercury’s Direct motion & post-Shadow phase in Cancer (July 12th – 26th). 

To register for this month only, click here.

Thursday morning: we feel a need to go within — and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions — the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.

Thursday late morning, we get an opportunity to be very present, to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”.

As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progressive, new ideas about what is important to you, and things that could make yours and other people’s life easier on a very practical level.

Thursday night/Friday every early morning, starts out with a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect on an emotional or familiar level with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.

 

Friday, July 10th:

Friday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Wednesday afternoon for details).

Friday 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 afternoon, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect in becomes exact at 2:37pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday (July 5th) on; and it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday evening. It’s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.

We get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being “good enough”. Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.

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

Friday at 11:49pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over an hour until 1:06am EDT (Saturday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to be very present — and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, focus on what’s essential and let go of the rest.

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 late evening until Saturday very early morning ahead of time.

 

Saturday, July 11th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and  VoC until 1:06am EDT; at that time,  the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until next week, Monday early afternoon (July 13th). 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. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Sunday evening).

Saturday late afternoon, at 5:09pm EDT, Chiron comes to a halt in 9.5 degrees of Aries. As you may recall from last week, Chiron is the wounded healer; in Aries, it brings our attention towards our physical and sexual wounds, as well as wounding around our self-identity and the masculine energies. Watch out for any triggers that are connected to your past.

This is the beginning of Chiron’s 5-month Retrograde phase, that lasts until Dec. 15th (moving backwards to 5 degrees of Aries). Until mid December, we are getting a chance to connect to, and investigate our wounds and insecurities on a more internal level.

We may need to put any wounds around the masculine approach to things under the magnifying glass — while they are there, do your best to take a closer look at how you might bring compassion and understanding to them. What might you discover about those wounds, if you really looked? How could others benefit from your discoveries?

Do you have your Ascendant, your Career point or any of your personal planets in 5-10 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn? If you do, you will probably feel the effects of this retrograde phase more than others.

Saturday late afternoon, we feel energized (and impulsive) and have even greater enthusiasm for something we feel passionate about. As best as you can, be yourself without offending others.

Saturday 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 gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations.

Also, Saturday evening, we have an opportunity to connect with others and move a project forward that is dear to us. It’s time for action: What needs to be communicated? How can we get the information we need? Or is it a question of “who” rather than “how”?

 

Sunday, July 12th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Saturday very early morning for details).

Sunday early morning, at 4:26am EDT, Mercury comes to a halt in 5.5 degrees of Cancer and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3.5-week Retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its post-Shadow phase…more on that in a moment…

We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your past conditioning and your emotional needs over the past 3.5 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed with regards to your needs or your upbringing?

When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by July 17th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.

We will also address Mercury’s direct motion and post-Shadow phase in our Forecasting Forum. Feel free to join us live today at 11:30am EDT, or watch the video presentation of this live event.

If you would like to join live, please keep in mind that registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after 10:30am EDT today you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.

Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 5-14 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra?  

As you may recall, I also mentioned Mercury post-Shadow phases a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to real-estate, transportation (cars, boats, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular Shadow phase ends on July 26th.

Sunday afternoon, a harmonious Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 2:43pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from this Thursday evening on; and it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday evening (July 15th). This aspect could be tremendously supportive when it comes to dissolving what no longer serves us.

Our intuition, imagination, and inspiration all seem to be “zeroed in”. We go beyond “tolerance”, to lovingly embrace differences in others, and give where it’s needed with open hearts and hands. All of this also feeds into any creative and spiritual endeavors that start around this time.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or one or more personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Cancer, Pisces or Scorpio? 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 or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).

Sunday evening, at 7:29pm EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 21 degrees of pioneering, fast-paced Aries becomes exact. The Moon pioneering, fast-paced Aries in makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in protective, nurturing Cancer.

This Moon phase brings us closer to the next New Moon in Cancer, which ends Eclipse season, and is the second New Moon in Cancer within a 4-week period (on July 20th). With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last Eclipse cycle — in this case, in early January. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up.

What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since the beginning of the year? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up between yourself and others — and for any internal conflicts.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn? 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.

And…

A heads up for Monday (July 13th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries, until 1:34pm EDT. At 11:54am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 1.5 hours until 1:34pm EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning (July 16th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )
