June 17th – 23rd

Get to the Very Heart of A Subject — Forecast for June 17th – 23rd

 

This week’s headline items: the Full Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday early morning and Mercury’s Shadow phase begins on Thursday. On Friday late  morning, Neptune comes to a halt, starting its 5-month Retrograde-phase, and the Sun changes signs from Gemini to Cancer (this marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere) Eclipse Season officially starts on Saturday and Chiron starts to slow down on Sunday.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday morning (for a little over 14.5 hours), and Friday late morning (for 24 hours).

Now for this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, June 17th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 12:13pm EDT. 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, this 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. This Moon placement started the build up towards the Full Moon (exact today, early morning, June 17th). If you are currently a Member of my online community, feel free to watch my Full Moon video.

Monday at 4:31am EDT, the Full Moon in almost 26 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Sagittarius, early on Saturday morning, June 15th. If you are currently a Member, and want to learn more about this month’s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video.

For the next two weeks, we seek balance, as we become more aware of something that needs to be brought into alignment or integrated. The balance in question is between our mental processes — symbolized by Gemini — and our quest for a larger truth or meaning (linked to Sagittarius).

It’s important to realize that the Sagittarian urge to “go beyond” is essential for our growth; when it comes to balancing these energies, that same urge can play a crucial role in how we interact with others and share information — in other words, that Gemini energy.

The Moon Nodes in Cancer/Capricorn, Neptune in Pisces, and Jupiter in Sagittarius all play a crucial role in this Full Moon chart. Jupiter is still retrograde at the time of the Full Moon — and this signifies an inner process of some sort, one directly connected to the Full Moon energy.

The Moon Nodes are conjunct Mercury & Mars on the Cancer end, and Pluto & Saturn on the Capricorn end; this asks us to find a healthy balance between inner and outer satisfaction and fulfillment.

As you may recall from my last New Moon video/article, Neptune is still exalted, preparing for its retrograde phase on June 21st.

More about the specifics in a moment, but one thing to remember in general: Full Moons are always times of awareness and culmination. We see things that we have not seen before, and we get a chance to make some changes, if we don’t like what we see. So think back to the New Moon phase that started on June 3rd: What seeds were planted at that time? What has culminated since?

So let’s first talk about the Sagittarius-Gemini polarity: At its highest vibration, Sagittarius shows us… if you are currently a Member, and want to read the whole article and get all the Coaching questions, click here

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. 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).

Monday at 4:31am EDT, at the same time as the Full Moon becomes exact, we also enter a Moon Void of Course, that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours until 12:13pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to balance your need for physical, mental, or spiritual adventure and exploration against your desire to connect and share yourself with others.

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 at 12:13pm EDT, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. 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 all day and tomorrow (Tuesday) until 11am EDT,…

Tuesday, June 18th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday early afternoon for details). 

Tuesday morning, a long-term, opportune Saturn/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 7:47am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from May 14th on; its influence will remain strong until July 18th. This is the second time this year we will experience this aspect; the first time it became exact was on Jan. 31st, though we could feel it from Jan. 11th – Feb. 23rd. Think back to that time: What opportunities came your way? What required a combination of an open heart and commitment?

Both planets are in the signs they rule — Saturn is in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces — so this aspect provides a particularly potent opportunity to bring an intuitive and creative approach to building the various foundations in our lives — both individually and collectively.

Saturn is asking us to be realistic and mature, Neptune is asking us to be compassionate and accepting; both are connected to inner processes.

Saturn is interested in self-mastery — the ability to manifest something real by making an inner commitment and applying persistent effort. Neptune is interested in universal love and the connection to the inner divine through meditation or through simply being present in the now-moment to all the energies inside and around us.

Saturn is also interested in the now-moment, but more as the starting point for our long-term goals — it is interested in “where we’re at”, so we can realistically decide what step needs to come next… and next… and next — while always referring back to the now-moment.

We have a unique opportunity right now, to more deeply trust our inner processes, while also allowing the Universe/Source/our Higher Selves to step in and guide us as we build structures (individually and collectively) that support something sustainable and long-lasting. What would this look like in your own life? How might you be able to contribute to the collective version of that effort?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, 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 Pisces or Capricorn (Neptune is the ruler of Pisces; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)

Tuesday late morning, we are in 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. 

Tuesday until 11am EDT, is your last chance to sign up for Tuesday’s FORECASTING FORUM (If you are not already a Star or Super Star Member). Please note that we’ll talk about the Chiron Station in 4-5º of Aries: late June until late July, and the second Mercury Retrograde phase of the year in Leo/Cancer: starting early July. See top of the page for more details.

Tuesday early afternoon, a Mercury/Mars alignment in almost 21 degrees of Cancer becomes exact at 12:04pm EDT. We started feeling this aspect build from last week, Friday morning (June 14th) on; it will be strong until next week Monday (June 24th). This alignment might speed up our thinking (and possibly also our driving 😉 

We communicate with curiosity, enthusiasm and energy, especially on food, family, real-estate, self-care, our home, our past — and things we are familiar with. We get to the very heart of a subject.

Something to be aware of: We may take things a little too personally. This defensiveness could make it challenging for others to engage in healthy dialogue with us. We may focus too much on emotional safety and get attached to being “right” over being happy. As best as you can, take care of yourself, honor your feelings and relax: All good things come to those who practice emotional, mental and physical Self-care 😉

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Libra or Aries? 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 Gemini, Virgo or Aries (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).

Tuesday late evening, we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment. 

Wednesday, June 19th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 10:01pm EDT (see Monday early afternoon for details).

Wednesday morning, a Mercury/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 6:56am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening (June 16th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This opposition might bring up some very deep issues that need to be discussed. Obsessive thinking, attempts to persuade, insistence on knowing the “truth” or exposing lies… these 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 their’s? How can I ground myself in the here and now? What might change if I decided to focus on nurturing myself?

We also talked about this aspect in more detail in this week’s Full Moon video/article. Feel free to watch/read it, if you haven’t seen it yet.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-25 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries or Libra? 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).

Wednesday at 7:19am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, until 10:01pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to find a balance between staying focused and committed to your long-term goals and how you want to be perceived out there in the world, versus connecting from a nurturing place and thinking about self-care (or at least what feels in alignment on an emotional level). 

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 Wednesday morning until the late evening ahead of time. 

Wednesday at 10:01pm EDT, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. 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.

Wednesday late evening, a Mars/Pluto opposition becomes exact at 11:26pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (June 15th) on, it will remain strong until next week Monday (June 24th). Our ambition and drive to succeed are incredibly strong now. We’ll do almost anything to achieve our goals and have the energy to set about doing it.

That said, our basic drive and energy could ram up against emotionally charged questions of security (or deep insecurity) and power. We might not feel like dealing with some of the deeper issues that keep springing up, perhaps around our accomplishments in the world, or around family and home.

At the extremes, we could find ourselves driven by a compulsive need to achieve. Do your best to find the balance between home/family and career/long-term goals. Take care of your inner needs to accomplish real transformation in the outer world.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-25 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries or Libra? 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).

Thursday, June 20th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday late evening for details).

Thursday morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.

As such, we may have to address what we value in both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. 

Thursday late morning, also presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress. 

Also, on Thursday, Mercury enters its Shadow phase, when it reaches 23º 57′ of Cancer. This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on July 7th in 4.5 degrees of Leo (more on that in 2.5 weeks).

So what is the “shadow phase”? To explain this, I’ll quickly cover what happens when a planet “stations” and then goes “retrograde”.

Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (“stationing”), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go “backward” through the sky (this is the “retrograde” phase). It’s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.

At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky — except it’s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a “halt”, then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it’s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.

There are also two “shadow” phases — during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later “revisit”. The first “shadow” comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).

It’s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you’d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.

Mercury’s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.

If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items — especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) — be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it’s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over — that would be Aug. 13th in this case 😉

Of course, if there is something that must get done during these phases, don’t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it’s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it’s all “perfect” 😉

We will talk in more detail about Mercury’s Shadow, Station, and Retrograde phases in our next Forum on June 18th! Feel free to join us live or register for the mp4-video presentation! If you are seeing this after June 18th, feel free to purchase the mp4 of the webinar right here.

Friday, June 21st:

Friday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday late evening for details).

Friday at 10:02am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 24 hours, until 10:01am EDT Saturday late morning. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others and explore, actively, the things that can bring you 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?

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 late morning until Saturday late morning ahead of time. 

Friday at 10:36am EDT, Neptune comes to a halt at  almost 19 degrees of Pisces, beginning a 5-month Retrograde phase. Until this ends on Nov. 27th, we are invited to access Neptunian energy from within: Our intuition will be very strong during this time.

We can see how connected we are to our Higher Self/The Universe/Source. What’s more, we have an opportunity to dissolve any barriers between us and our Soul’s guidance. Are we sensing our Soul’s desire for love and oneness to the fullest? Are we connecting to our intuition? Is anything keeping us from experiencing the flow of life?

Some of us will feel the effects of this retrograde more than others: those of us with a Pisces Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets and points in 14-21 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius.

Friday early afternoon, at 11:54am EDT, the Sun changes signs from busy, versatile Gemini to protective, sensitive Cancer. This marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere: The Solstices are important turning points twice a year, as they are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. 

The Sun will journey through the sign of Cancer until July 22nd. When the Sun is in Cancer, we look for quality and safety in terms of what we want to create, and what we want to surround ourselves with. We experience life on a deeper, more instinctive level now. We have less interest in what is universal, and more interest in what affects us personally (and what affects the people we care for and love). 

Our being is colored by our emotions, so it might be more challenging to be objective. Family, home and our inner world becomes our focus for the next 30 days.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Cancer Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Cancer, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your energy will move more inwards, focusing on family or your home.

Saturday, June 22nd:

Saturday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC until 10:01am EDT (see Wednesday late evening and Friday late morning for details).

Saturday: we enter Eclipse season until July 31st; for 10 days before and after an Eclipse, we are usually in uncharted territory: anything is possible and it’s wise to expect the unexpected.

Flexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest — and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.

Anything brand-new (and I really mean brand, brand-new) started during Eclipse season will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after the Full Moon that follows the Solar Eclipse Eclipse. If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after July 31st, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic allow it to be.

That said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (before June 22nd) are another matter — don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season 😉 Also pay attention to anything that got started around the last Solar Eclipse in Capricorn, in January of this year; it might be time to wrap those things up, or move them to the next level with the upcoming Eclipse (on July 2nd).

Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the “here and now”. Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it’s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade — that’s a good thing!

Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete — so as best you can, be patient. This does not mean that we need to drop everything; it just means it’s wise to check in with your higher Self — do this whichever way feels right to you 😉

Saturday at 10:02am EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday late evening (June 24th). The energy of the Pisces Moon bears on the need for connection to our higher selves. It can be a wistful, sensitive and compassionate time; we are especially imaginative, and our intuition reigns. 

Boundaries and walls come down; we feel energetically connected to everything around us. As best as you can, therefore, be kind to yourself and others — surround yourself with loving energy. It’s a time best used for spiritual or creative endeavors and for dissolving our fears and doubts. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them 😉

Saturday early afternoon: we are being asked to connect to our feeling-body and allow for everything to flow freely: spiritually, emotionally, energetically. Give yourself and others a hug (not in a creepy way 😉 

Saturday late evening,  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. 

Sunday, June 23rd:

Sunday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).

Sunday early afternoon, a Venus/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 12:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will be strong until next week, Tuesday (June 25th). This is asking us to find an inner and outer balance between two apparently conflicting pulls: On the one hand, we have our connection to our immediate environment and valuing those connections, and on the other, our desire for expansion and new perspectives within our life philosophies.

We have a tendency to overestimate our collaborative capabilities right now: We want to do (and be) more than is actually possible right now. In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.

As you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account… and keep it real 😉 Find the balance between what you value in your immediate environment, with what a new perspective or adventure could contribute to you.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo 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 Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).

Sunday late evening, a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 10:32pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening on, it will be strong until Monday evening (June 24th). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.

It can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: “Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?” If you’re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative and make adjustments as necessary.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-19 degrees of Gemini or Capricorn? 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 Taurus, Libra or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)

Also, on Sunday, Chiron starts its station phase in 5-6 degrees of Aries. It is slowing down as it gets ready for its yearly 5-month Retrograde phase, on July 8th. We will feel the effects of its Station phase until July 23rd; its energies are more exalted during this period.

Chiron is the wounded healer; in Aries, our attention is turned towards our physical and sexual wounds, and our wounding around our self-identity. Chiron represents our inner insecurities, those self-conscious and wounded places. Chiron also represents the inner wound of abandonment and our need to “make it on our own”.

We are invited to approach these wounds on a holistic level, to heal them such that others are healed thereby. This is accomplished very simply and naturally when we work with the true beauty and strength of this energy: Compassion. Having compassion for our own wounds, and differences heals them and allows healing compassion for the wounds and differences we now see in others.

What physical or sexual wounding could you now acknowledge? Where are your insecurities around personal goals or being a leader in your own unique way? What needs your compassion or even your love? What needs to heal?

For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to listen to the mp3-recording of my Chiron-workshop: “Healing with Astrology”, if you already have access to it.  Click here for more info.

As a Member of my online community, you get access to this 90-min. recording for FREE via your Membership Portal: via the “My Courses”-tab

We also talked more about the Chiron Station, in relationship to our own birth charts, in our last Forecasting Forum on June 18th. Click here to purchase this webinar. If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member, please check your emails for the mp4-video presentation of the live event. It was sent out on June 18th.

Those of us with personal planets and points (ASC. or MC) in the following: 3-8 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn will feel this station more strongly.

And…

A heads up for next Monday (June 24th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 10:38pm EDT (see Saturday late morning for details). In the morning, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58am EDT; we started to feel this aspect from June 21st on, it will be strong until June 26th. At 7:10pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 3.5 hours, until 10:38pm EDT. At that time, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. More about all the details in next week’s forecast 🙂

One Last Announcement:

Last chance to join me for this week’s FORECASTING FORUM, on Tuesday, June 18th at 12pm EDT/9am PDT/5pm BST (London-time). Please note that we’ll talk about the Chiron Station phase in 5-6º of Aries: late June until late July, and the Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in Leo/Cancer: starting late June and early July.

What is coming into your awareness in regards to your inner wounded child? What triggers you? How do you deal with those triggers? How is your communication affected? Are you able to express your creative juices?
