June 22nd – 28th

Are You Experiencing the Flow of Life? — Forecast for June 22nd – 28th

 

This week’s headline items: Neptune comes to a halt on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, starting its 5-month retrograde phase, while Mercury’s Station ends on Wednesday (it will remain Retrograde until July 12th), and Venus goes direct, ending her retrograde and beginning her post Shadow period on Thursday very early morning. It’s time to set our New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions on Tuesday morning (and revisit them on Thursday evening); Mars changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Saturday late evening, and squares June 21st’s Solar Eclipse degree; and the First Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Sunday early morning.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 5 hours); Wednesday very early morning (this is a long VoC, at 35.5 hours); and Saturday late afternoon (for a brief 14 minutes).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, June 22nd:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. 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 day 😉

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.

Monday late afternoon, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.

Monday late evening, we may take an all-or-nothing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors… As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others. As best as you can, also tap into a greater wisdom that helps you grow in your career goals and expand your dealings out there in the world.

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, Neptune comes to a halt in 21 degrees of Pisces, beginning a 5-month Retrograde phase. Until this ends on Nov 28th, we are invited to access Neptune’s 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 resting enough? Are we connecting to our intuition? Is anything keeping us from experiencing the flow of life?

Some of us will feel the effects more than others. This is particularly true if you have personal planets in…

Some of us will feel the effects more than others. This is particularly true if you have personal planets in 19-22 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius — and if you have a Pisces Sun- or Rising-Sign. For you in particular, this is a great time to reevaluate your connection to Source — and perhaps to allow yourself to connect more fully to the flow of life.

 

Tuesday, June 23rd:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 8:33am EDT (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday at 3:20am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 5 hours until 8:33am EDT. Use this intuitive time to engage in a spiritual/intuitive journey inwards, or to start a creative endeavor and lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, allow for feelings to flow, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past.

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 morning ahead of time.

Tuesday at 8:33am EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Thursday early afternoon. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

Tuesday after 8:33am EDT, it’s finally time to set our Solar Eclipse Intentions…. since we just had an Eclipse, we get to set some powerful intentions for the entire length of an Eclipse cycle — in other words, for the next 6 months! Between 8:33am today and 1:34am EDT tomorrow (Wednesday, June 24th) is the best and most potent time to do so.

Make them powerful: They cover the next six months. If possible, align them with the Cancer energy that I spoke about in my Solar Eclipse video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video.

While writing your intentions, ask yourself: What if I created a more authentic connection to my feeling-body? Might that improved connection just possibly help me better take care of my needs? How could I make my experience of “home” or “family” more nurturing? What might unfold if I decided to be 5% more caring with my “inner baby”?

On Tuesday late morning, we are being invited to focus on making realistic choices when it comes to connecting with others; do your best to be your most authentic, joyful Self when connecting with like-minded people.

 

Wednesday, June 24th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day (see Tuesday morning for details).

Wednesday very early morning, if we are awake during this time, things flow nicely and we feel excited about new healing modalities. There’s an opportunity here to be compassionate toward ourselves and others and for connecting to our inner child. As best as you can, have fun when connecting with others, bring a healing quality to the table by tapping into your inner joy, explore things on a holistic level, and take a risk.

Wednesday at 1:34am EDT, we enter a very long Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 35.5 hours until 1:05pm EDT (Thursday early afternoon).  We may feel pulled in two quite different directions during this intuitive time: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with our inner child-energy (creative self-expressions and joy), 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, both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.

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 night/Wednesday very early morning until Thursday early afternoon ahead of time.

Wednesday late evening, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?

Also, on Wednesday, Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its Station — but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to). We have a chance to do some internal work around any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks concerning our feeling-body, home, family, safety, or emotional issues connected to the past.

 

Thursday, June 25th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo and  VoC until 1:05pm EDT (see Tuesday morning and Wednesday very early morning for details).

Thursday very early morning, at 2:48am EDT, Venus comes to a halt at almost 5.5 degrees of Gemini — turning direct after having been retrograde since May 13th. Whether by Sun-sign or Ascendant, Taurus and Libra people will feel a sense of relief as Venus starts speeding up again (Venus will still be moving slower until July 7th), helping us integrate the realizations of the past six weeks. This will lead to a greater sense of alignment between our inner values and outer experience around relationships and finance.

The period immediately before and after a planet’s Retrograde phase is referred to as the “shadow phase”; at these times, the planet travels once more through the degrees of a sign that it had already passed through before and during its Retrograde phase. Venus is usually in its shadow for about four weeks prior to a retrograde, and for almost five weeks after.

In this case, Venus will be in her post Shadow phase until July 29th; this is territory she already visited in April/May. Come July 29th, she will reach 21 degrees and 50 minutes of Gemini, finally going beyond where she has been before.

Between now and July 29th, we have a chance to go over all that we have learned internally in the past 6 weeks, and then apply it to our external reality. This is a chance to address anything that we have reassessed around our values, our relationships (including the relationship we have with our mind, and our environment), and our gifts and talents.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-22 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces? Do you have your Sun-sign or Rising-sign in Libra or Taurus? If so, you will be more affected by this Shadow phase over the next 5 weeks.

Thursday at 1:05pm EDT, Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Saturday late afternoon.This turns our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

Thursday evening, around 9:33pm EDT: If you set your New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions on Tuesday or Wednesday morning, a great time to revisit them, would be from Thursday evening on — look to see what you might want to add to them — and if you wrote them down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What Intentions do I have for the next 6 months around Self-care? Safety? Family? Feeling nurtured by my environment? How can I shift my relationship with my feeling-body? My upbringing? My roots or my current home?

 

Friday, June 26th:

Friday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Thursday early afternoon for details).

Friday early morning, calls for 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 heal our relationship with the inner masculine (assertiveness/anger, leadership, taking actions) — and on the other, the need to tend to our daily work or health routines.

Also, Friday early morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail. We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable.

Friday late morning, we have an opportunity to look into the details of our life that make up our daily routines, and see if they are in alignment with us…  we can ask ourselves here: Are my needs being met? Do my daily routines leave me feeling nurtured?

It is also an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and take reflect on, or talk about what things could improve everyone’s well-being — this could include health issues or concerns, or simply looking at our nutrition and what feeds us…

Friday night/Saturday very early morning, we seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, and if you are awake at this time, it’s a great time for being of service.

 

Saturday, June 27th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo until 4:16pm EDT (see Thursday early afternoon for details).

Saturday at 4:02pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for only 14 minutes until 4:16pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to seek a balance between reason and intuition — and if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great time for creative projects and being of service.

We may also want to fight for the underdog, or engage in more spiritual endeavors that can become part of our daily routine. Ask yourself: How can I follow my spiritual compass and still make practical choices?

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.

Saturday at 4:16pm EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until next week, Monday evening (June 29th). The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next three days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.

We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
 This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon in Libra (exact later today).

On Saturday late evening at 9:45pm EDT, Mars changes signs from sensitive, creative Pisces, to pioneering, enthusiastic Aries. Mars will journey through this fiery sign for an unusually long time — due to its upcoming Retrograde phase. It will remain in Aries until January 6th, 2021. Mars last traveled through Aries: January — mid Feb. 2019. Was there a significant new beginning for you back then?

For these next 6.5 months, we will have a strong drive for fast forward motion; our first instinct is for action. Spontaneity is an asset, as are simplicity and innovation. We like the fresh start; there will very likely be new ideas, pioneering action and “fresh” projects abounding.

We enjoy challenges with this placement, so we are happy to take on something bigger than usual — maybe a new, more demanding job or relationship. Our physical energy is great, but we may lose our initial enthusiasm quickly.

We are not likely to beat around the bush now; a direct approach is definitely favored. Things to watch out for: impatience; getting irritated by other people’s indirectness; being insensitive to other people’s needs or approaches.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries? If so, you will feel quite energized by this placement. Your physical energy will be tremendous, you are going to feel unstoppable. The only thing to watch out for: physical burnout.

One last thing to mention here, but very important, as Mars enters Aries, it will also make a Square to the degree of June 21st’s Cancer Eclipse. This aspect triggers things connected to that particular Solar Eclipse. It could signify a turning point in how we connect to our feeling-body, home, family, or Self-care.

Ask yourself: What action are needed right now that would bring about a shift towards feeling more nurtured or emotionally connected to my environment? What (or who) might bring about this shift? What might a good dose of Self-care do? What do we need to take action on, to align more fully to what nurtures and nourishes us? What needs a fresh start?

 

Sunday, June 28th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day (see Saturday late afternoon for details).

Sunday early morning, at 4:16am EDT, the first Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra, on Saturday afternoon. The Moon in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in protective, nurturing Cancer.

Last week (June 21st) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on June 23rd, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum — in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.

Remember, we’re still in Eclipse Season until July 20th, and thus don’t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, and find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow also for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that’s true in general, but especially true until Eclipse season ends 😉

Another thing to remember: if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be. 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. We are receiving a consciousness upgrade — that’s a good thing!

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Libra, Cancer, Aries, or Capricorn? 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). 

Sunday morning, an opportune Mars/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 6:59am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday on; and it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (July 1st). This aspect is an opportunity to have more self-discipline and self-motivation in our lives — we could find an increased focus on our work and activities, coupled with a sense of purpose.

We have a chance to face life with more purpose and maturity. We tend to be more practical than usual, and our progress in most projects is perhaps slow but steady. This can be a very productive time in our lives. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — this isn’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make the most of it. It’s our choice.

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 0-2 degrees of Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Libra, or 28-29 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Capricorn (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Also, on Sunday morning, we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies — on the one hand, taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world — and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?

Sunday mid morning, calls for some inner adjustments, as 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, we want to innovate in the area of our values (and maybe also have some financial breakthroughs); on the other hand, the feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships, supporting them (and perhaps collaborating).

And…

A heads up for Monday (June 29th): the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 6:48pm EDT. At 9:02am EDT, we enter a  Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 10 hours until 6:48pm EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening (July 1st). Also, on Monday, Chiron starts its Station phase, it slows down as it prepares to go retrograde. More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )
