Now for this week’s Forecast…

Monday, June 24th:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 10:38pm EDT. 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.

Monday in morning, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (June 21st) on, it will be strong until this Wednesday. We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money — so it’s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas — if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it’s likely you will not see things as they truly are.

We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love — if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days — it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-22 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces)

Monday at 7:10pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 3.5 hours, until 10:38pm EDT. This is an intuitive time; use it to share about your past, and to offer loving and compassionate support to yourself and 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 evening until the late evening ahead of time.

Monday at 10:38pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. 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 also starts the build up towards…

This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Tuesday morning).

Tuesday, June 25th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Monday late evening for details).

Tuesday morning, at 5:46am EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 3.5 degrees of Aries becomes exact. The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in protective, nurturing Cancer. This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed — and what needs to be changed.

This Moon phase brings us closer to July 2nd’s Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Cancer. 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 — in this case, around Sept. 5th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Jan. 5th? What did it mean for you?

As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-6 degrees of  Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn? If so, you are more affected by this month’s last Quarter Moon. 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.

Tuesday late morning, 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 identity 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.

Wednesday, June 26th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Monday late evening for details).

Wednesday late morning, we feel an enthusiasm for personal achievement and exploration; in particular, we have an urge to explore something new that helps us develop an all-around understanding of the bigger picture. What might you be able to explore right now that you haven’t so far? What’s calling to you?

Wednesday late afternoon, we have an opportunity to connect with others and move a project forward that is dear to us. It’s time for action: What small (or even large) action steps could you take? Or is it a question of “who” rather than “how”?

Wednesday early evening, we are also invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects…

Wednesday at 8:19pm EDT, Mercury — the energy of communication — changes signs from sensitive Cancer to fun-loving Leo. It will journey there several times (due to the Mercury Retrograde phase). The first time, from June 26th — July 19th and then again from Aug. 11th – 29th . During those cycles, we are more expressive — even theatrical — and are also more convincing and persuasive, since we exude confidence when we speak or write.

Our mind is more able to connect to our heart, so we tend to feel generous and expressive. This is a great time for gratitude, compliments, connecting to your inner joy and being playful. The only thing that can come between you and your heart is pride; do your best not to put it there.

Star and SuperStar Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on the evening of June 18th 😉

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the need for being self-expressed and playful more strongly. If you have a Leo Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will be more chatty for the next 3 weeks.

Thursday, June 27th:

Thursday is a big day! Lots going on… first let’s start with the Moon. It remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries until 9:32am EDT (see Monday late evening for details).

Thursday at 3:51am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, until 9:32am EDT. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to any seemingly unsolvable problems. Make space both for home improvements (or family affairs), and for nurturing your personal goals — for being completely yourself.

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 Thursday early morning until the late morning ahead of time.

Thursday early morning, a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 4:20am EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on, it will remain strong until Friday early morning. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.

Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears — most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people’s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into “control issues”.

As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-23 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 Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)

Thursday at 9:32am EDT, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Saturday afternoon. 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 😉

Thursday afternoon, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 1:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening. 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 😉

Ask yourself: What is my uniqueness? How could I 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 4-8 degrees of Cancer, Taurus, Pisces or Virgo? 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)

Also, Thursday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:00pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday evening. This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within. We might feel less confident about who we are, and have a hard time projecting a social “front”. Our conditioning and wounded sense of Self may be out of harmony with each other.

As best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or “less than”. It is perfectly ok to be yourself and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in the following: 3-9 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra or Capricorn? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).

Friday, June 28th:

Friday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Thursday late morning for details).

Friday late afternoon, we are invited to make some internal adjustments… We may want to enjoy some luxurious pleasures, while feeling at the same time a desire to have an adventure of the mind and soul

Friday evening, Slow down a little and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. Rushing will backfire right now.

And last but not least, also Friday evening, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. Inner and outer beauty is key!

Saturday, June 29th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 5:09pm EDT (see Thursday late evening for details).

Saturday very early morning, we get a chance to empower each other around our long-term goals, by keeping things down to earth and enjoyable.

Saturday at 2:38pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 2.5 hours, until 5:09pm EDT. This intuitive time provides an opportunity to pursue what feels emotionally fulfilling to you, and for satisfying your need for beauty and physical enjoyment (this could be food, massage, relaxing under a tree, visiting an Art show, watching a musical, etc.) Focus on what feels important for you without rushing 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 Saturday afternoon until the late afternoon ahead of time.

Saturday at 5:09pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Monday late evening (July 1st). 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 🙂

Also, on Saturday, Mercury starts its station-phase in 2 degrees of Leo. From today on, right through July 18th, Mercury slows down, as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on July 7th. During the station, we feel Mercury’s energies more strongly.

Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde — or the shadow phase that follows.

For the next 2.5 weeks, 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 transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible), wait until after Aug.13th, when Mercury exits its second shadow phase.

As with any station phase, some of us will be more affected than others, depending on how it interacts with our personal chart. If you have your Ascendant, Career Point or any personal planets in 0-7 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, or Scorpio, you will be more affected by this particular station phase. This is also true for those of us who have a Gemini, or Virgo Sun- or Rising-sign (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo)

Sunday, June 30th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Saturday late afternoon for details).

Sunday 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?

Sunday late evening, we are invited to balance our desire for sharing and gathering information with our desire to go beyond learned knowledge and tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow and expand mentally, physically or spiritually.

Sunday night/Monday very early morning, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward being responsible and building something that will last long-term.

Also, on Sunday, the Chiron station intensifies in almost 6 degrees of Aries, as Chiron comes to a halt on July 8th; we will feel effects of this intensified station phase until July 16th. Chiron’s energies are even 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 heals them and allows healing compassion for the wounds 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?

Those of us with personal planets and points (ASC. or MC) in 4-8 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn will feel this station more strongly.

And…

A heads up for next Monday (July 1st): the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 9:24pm EDT.
