Get Ready for the Next Phase — Forecast June 25th – July 1st

 

This week’s headline items: Mars comes to a halt on Tuesday late afternoon, starting it’s 2-month retrograde phase. The Full Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Thursday very early morning. Mercury changes signs from Cancer to Leo on Friday very early morning, and later in the day, Neptune’s Station phase ends and Chiron’s intensifies.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday morning (for 27 hours), Friday early morning (for a little over 19.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 18.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:

Now, this week’s Forecast:

Monday (June 25th) at 12:29am EDT, the Moon enters optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning. 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.

Monday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 1:19pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening on, it will remain strong until this Thursday. This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning concerning our connection to our creative, joyful, playful “inner child” — and also asks that we similarly examine how we view our intimate, emotional connections with others.

We have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.

We mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time — but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.

What are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough… and what is too much?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in…

…10-17 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Taurus? 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).

Tuesday (June 26): the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Monday very early morning for details).

Tuesday at 8:53am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for 27 hours, until 11:52am EDT (Wednesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.

Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself — and as always with a Moon VoC, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until Wednesday early afternoon ahead of time. 

Tuesday late afternoon, at 5:04pm EDT, Mars comes to a halt at 9 degrees of freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, to start its 2 months retrograde phase. We’re called to reassess all of our connections with like-minded people, plus any groups, networks, and causes we are affiliated with — and also to look at what we’ve been doing since May 12th. We may need to redo or re-envision anything that’s out of whack with our inner sense of progress or freedom.

This retrograde phase will last until the end of August — Mars will come to a halt again on August 27th, at 28.5 degrees of Capricorn.

We are definitely being invited to go within and tap into our inner assertiveness and strengths — getting ready for the next phase of our lives. This is prep time: Rather than start anything brand-new, go over what you already have cooking, or investigate future projects. Ask yourself: What would readiness look like? If there was something coming at the end of August, that I needed to be ready for, what might that be?

Is your Sun sign or Ascendant in Aries? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra, or 0-11 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus or Scorpio? If so, you will be more affected by this Retrograde phase. 

Wednesday (June 27th): the Moon will remain in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 11:52am EDT (see Monday very early morning for details).

Wednesday late morning, a Sun/Saturn opposition becomes exact at 9:28am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday evening on, it will remain strong until Saturday (June 30th). We are called to balance our inner emotional processes and “needs” with a focus towards our long-term goals, contributions, and social standing.

As best as you can, give yourself permission to connect to your inner feeling processes, listening with a gentle and kind ear. Nurture your “inner baby”, and at the same time, take responsibility for your efforts to provide value and create a healthy foundation for any long-term goals.

We may experience a lack of energy or confidence this week. We need to “buckle down”; this could be projected out into the world as limitations that arise from people or circumstances. Emotional blocks and a general feeling of slowdown are also possible.

Paradoxically though, we can also take this time to sort out our life, sift out goals or plans that are out of date, and thereby become more truthful to ourselves. Go slow and steady with this, as pushing too hard will backfire; ask yourself: Would you rather be “in control” or happy? This is also true when dealing with others — pushing will most likely backfire…

Think back to Dec. 22nd, 2017, when the Sun was conjunct Saturn in Capricorn. What seeds were planted back then? Where have you been creating structures for your long-term goals? As you develop more awareness of what you have (and haven’t) accomplished since then, ask these follow-up questions: Do you like what you see? Is there more room for integration? How can you bring 5% more awareness to your goals, your accomplishments or lack thereof?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or personal planets) in 3-9 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, or Aries? 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 Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn) 

Wednesday at 11:52am EDT, the Moon enters practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Friday night/Saturday very early morning. 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.

The Moon’s entrance into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn today starts the energetic build up towards the Full Moon that will be “exact” later tonight, in almost 6.5 degrees of Capricorn (more about the Full Moon in Thursday’s Forecast) Click here and enjoy this month’s Members-Only Full Moon video!

Wednesday late evening, a somewhat challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 11:41pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday very early morning on, it will remain strong until Thursday evening. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.

A lot of this discomfort centers around “unrealism” — we tend to idealize romantic and financial interactions, but at the same time, our sense that we’re doing exactly that leaves us uncomfortable. This applies to ourselves too; it’s easy for us to incorrectly appraise who we are, and where we’re going.

We might also get confused when we can’t complete things. The key is genuine self-acceptance (limitations and all): as we allow that, our range of love expression increases.

It’s also worthwhile to look at how our ideas are received by others: Can we involve them in our dreams? As best as you can, slow down: “If a thing is worth having, it’s worth waiting for.” Just for right now, could you simply have faith that everything will align eventually?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-18 degrees of Leo 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 Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). 

Also! Wednesday all day and Thursday until 2pm EDT, is your last chance to sign up for Thursday’s FORECASTING FORUM. Please note that we will be talking about the Chiron Station and Retrograde phases, as well as the first of three Eclipses, a Solar Eclipse in Cancer —  in relationship to our own birth charts — all of which will be going on in July. What can we expect from this preview that points to the next phase of our Soul’s Journey — and which continues in 2019?

Thursday (June 28th): the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Wednesday late morning for details).

Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning at 12:53am EDT: the Full Moon becomes exact in 6.5 degrees of Capricorn (the entrance of the Moon into Capricorn late on Wednesday morning started the energetic build up towards this Full Moon). 

A Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment, and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites. Very often we experience this (and achieve resolution) through our interactions with others, so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during a Full Moon.

The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn opposes the Sun in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer. Click here to watch this month’s Members-Only Full Moon video!

Lots of planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon chart — Saturn, Chiron, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune — and all play an important role, so buckle up!

For the next two weeks, we have a heightened sense that something has gone out of alignment and must be brought back into balance and re-integrated; the balance in question is between our inner experience (symbolized by Cancer) and our outer obligations or goals (Capricorn). It’s important to realize that our long-term goals need our attention — and that they are the very thing that will bring the fulfillment and inner stability we seek.

Cancer and Capricorn are both receptive “yin” energies, so clearly we are asked to go within before taking action. Cancer says we must recognize our own needs in order to feel internally stable — if we don’t manage this, we’ll give our power away to others, become victims, sacrifice ourselves for family, job, etc.

Capricorn seeks to develop an internalized sense of authority and responsibility. This Full Moon thus is asking us to look closely at how we balance taking care of ourselves (Cancer), versus how we want to contribute to the world at large (Capricorn) — in other words, where we have reached our limit, and where we need to set some priorities.

The Moon rules Cancer; and in this Full Moon chart, it aligns with Saturn in Capricorn — indicating that, not only are we focused on our long-term goals, we are also feeling a deep responsibility to our commitments — a need for structure and accomplishment. We get the sense that we must take responsibility for how we feel and commit to our long-term goals — taking our time for building and manifesting, rather than rushing into anything.

Any Full Moon also has us look more closely at the lower vibrations or shadow components of the energies involved. With Cancer, this is our ability to receive, and to feel safe from within; what protected us in the past may no longer resonate — our needs may have changed over time.

Ask yourself: What am I holding on to, simply because it is familiar? What do I need to feel safe in the world? Where is it “too much”? Where might it be “not enough”? How does my inner life inform my outer? What if self-care led to self-alignment? What if the same were true of nurturing my feeling body? Given those possibilities, might it be worth spending 5% more time and energy on self-care, just as an experiment?

With Capricorn, we need to take a look at those parts of ourselves that are domineering, rigid, unforgiving, self-servingly ambitious, status-seeking and hierarchical.

As best as you can, be really honest with yourself, and ask: What is my relationship to “control”? Where do I try to control life? Other people? Where do I control myself, by suppressing my needs? Is it at least possible that a slower step-by-step approach might improve my ability to be present to what’s needed in the moment?

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is currently in its own sign (Capricorn). Not only does it make a close alignment with the Moon in Capricorn, it also opposes the Sun in Cancer, and squares Chiron in Aries. This creates a T-square with Chiron as the focus point.

This could stir up feelings of inadequacy — a sense that we’re not competent or effective — and we could be confronted with limitations (our own, and those of others). A sense of separation or loneliness is very possible with this aspect.

Ask yourself: What situations, people, things, or thoughts stir up feelings of inadequacy? How do I respond or react when those feelings arise? What if I gave my limitations 5% more acceptance? What if I did the same for other people’s limitations? How about life’s limitations? What if I took a short break from pushing myself?

What if I took ownership of my personal triggers? What if I treated them with kindness? What if such a dash of self-compassion made all the difference in the world — especially when I feel triggered?

Chiron in Aries, and Mars in Aquarius are both stationing at the time of the Full Moon — and both energies are therefore exalted. Mars started its 2-month retrograde phase on June 26th. Chiron is getting ready for a 5-month retrograde phase that begins on July 5th. This adds an extra layer of vulnerability around our personal wounds, and our experience of “the masculine”, both within and without.

We may feel restless and impatient, become demanding or hard to please; we tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. Our inner rebel is on high alert!

Ask yourself: How do I use my masculine energies? Am I exhausting myself? What would shift in my life if my masculine doing-energy stood in service to my intuitive, receptive feminine? What role does my thinking play in all of this? Where might I be over-thinking things? Around my future? Around progress? Or perhaps community? Causes? Like-minded people?

The good news is that Chiron and Mars make an opportune connection to each other for most of the summer, especially between July 26th and Aug. 15th. This provides wonderful support for our healing process when it comes to our masculine energies — and is also an opportunity to heal issues around anger, dominance, and pursuits that take no heed of others or the planet.

Healing happens when we are able to embrace our own imperfections and limitations, and come to see them as valid, rather than as proof that something about us is “broken” or “wrong”. Self-compassion and a greater understanding of our wound-history helps us embrace ourselves as we are — we can start to love ourselves because of our flaws, not in spite of them.

Ask yourself: Have I felt shame when simply “being who I am” made me seem separate from others? Did being identified with my personal goals or passions, and wanting to go after things for myself, perhaps cause shame as well? Have I ever felt shame for my relationship to anger? Could I simply acknowledge those memories? Could I cut myself a little slack, just to see what would happen? What if a compassionate approach to my inner wounded child not only benefited me, but also helped others? What if I simply decided that I am exactly what I need to be?

We will also talk in more detail about Chiron’s Station and Retrograde phase, and how they relate to our own birth charts, in our next Forecasting Forum on June 28th.

YOu can access it via your Membership portal inside the “My Courses” tab.

There is also a Water Grand Trine in this Full Moon chart: the Sun in Cancer connects beautifully with Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces; this brings a wonderful flow to our ability to trust, rest, let go, and nurture ourselves.

Ask yourself: Who supports my journey towards greater self-acceptance and self-realization? Could I allow any such connections to grow stronger, deeper, more meaningful? If I got really quiet, might I get a glimpse of the love that is always present — within me and outside of me? How can I be 5% more gentle with myself?

To sum it all up for this Full Moon: When we experience inner balance, we can be both responsible and kind. Integrating oppositions brings limitless benefits.

Ask yourself: What if I am more than I thought? What if I were many things at any point in time? What if I simply took a short break from identifying with who I think I am? What if I opened myself up to a whole new way of being, just for this moment? Might I be a fuller, more complex, more integrated being than I thought? How might such a being show up in the world? What if I let me be all of me?

Bonus Questions: What if being “different” was a plus? What if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner wounded child and my insecurities around my own person? What if I did that when interacting with others ? What might shift if I could see my triggers as part of this life’s healing journey? What if they could help me discover my own unique flavor — a way of being fully myself in the world — by guiding compassion and understanding towards myself  and my relationships?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-9 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra or Aries? 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).

Click here to watch this month’s Members-Only Full Moon video! Also, you have until Thursday at 2pm EDT to sign up for Thursday’s FORECASTING FORUM! Please note that we will be talking about Chiron’s Station and Retrograde phases, as well as the first of three Eclipses (a Solar Eclipse in Cancer), all in relationship to our own birth charts.

Friday (June 29th): the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Wednesday early afternoon for details).

Friday very early morning, at 1:16am EDT,  Mercury — the energy of communication — changes signs from sensitive Cancer to fun-loving Leo. It will journey there until Sept. 5th — an unusually long time, due to its retrograde phase in late July – mid August. During this cycle, 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.

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.

Friday at 4:58am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 19.5 hours, until 12:37am EDT (Saturday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. We might get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care 😉

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 early morning until Saturday very early morning ahead of time.

Friday, 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 do some internal work in this area (until the retrograde phase ends on Nov. 24th).

Also on Friday, the Chiron station intensifies, as Chiron comes to a halt next week, Thursday (July 5th); we will feel effects of this intensified station phase until July 9th. As mentioned in last week’s forecast already, Chiron’s 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 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?

For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the mp3-recording of my recent Chiron workshop: “Healing with Astrology” — it is available for FREE for all my site Members. Click here for more info. Get access to this course via your Membership portal, via the “My course” tab.

Lastly, Friday night/Saturday very early morning, at 12:37 am EDT, the Moon enters freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Monday afternoon. 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.

Saturday (June 30th): the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Friday night for details).

Saturday morning, a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:01am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will remain strong until Monday afternoon. This aspect creates some tension in our lives; we may feel anxious or stressed by a situation involving financial stability, personal creativity, or self-expression.

We’ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to make some changes to a life situation or heart connection that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.

Our minds may prefer things to be joyful, fun, playful, and expressive — but at the same time we feel a great desire for progress and breakthroughs. The tension between these two desires could leave us feeling irritable, mainly because we also tend to take things quite personally right now; the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous irritable energy into constructive pursuits.

Since there’s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil’s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement — and let yourself drop into your heart.

Expect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs — during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?

As you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty 😉 You can think of this as “reorganizing” time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax — and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.

And as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time… Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 29 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or 0-5 degrees of Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, or Scorpio? 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 Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; and Uranus rules Aquarius). 

Saturday late afternoon, a harmonious Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 4:10pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on, it will remain strong until Monday evening. This aspect is a wonderful possibility for active healing in regards to our conditioning and day-to-day thinking structures.

We can bring compassion, both for ourselves and for others, to communications that trigger us. We are able to allow more for our “inner playful child” to come out in unique ways as we share ourselves. Forgiveness and understanding towards ourselves and others comes more easily now in general.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 29 degrees of Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio, or 0-6 degrees of Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius ? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo). 

Saturday evening, a somewhat challenging Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 7:29pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on, it will remain strong until this Sunday evening (July 1st). We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.

This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.

When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 8-10 degrees of Cancer or Aquarius? 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 Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries) 

Sunday (July 1st): the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Friday night/Saturday very early morning for details).

Sunday morning, a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 7:59am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday afternoon on, it will remain strong until this Sunday evening. This aspect also 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 and of others is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires us to be honest about what is causing our fears — most likely our lack of good boundaries and self-esteem.

We easily might get pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people’s lives, because we feel it is required of us. Careful examination of our routines and how we feel about ourselves is necessary, if we are to free our ability to love, develop and grow. This creates a deep inner healing.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 19-21 degrees of Leo 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; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).

Sunday at 6:56pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 18.5 hours, until 1:31pm EDT (Monday afternoon). Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others. Do your best to honor your own creative self-expression when sharing yourself with like-minded people.

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 Sunday evening until Monday afternoon ahead of time.

A heads up for next Monday (July 2nd): the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC until 1:31pm EDT (see Friday night and Sunday evening for details). At 1:31pm EDT, the Moon enters creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday night. In the evening, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 7:49pm EDT; we started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (July 1st) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (July 3rd). Also on Monday, Eclipse season starts; we will remain in Eclipse season until August 21st. More about the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
