June 3rd – 9th

Ability to Adapt — Forecast for June 3rd – 9th

 

This week’s headline items: the New Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Monday morning, Mercury changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Tuesday afternoon, Friday evening is the time to start taking actions on New Moon intentions, Venus changes signs from Taurus to Gemini Saturday late evening.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early afternoon (for 35 minutes), Thursday late morning (a little over 5 hours), and Saturday late afternoon (22 minutes).

 

Now for this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, June 3rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day; it will journey there until Tuesday early afternoon. Until then, 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 🙂

Monday morning, at 6:02am EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 12.5 degrees of Gemini. This the beginning of a new Moon cycle. Feel free to also watch my video on the subject

One major thing to note in this New Moon chart is that we have 5 planets in the signs over which they rule — this means that these planets feel very much at home and more empowered. The following 5 planets are in their own signs: Mercury (which is also the ruler of this New Moon), Venus in Taurus, Jupiter in Sagittarius, Saturn in Capricorn, and Neptune in Pisces (which also happens to be stationing and is therefore exalted, making its vibrational spin louder).

Something is “in our face” in regards to Neptune’s energies for the whole next month — something is demanding our attention and awareness. I already talked in great detail about this in our last monthly Forecasting Forum; feel free to watch, or get the video-presentation of this webinar, if you have not seen it yet — we apply Neptune’s movements directly to our own birth charts 😉

I will also talk more about all of this in a little bit, but first let’s, look at the Gemini influence of this New Moon.

With the New Moon in Gemini, for the next four weeks, we are asked to connect with others, and share our little hearts out, because Gemini is the archetype of curiosity, communication in all its forms, and mental connections — it represents the development of language and intelligence, as well as our ability to adapt and relate to our immediate environment.

This is a “busy” energy focused on collecting information. We are invited to look at our mental programming and conditioned mind, to see what needs to go, and to see what new thought structures we might want to create in its place.

Gemini is asking us to stay in motion, to think about all that we’ll need to know in order to move forward, and to connect and share ourselves with others. Here are some questions you can ask yourself for this New Moon: What motivates me to learn? When I talk to myself about sharing or processing information, what do I typically say? What do I say to myself about being connected to others? About my intellectual capacities?

The spiritual goal of Gemini is the development of… to read the whole New Moon article and get access to all the Coaching questions, click here

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-15 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces?  If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; 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)

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.

So… this month, we have two periods that are great times to set intentions: First, any time between 6:02am, Monday morning (June 3rd) and 11:42am, Tuesday late morning (June 4th). If you aren’t able to do it during that time period, wait 35 minutes and set them between 12:17pm, Tuesday (June 4th) and 6:02am, Wednesday morning (June 5th) (all times are in Eastern Daylight Time — the timezone New York City occupies). For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-page or follow me on twitter, as I post reminders on June 3rd throughout the day, and June 4th afternoon/evening, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉

Monday afternoon, we are required to make some adjustments — and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

Monday early evening, 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.

Monday 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.

Monday late evening, feels a little uneasy. Again, we need to develop an inner awareness …

…around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire for accomplishment, on the other, our need to make connections and exchange information.

We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.

Tuesday, June 4th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 12:17pm EDT (see Monday for details).

Tuesday before 11:42am and after 12:17pm EDT: If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, set your Intentions for this Moon cycle… If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore 😉

Tuesday at 11:42am EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 35 minutes, until 12:17pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with others  and share yourself. Communicate your needs, share your thoughts, or learn something new — maybe even teach something. Could you allow yourself to be 5% more curious and open-minded? What if there were a way to communicate your preferences without becoming attached to getting it all? What if you listened as well as you speak?

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 late morning/early afternoon ahead of time.

Tuesday at 12:17pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Thursday afternoon. 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 two days 😉

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.

Tuesday afternoon, at 4:05pm EDT, Mercury moves from curious, quick-witted Gemini into protective, nurturing Cancer. It will journey there  until June 26th. During this cycle, we are more sensitive to our surroundings, especially when listening and taking in information.

We also have more sympathy towards the suffering of others. On the other hand, we have less objectivity, as emotions are always involved in our interactions with others; this could also mean we end up taking things more personally than we really need to — perhaps even to the extent that we start feeling sorry for ourselves. As best as you can, remember to ask yourself: Is this really about me?

This is particularly true if you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo. You will feel a stronger need to connect with family or the people in your life that feel familiar and safe. You may also feel the need to talk about the past and work through past conditioning. If you are a Cancer Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will be more chatty for the next 4 weeks.

Wednesday, June 5th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Tuesday early afternoon for details).

Wednesday late morning extends an invitation to put some work in on any home or family projects — especially anything we’ve been meaning to get to for a while: What are you ready to tackle that will support you or someone you love? 

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

Wednesday late evening, we may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others. This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to stay grounded in reality.

Also, Wednesday late evening, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to expand our horizons and learn more about life, other cultures, religions, etc. — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.

Thursday, June 6th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 3:16pm EDT (see Tuesday early afternoon for details).

Thursday very early morning, 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.

Thursday at 10:10am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 5 hours, until 3:16pm EDT. This intuitive time could be a good time to connect with others from the heart. What if you let yourself enjoy others, in mutual pursuit of any shared values?

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 late morning until the afternoon ahead of time.

Thursday at 3:16pm EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Saturday early evening. 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?

Thursday night/Friday very early morning, 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.

Friday, June 7th:

Friday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day (see Thursday afternoon for details).

Friday late morning, an opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 10:16am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will remain strong until Saturday. This brings an opportunity for insight and novelty. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.

This aspect also brings an opportunity to see things from a different perspective, or to put a new spin on our “old” thinking structure. We like to connect in unusual ways and any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights — this might be a busy day. As best as you can — and as much as you want to — stay open to other dimensions 😉

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Cancer, Taurus, Virgo or Pisces ? 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 Virgo or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)

Friday early evening, a challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 5:52pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Sunday.  This combination might bring up some insecurities in our verbal, in-person or email interactions.

That said, this could also be an opportunity for healing; we are energized to move past harsh criticism of ourselves or others, towards more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. As best as you can, stretch yourself — and be open to bringing love and understanding to it all (and that includes you) 🙂

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or any personal planets in 2-9 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn or Libra? 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 Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Friday all day (and especially after 7:47pm EDT): if you set Intentions on Monday, or Tuesday after the New Moon became exact, today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions 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 actions are calling to me?

Saturday, June 8th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 5:45pm EDT (see Thursday afternoon for details).

Saturday at 5:23pm EDT, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a 22 minutes, until 5:45pm EDT.  Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.

Make space either for connecting to what’s important to you, receiving things of value, or taking care of your inner child —  expressing that part of you that is connected straight to your heart. 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 5:45pm EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Monday evening (June 10th); turning 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. This Moon placement start the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact Monday very early morning – June 10th)

Saturday late evening, at 8:45pm EDT, Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual Taurus to chatty, social, versatile Gemini. Venus, the energy of love, “relating” and finances will journey through Gemini until July 3rd. For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.

We love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don’t get bored, we will stick around — but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.

Our finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don’t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources — it’s a great time for short-term investments.

As best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini — you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second 😉

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a Gemini Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign

Sunday: June 9th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Saturday late afternoon for details).

Sunday very 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.

Also, Sunday very 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.

Sunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 3:34pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from this Thursday evening on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday evening (June 12th). This aspect asks us to stretch and grow: On the one hand we want to use our mind to feel confident and centered, on the other hand, we are compelled to listen to our intuition and let our imagination go wild.

As you can probably guess, we’ll experience more “flow” in areas that favor intuition and imagination, such as creativity or spirituality. If possible, hold off on plans for more “practical” things.

We might feel confused; but we are being asked to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).

Seeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to shift from our conditioning to feeling into the truth of who we are?

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 Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo, Neptune rules Pisces).

Sunday late evening brings an opportunity to get clear about what works and what doesn’t. This is also an opening for us to get specific and take actions around the home, with our family, or on projects that foster a sense of emotional security.

And…

A heads up for next Monday (June 10th): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo until 8:29pm EDT. At 1:59am EDT, the first Quarter Moon in 19 degrees of Virgo becomes exact; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical Virgo makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile Gemini. In the early morning, a somewhat challenging Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 5:04am EDT; we started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (June 9th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (June 11th). 

Monday, at 8:01am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 12.5 hours, until 8:29pm EDT. In the late morning, a Sun/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 11:28am EDT; we started to feel this aspect build from June 7th on, it will remain strong until June 13th. And, at 8:29pm EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. More about the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
