Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, May 20th:

Monday, the Moon remains optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early morning. New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. The Sagittarius Moon persuades us to come from intuition and think in a broader manner.

We seek meaning and ideas that expand upon the “here and now”; we pursue truth and a new vision — the big picture, rather than the details. Spontaneity is key, we’d rather improvise than plan; this may tip into just “winging it”. We could also overdo or overstate.

Monday morning, we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within. You may 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.

Monday at 1:05pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 15 hours, until 3:56am EDT (Tuesday early morning). Use this intuitive time to explore your beliefs (and greater truths) around your ability to see life from a larger vantage point.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan  Monday early afternoon until Tuesday early morning ahead of time.

If you would like to join live, please keep in mind that registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after 4pm EDT on Tuesday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar. Star and SuperStar Members, check your emails on Tuesday for the link to join!

Tuesday, May 21st:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in Sagittarius and VoC until 3:56am EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Thursday afternoon. 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.

Tuesday at 3:59am EDT, the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual Taurus to versatile, fast-thinking Gemini, where it will journey until June 21st. With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable — which makes us quite social as well.

We enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant, but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Gemini Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.

Tuesday at 6:52am EDT,  Mercury changes signs from steady, slow-paced Taurus to curious, quick-witted Gemini, where it will journey until June 4th. For the next 2 weeks, our thinking shifts gears: Mercury — the energy of communication — will pick up the pace of our lives just a little.

Mental exchanges and abilities take priority for the next two weeks — talking, writing, sharing, connecting to the world around us in whatever way we can (internet, phone, in person, TV, radio…). This is a time with great potential for studying and learning, curiosity and open-mindedness, and social/intellectual growth.

Make sure you don’t exhaust yourself during this time. As best as you can, keep taking breaks and let yourself see the larger picture now and again. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel the pick up in pace more strongly.

Tuesday late morning, a Sun/Mercury alignment in 0 degrees of Gemini becomes exact at 9:07am EDT. We started to feel this from last Saturday evening on (May 18th), and it will be strong until this Thursday evening (May 23rd). This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.

Ask yourself: might it serve me to practice listening to others and myself? What might a practice like this look like? What if I acted as if I was being 100% heard by others? What if I returned the favor?

Given that this alignment takes place in Gemini, we may feel particularly chatty, fast-thinking, and perhaps even a little scatter-brained — do your best to avoid meaningless conversations.

We want an active role in communications — it’s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?

Our opinions are strong and our thinking independent — and we’re proud of both — so our egos may get bruised if we don’t feel “heard”. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that’s ok.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces, or 27- 29 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, or Leo? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)

Wednesday, May 22nd:

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

Wednesday, an opportune Mars/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 10:46am EDT. We started to feel this from last Saturday evening on (May 18th), and it will be strong until this Saturday evening (May 25th). We have the opportunity to create some forward movement in our lives, especially in connection to our future visions. We may want to work on projects with like-minded people right now. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones 😉

What is one of your unique goals? How could you go after what you want, while still keeping other people’s benefit in mind? 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 2-6 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 Aries or Aquarius (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

Wednesday afternoon, we have an opportunity to soften our need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach.

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

Wednesday late evening, at 11:58pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 14 hours, until 1:49pm EDT (Thursday afternoon). 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 Wednesday night until Thursday afternoon ahead of time.

Thursday, May 23rd:

Thursday, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn and VoC until 1:49pm EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Sunday very early morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space 🙂 Personal freedom becomes paramount.

Thursday, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:04pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday on; it will be strong until Friday. We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, social media or email interactions.

We are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like “impatient self-talk”, or the use of aggressive language (swear words for example).

Here’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family’s attitude towards communication? Toward speaking up for yourself? What if you tried a kinder approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 3 or 5 years old? What if you tried using a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?

For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: “Healing with Astrology” Click here for more info. Please keep in mind that as a Member of my online community you have automatically access to this workshop. Go to My Courses.

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, or Leo? 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 Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Thursday evening, a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 7:11pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (May 18th); it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (May 28th). This aspect invites us to stretch and grow beyond what we thought was possible in regards to our masculine energies. It requires a creative approach and an ability to see our insecurities around anger or self-assertion as a part of being human.

This aspect also challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.

We may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence — but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?

We may also experience triggers that are connected to past wounds from childhood. Take this as an opportunity to grow and allow yourself to notice (rather than judge) your reactions.

Ask yourself: How old am I, when I react to my triggers? What if there was no shame in my feeling angry? No matter how strong the feeling? What if I could connect with the part of me that got triggered and see it as valid and needing my love and understanding? How might a compassionate approach support me next time around?

Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 2-8 degree of Cancer, Aries, Capricorn, or Libra will feel most effected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries (Mars rules Aries).

Friday, May 24th:

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

Friday very early morning, we feel a flow and support towards socializing and connecting with others. Great ideas and concepts can be shared right now.

Early Friday afternoon, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connection with like-minded people — i.e., those that share our vision for humanity — and on the other hand, we also want to experience peace and physical pleasure (preferably surrounded by, and enjoying, nature and beauty). You could frame this as: “Massage? Or Astrology Gathering?” 🙂

However this shows up for us, we may need to make some adjustments or find creative solutions between two needs that are seemingly at odds; this tension clearly invites us to stretch a little — the key here is to honor our need for visionary social connections, while also enjoying the physical realm and all it has to offer.

Saturday, May 25th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).

Saturday at 8:51am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 17.5 hours, until 2:08am EDT (Sunday very early morning). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others and explore, actively, the things that can bring you progress. Ask yourself: Am I open to explore something different? Am I open to seeing something that I haven’t looked at before? Am I open to new adventures?

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning until Sunday very early morning ahead of time.

Also, Saturday until midnight is your last chance to take advantage of the Special Offers I currently have for my Members. In connection with last week’s Full Moon and in honor of my Birthday last week, I am offering some discounts for my Coaching-Healing sessions. These sessions are there to support you, not just with Astrology, but also with releasing and letting go of “old” fears, behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, etc. that no longer serve. This also includes being supported by gaining a more empowering perspective towards yourself and life… for more details see top of page,  or email me

Sunday, May 26th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC until 2:08am EDT; at that time, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until next week, Tuesday. 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. This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact at 12:34pm EDT).

Sunday early afternoon, at 12:34pm EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 5 degrees of Pisces becomes exact. The Moon in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate Pisces makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in versatile, chatty Gemini. 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 June 3rd’s New Moon in Gemini. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since May 4th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in early May?

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 2-7 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius or Virgo? 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.

Also, Sunday early afternoon, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 12:37pm EDT.  We started to feel this aspect build from Friday (May 24th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 28th). This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.

We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths — how might this be true for you?

Until Tuesday evening, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities — so “opportunities” are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow — we have to “take” them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Aquarius or Leo? 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 Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).

And…

A heads up for next Monday (May 27th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Sunday very early morning for details). The Moon in Pisces squares Mercury in Gemini, exact at 4:07am EDT, it sextiles Venus in Taurus exact at 7:52am EDT, is conjuncts Neptune in Pieces exact at 3:39pm EDT, it sextiles Saturn in Capricorn exact at 6:22pm and it squares Jupiter in Sagittarius exact at 8:54pm EDT. And Monday night at 12:21am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 14 hours, until 2:32pm EDT (Tuesday afternoon). More about the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
