The Roles We Identify With — Forecast for Sept. 24th – 30th

 

This week’s headline items: the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Monday late evening; Venus starts to slow down on Tuesday — preparing for her 6-week Retrograde phase; Chiron re-enters Pisces on Tuesday evening; and Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday late evening — ending its 5-month Retrograde phase.

There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 17.5 hours), Wednesday morning (for almost 21 hours), Friday early evening (for almost 15 hours), and Sunday late morning (for almost 26.5 hours).

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

Now, this week’s Forecast:

Monday (Sept. 24th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 7:04pm 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 rest of the day.

Monday at 1:26am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for a little over 17.5 hours, until 7:04pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could an optimistic approach towards the past allow for a new perspective?

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 all day until the evening ahead of time.

Monday afternoon, a somewhat challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday evening (Sept. 23rd) on, it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening (Sept. 25th) . 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.

An unexpected turn of events could leave us uneasy or unsettled. How flexible could you be, if you really tried? What needs to be shifted internally, so you can stay open and aligned with your unique, divine values?

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees of Libra or Taurus ? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius) 

Monday at 7:04pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning; this Moon placement starts the build up towards the Full Moon, exact later in the evening. 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.

Monday at 10:52pm EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 2 degrees of Aries. The entrance of the Moon into Aries earlier this evening started the energetic build up towards the Full Moon. The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries makes an opposition to the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra.

Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our “emotional body”, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. If you are a site Member, you may also want to watch my video on the subject

For this Full Moon, and indeed much of this month, our attention is directed toward creating more balance in our lives and more peace in our world.

The Aries/Libra polarity directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even heal them. In particular, it brings the focus to…

… “independence”: Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have I been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited or healed?

This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Ask: Where have these energies gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?

The Moon in Aries aligns with Chiron; this brings a need for healing to this Lunation: we’re being asked to take a look at “old” wounds and patterns that we remain attached to — especially in relationship to the denser masculine energies (anger, domination, violence) and around self-identity.

As best as you can, start releasing these patterns by bringing complete love and acceptance to their origins. Being human is seldom ideal. Being a spirit being in a human body can feel extremely limiting. This is not only true for ourselves, it is also true for everyone who came before us (ie. our ancestors), as well as everyone who is currently alive. Having limitations is part of being human!

For the next 2 weeks, ask yourself: What if I chose this body? What limitations have I experienced in it (physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual)? What might I have inherited from my ancestors? What if I brought complete love and acceptance to my human Self?

What pain am I identifying with? What if I fully embraced the memory of that pain? What if, just as an experiment, I chose to see it as a stepping stone to the human that I have become, that I currently am? How might embracing my own limitations benefit others? What about my past woundings? My humanity?

Something else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: the Sun is not only in opposition to the Moon and Chiron in Aries, it also aligns with Mercury in Libra. 

This is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships — and a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: What is calling to be resolved?

We also have a T-Square in this Full Moon chart: an opposition between the Chiron/Moon combo in Aries and the Mercury/Sun combo in Libra, which both Square Saturn in Capricorn. We are invited to become more aware of our own personal triggers when communicating with others, and to take responsibility for how we deal with them.

Triggers are usually connected to childhood experiences, and will “regress” us into the past developmentally, so that we deal with the current situation using only the resources that were available to us at the time the trigger originated — as that wounded child.

As best as you can, observe what you experience in your interactions with others, and let your inner adult be mindful of the inner wounding that’s being exposed — without “should-ing” on yourself. In other words, as best as you can, be kind to yourself whilst taking responsibility for your own triggers.

Ask yourself: When is my inner wounded child most likely to come to the surface? In other words, what triggers me?

What does my inner wounded child need from me, when it is at its most vulnerable or insecure? Can I give it a voice and allow it to be heard, without getting over-identified with it, and without shaming it?

How might a healthy parent approach a child that has been shamed for being different, or for being more sensitive than average — however this shows up (i.e. on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level)?

Ask yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? How might it benefit me to slow down, notice where I am at, and give myself time to get to the next place — especially when it comes to self-healing issues, professional accomplishments and within relationships?

The empty leg of this T-Square point to an early degree of Cancer. This invites us to be an adult about nurturing ourselves — to make sure we get plenty of rest, healthy nourishment, and affection.

For the next 2 weeks, ask yourself: If I focused on all of the above (i.e. plenty of rest, nourishment and affection), how might this impact my journey towards healing and wholeness? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent?

Could I be 5% easier on myself and still take responsibility for how I show up (both in “the world” and within my various relationships)? How much more might I achieve if I focused on self-care first?

Mars (the ruler of Aries) is currently in Aquarius making a Square to Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in Scorpio. This dynamic asks us to shift our current relationship to the masculine and feminine energies within ourselves. Going deeper to understand our relationship to the feminine will serve us at this time, as will a detached approach to the psychological and emotional traumas we have experienced around the feminine energies — whether they be on a personal or social level.

Ask yourself: What’s been my relationship to receiving from others? To allowing things to be what they are? To “being without doing”? What about asserting myself, going after something, or being actively engaged with life and others? Do I have a preference? Do I have judgments or shame associated with any of these? What might a shift towards integration of these two poles look like?

Mars aligns with the South Node in Aquarius, trines the Sun/Mercury alignment in Libra, sextiles the Moon/Chiron alignment in Aries, and squares Uranus in Taurus. This tells us that if we release or redefine our need to fit in and belong, we can find a more balanced approach in our relationships. We are also invited to stay detached in our social dealing with others and honor our own individuality without making anyone else wrong for being different.

Ask yourself: How could I honor my own values and allow others theirs — and respect their choices? Are other people’s choices really about me? Could I give their “choosing” the space that it needs, so I can honor what’s important to me, without taking things personally?

What if we found a new balance of masculine and feminine? How might my own inner balance of masculine and feminine energies contribute to this collective evolution?

On the day of the Full Moon, the Sun in Libra quincunxes Uranus in Taurus; this indicates a certain degree of restlessness and energetic discomfort in our interactions with others. Ask yourself: How flexible could I be for the next two weeks, if I really tried? What needs to be shifted internally, so I can stay open and aligned with my unique talents and preferences?

One day after the Full Moon becomes exact, two major things will happen:

1. Due to its retrograde phase, Chiron will re-enter Pisces until Feb. 18th, 2019; this invites us to complete any healing around past wounds to our emotional, intuitive, and spiritual “bodies”. Chiron was in Pisces from 2011 until April of this year, and now retraces the degrees of Pisces it already visited between March 11th and April 16th. Think back to that time, and ask yourself: 

What was my relationship to Source (or to my intuitive Self) at that time? What feelings needed to be felt on a collective level? What is something that needs to be revisited, when it comes to my feeling body? To my energetic connection with everything around me?

(Feel free to read more about this transit in Tuesday’s post 😉

2. Venus in Scorpio starts her Station phase only one day after the Full Moon becomes exact — she is preparing to come to a halt and start her 6-week Retrograde phase on Oct. 5th. We will address the Venus station and retrograde phase in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum (live on Sept. 27th)… And if you would like to find out how this might impact you personally, join us!

If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member watch out for an email on the day of the webinar, as well as within 24 hours after the live event, to get links to join live or listen to the mp4-video presentation.

If you are a Universal Member, I’m extending a one-time invitation to join us at a discount: use code 20%OFF when registering — or take the plunge and upgrade to Star or Superstar Membership, so you can join us every month at no extra charge!

Pluto in Capricorn is exalted until Oct. 12th (due to its station phase); it sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio… This invites us to find new perspectives on old traumas. A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions.

Pluto represents the process of our deepest empowerment — it’s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. How we relate to ourselves and others reveals how we deal with control, surrender, and trust.

Ask yourself: What am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul? What might be possible if I trusted 5% more that I already have within me what it takes to accomplish what I desire deep down?

In addition to the Venus Station and Retrograde, we will address Pluto’s Station and direct motion in more detail in our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Sept. 27th. Feel free to join us live, or if you can’t make it to the live event, watch the mp4-video presentation, whenever is convenient for you. To register now, click here.

To sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth and healing processes, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back: dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns, possessions that take up too much of our time and effort, etc. As best as you can, see this an an opportunity — allow, rather than resist 😉

Aries & Libra are both extroverted, social signs — and Saturn in Capricorn asks us to be mature and responsible in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring a mature, responsible approach to our emotional body, and get clear about what we need to feel accomplished vs. what we feel we “should” accomplish.

Ask yourself: How might I be able to focus 5% more responsibly on my connection to my emotional body? To my inner roots? What would it look like to be self-reliant and grow and evolve with the support of others?

Keep in mind for the next two weeks: When we get plenty of rest, we can accomplish more, in less time!

If nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality… not always an easy feat…

That said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that of having a healthy relationship to our own inner feminine and masculine energies. Ask yourself: What if I already knew how to experience this balance? What if my inner sense of that balance was more valuable than what society tries to tell me about it?

Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of “life”. As best as you can, take responsibility for your thought-forms and for your feelings — remain open and nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy. For more details on this powerful Full Moon, click here and watch my video on the subject: 

All this is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 0-4 degrees of Aries, Libra, Capricorn or Cancer (the personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC).

Tuesday (Sept. 25th): the Moon remain in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Monday evening for details).

Tuesday evening, a challenging Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 7:50pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (Sept. 22nd) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening. We’re asked to stretch and grow beyond what we have previously known ourselves to be; our commitments and responsibilities towards others are calling us to get out of our comfort zone.

Find creative ways to honor both your various one-on-one relationships, and your desire to focus on your long-term goals; allow for a balanced approach even if life puts up roadblocks or throws some curveballs.

What if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you rather have old structures in place, or a more collaborative approach to achieving things? Would you rather achieve status or harmonious relationships? What if you just decided to bring maturity and self-responsibility to the table when dealing with others, no matter what?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries, or Cancer? 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 Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)

Tuesday evening, at 8:09pm EDT, Chiron, the Wounded Healer, re-enters Pisces (due to its current Retrograde phase); and it will remain in Pisces until February 18th, 2019. This invites us to complete any healing around our emotional, intuitive, and spiritual wounds.

Chiron was in Pisces from 2011 until April of this year; it now retraces the degrees of Pisces it visited between March 11th and April 16th, 2018. Think back to that time, and ask yourself:

What was my relationship to Source (or to my intuitive Self) at that time? What feelings needed to be felt on a collective level? What is something that needs to be revisited, when it comes to my feeling body, my inner divinity? To my energetic connection with everything around me?

With Chiron in Pisces the attention is directed to wounds around water. On a global and environmental level, this represents the wounds to our planet’s oceans. On a personal level, “water” represents our emotional and spiritual essence; Chiron in Pisces therefore directs our attention toward our emotional and spiritual wounds, those places inside us where we feel insecure, self-conscious or wounded. This can include the primal inner wound of abandonment — the place we feel most alone.

This is also the place where we have the greatest ability to develop compassion — this is the beauty and strength of this energy. We may feel “handicapped” in some way, but when we approach things on a holistic level, with compassionate awareness, we can heal our imperfections through acceptance — and thereby heal others who “suffer” with similar wounds.

We are invited once more to be more conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey — individually and collectively 😉 We are being invited to forgive our own “humanness” and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.

There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind — not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about “feelings” and “being sensitive”, from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.

We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world — and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.

Think back over those last 7 years while Chiron was in Pisces and ask yourself: What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body?

Am I more in touch with my own intuition now, versus back then in 2011? What do I know about my emotional healing process that I didn’t know before then? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degreesof Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, or 0 degrees of Aries, Libra, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you will be more affected by this transit over the next 4.5 months.

Also on Tuesday, Venus starts her Station phase. The planet’s movement through the sky appears from Earth to be slowing down; it’s getting ready to come to a halt in almost 11 degrees of Scorpio and turn retrograde (for 6 weeks) on Oct. 5th.

The station brings all relationship, self-worth and financial issues to the forefront. This stationing period lasts until Oct 14th, bringing into focus what we do and don’t have; until then, we are more aware of our relationships or the lack thereof. This forces us to look at who we value (including ourselves) and at what is truly important to us in our intimate relationships and financial partnerships.

Ask yourself: Am I experiencing a lack of intimacy? What demands my attention when it comes to shared resources? What fears or concerns are showing up for me? In what ways am I trying to protect myself from re-experiencing past pains or traumas? Could I give myself permission to simply observe those methods and techniques when they show up? What if I kept my heart open and my mind soothed, as best as I can manage?

It’s important to pay attention to any messages we get during the station phase, because when Venus goes retrograde, we’ll get a chance to address these issues from the inside out.  We will address the Venus station and retrograde phase in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum (live this Thursday, Sept. 27th)… And if you would like to find out how this might impact you personally, join us!

If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member watch out for an email on the day of the webinar, as well as within 24 hours after the live event, to get links to join live or listen to the mp4-video presentation.

Is your Sun sign or Ascendant in Taurus or Libra? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-12 degrees of Scorpio,Taurus, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you will feel a stronger connection to this Venus station.

Wednesday (Sept 26th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Monday evening for details).

Wednesday at 6:28am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 21 hours, until 3:16am EDT (Thursday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what you want to build long-term.

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 all day and night ahead of time.

Wednesday late morning: an inner adjustment is needed, because 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, our need for fast-moving actions and self-sufficiency, and on the other, a desire to explore our past emotional traumas or places of disempowerment — and afterward, view them in a different light.

Also, the window to sign up for Thursday’s FORECASTING FORUM closes on Thursday at 5pm EDT — for details, see at the top… (below the mention of this week’s Moon VoC phases)

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 5pm EDT on Thursday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar. Star and SuperStar Members, check your emails on Thursday, for the link to join!

Thursday (Sept. 27th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 3:16am EDT (see Monday evening and Wednesday morning for details).

Thursday at 3:16am EDT, the Moon enters into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Saturday morning. 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 evening, a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 7:34pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday evening (Sept 23rd) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday evening (Oct. 3rd). This aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.

We have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-8 degrees of Libra, Aquarius, or Gemini,? If so, you may feel more blessed 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).

Thursday before 5pm EDT is the very last chance to sign up for today’s FORECASTING FORUM. Please note we will address the Pluto station/direct movement, and Venus’s current station phase, and her retrograde phase that begins on Oct. 5th — in relationship to our own birth charts. If you want to know how this is going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

Other than booking a reading with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s only $37 for the 90-minute webinar (plus, it also includes this month’s powerful Full Moon video, for anyone who is not yet a Member of my online community). To register now, click here.

Friday (Sept. 28th): the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Thursday very early morning for details).

Friday early morning: we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. 

Friday early to mid afternoon: we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in Taurus makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. Taurus and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires a steady, sensible commitment, and maybe even implement financial or other practical strategies that support our long-term goals.

Friday at 6:36pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 15 hours, until 9:26am EDT (Saturday morning). Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with 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 Friday early evening until Saturday morning ahead of time.

Saturday (Sept. 29th): the Moon remain in steady, peaceful Taurus and VoC until 9:26am EDT (see Thursday very early morning and Friday early evening for details).

Saturday at 9:26am EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Monday afternoon (Oct. 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 🙂

Saturday afternoon, 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.

Saturday evening, we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.

Saturday late evening, has a socially active feel… Sharing ourselves, collaborating, and thinking things through with others comes easily.

Sunday (Sept. 30th): the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Saturday late morning for details).

Sunday morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:22am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening on, it will remain strong until this evening, Sunday. This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).

This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of “awkward” — and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.

Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What’s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?

Note that I say “overlap”: Don’t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn’t make sense… and it doesn’t — it can’t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to “hang out” with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-16 degrees of Libra or Pisces? 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 Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

Sunday at 11:38am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that last for almost 26.5 hours, until 2:00pm EDT, next week Monday afternoon (Oct.1st).  Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and communicate your ideas for win-win scenarios.

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 late morning until Monday afternoon ahead of time.

Sunday late evening, at 10:03pm EDT, Pluto comes to a halt in almost 19 degrees of Capricorn, going direct, after completing its 5-month Retrograde phase (April 22nd – Sept. 30th). Pluto’s energy will continue to move more slowly until Oct. 12th.

When an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us — and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy has picked up speed again (around Oct. 12th).

During the retrograde phase, we had a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment — our ability to feel empowered from within — and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.

For the last 5 months, we’ve needed to tap into inner authenticity, embracing all of ourselves: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Now we can bring this inner authenticity to the outer world: We are ready to let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that were holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.

Whatever we have intuitively learned about our inner passion, inner strength and Soul’s purpose, we are now ready to bring to the outside world. This deeper connection is going to serve us in our journey towards authenticity. We can now build long-term goals that are in alignment with our Soul’s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”, deep down?

If you missed our FORECASTING FORUM on Thursday (Sept. 27th), feel free to buy the mp4-video presentation of this wonderful event. We talked about the Pluto Station in Capricorn (getting ready to go direct) in relationship to our own Birth charts, as well as the Venus station in Scorpio (getting ready to go retrograde on Oct.5th).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra or Aries? If so, you will feel this station more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Scorpio (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)

A heads up for next Monday (Oct. 1st): the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 2:00pm EDT (see Saturday late morning and Sunday late morning for details). The Moon in Gemini quincunxes Jupiter in Scorpio exact at 12:19am EDT and it squares Chiron in Pisces at 1:34pm EDT. At 2:00pm EDT, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon; this Moon placement also starts the build up toward the last quarter Moon (exact Tuesday morning). The Moon in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus exact at 4:29pm EDT, and it also opposes Saturn in Capricorn at 7:18pm EDT. More about the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
